Your First Rock Album
 

LP or CD the first one you remember buying as a child.

For me it was 1963 when I bought the Byrds turn, turn, turn album.

For Hard Rock it was Led Zeppelin I and II on the same day in 1970.

For Metal Black Sabbath's Paranoid a couple years later.

The first album I bought was Alice In Chains - Facelift when I was 10.
Before that I just had Mums records.

I was given all my albums as gifts up until I was about 13. I bought Nirvana In Utero with some birthday money...way back in 1993, shortly after it was released! I skipped class and went downtown to buy it at this store called Turk's.

RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik

My first album was Dark Side Of The Moon. It really weirded me out at the time, I was only 9 or 10.

The Beatles 1, age 11.

NOFX- So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes

I think I was 11 or 12.

black sabbath= black sabbath
the beatles - white album
led zep - 3
the doors - the doors
age 5

Does it have to be an LP or a CD? What about a cassette? Yeah, that's right, I grew up in the 80s. All the music I bought was on cassette. :D

Anyway, the first cassette I ever bought was "Document" by REM when I was in 4th grade back in 1987, when that album was brand spanking new.

I didn't own a CD player until the fall of 1992. The first CD I ever bought was "Swing the Heartache" by Bauhaus. I remember I didn't have much money on me and had to choose between buying dinner or buying the CD. Even though I was really, really hungry I figured I'd be happier the next day if I bought the CD so I went for it.

And I think the first record I ever purchased was "Meddle" by Pink Floyd. I was in 7th grade so that would make the year 1989 or 1990.

Bing Crosby's "White Christmas".

This one.....

I was about 11 years old I think.

You people remember that stuff? Wow....

beatles greatest hits album and nevermind on the first day i got my cd player... woot

it's not exactly a "rock" album.. but my first was Enema of the State. wooo!

Van Halen - 1984 and s/t were the first two rock albums I bought. I was probably about 10.

Iron Maiden-Live After Death. On LP. I loved that double album gatefold. It opened a whole new world for me. 1986.

Rob Zombie- Hellbilly Deluxe

The Byrds were formed in 1964. "Turn! Turn! Turn!" was released in December of 1965.

Lol.

Memory cheats sometimes.

I had a massive argument with my friends mother when she was totally convinced she bought Alice Cooper's Schools Out album in 1969.

Smash Hits by Jimi Hendrix. I was 15 years old in 1985. I had always loved listening to music on the radio, but never bought an album or record before this, believe it or not.

"Rubber Soul"--The Beatles

Give the man a break. I'm over 15 years younger, and my memory is shot to bits, so Jay's must be completely shot. Bless.

First rock album GIVEN to me (I want it clearly noted I did not buy it): Bon Jovi, Cross Road

First album I BOUGHT: Aerosmith, Toys in the attic

BRIAN

In my previous post that you quoted, please show me precisely where I ridiculed or disrespected him in any way.

He posted some incorrect info, then I posted the correct info. All without any smartass remarks or goofy smilies.

pink floyd - dark side of the moon, but i didn't buy it, i stole it from my dad :)

No disrespect at all music man you simply corrected by error. I would have been 6 or 7 in 1963, so it's unlikely it'd been then even if the Byrds had formed.

It was meant as a joke my good man.

7th Grade, AC/DC Back In Black and a Led Zeppelin: Early Days and Latter Days

Ok, so I've posted the first album I bought (AIC - Facelift)

But before that My Mum tried to mould me into a little Johnny Farnham. I had every album up to 1990 ish, and the haircut to match. I knew all the words and was even taken to a concert on my 9th or 10th birthday.

And as I chose to write this for you to read, Yes, I am willing to be laughed at.:o:

My first album....I think it was Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

I'm fairly sure mine was Enema of the State or Dude Ranch. It was Blink I know that.

I believe my first album (tape) was Classic Queen, I now own it on CD :)

In Life aging is about Upgrades

The Beatles anything by them

The first "rock" album I ever owned was a burned copy of Sum 41's "All Killer, No Filler" & Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory/Reanimation" (I'm still not sure which one it was to this day) on the same CD.

I still love Linkin Park. And Sum 41 helped fuel my later love for punk rock. I didn't really get into rock music in general for a few years later though with bands like System Of A Down, Linkin Park & Limp Bizkit.

:confused:

The Joshua Tree by U2, I just owned this thread.

Um, no.

yeah!
