first CD I bought with my own money was Nirvana Unplugged when I was about 9. I had a couple of cassettes before then, but they were all copies or given to me. I wish I still had my Superfuzz Bigmuff and Alapalooza :(
The first CD I ever owned was Sixteen Stone by Bush X. It was a birthday present though. The first CD I ever bought was Off The Deep End by Weird Al Yankovic.
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
I got into music when I was about 13 or 14. The first that I bought was Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience. Then I picked up the Pumpkins Siamese Dream. Shortly thereafter I joined Columbia House and I remember my first order was:
Nirvana - Nevermind
STP - Core
PJ - Vs.
Nsync and all the pop shit... Then I bought an Aerosmith record.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
Tape - Michael Jackson-Bad - First cassette I remember owning. At 7 years old, this was the shit.
CD - Aerosmith-Get A Grip - I got rid of a bunch of cds in 98 or so and kinda wish I had kept this one.
Vinyl - Pearl Jam-Vitalogy - My sister had given me her copy of Vs a few months before Yield came out, shortly after I picked up Yield on CD I found this gem in Sam's. Someone ordered it and never picked it up. They gave me $5 off.
life is the study of dyin'
and how to do it right
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first "I bought it!" album was "The art of rebellion" from Suicidal Tendencies, back in 1993.
Ths second one...Well, I can't remember... My sister was allways buying the cds, or asking my father for them. I think I just bought that one and the avocado this year
Uno es dueño de lo que calla
y esclavo de lo que habla.
My first cassette was "Throwing Copper" by Live. A year later, pretty much everyone had converted to CDs, so I went out and bought a CD boombox and my first CD...also "Throwing Copper" by Live. Goddamn that is a great album!

I was eight years old when I bought my first tape, 1984....and as bad as it seems it really isn't too bad of an album seeing as I bought it on CD years later....

the queen thread made me think of this. so now i am curious, what was the first album that you owned? i dont mean those books on records from my little pony or winnie the pooh. i mean the first piece of music!
mine is Queen Classic. i was about 11 or 12 and loved Wayne's World. the scene with Bohemian Rhapsody did it for me. still on of my all time favorite songs.
not long after that, a young obsessed pearl jam fan was made.
I also bought Queen first - their Greatest Hits (part 1)...also because of Bohemian Rhapsody....
First album I bought......it was either Jimmy Hendrix's "are you experienced" or Dire Straits 'Brothers In Arms"..cant remember, I know I bought those two pretty close to eachother.

Wow, that's funny because the first thing I thought about was the Queen album (LP) I bought when I was about 10.....looong before Wayne's World, btw.
But I am not sure if that was my first...
I remember even younger wanting (and getting) the Drive My car (Beatles) and Centerfold (J. Giles Band) singles. Yup, 45's!
