Team Avatar Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 What were the first albums you bought for yourself / asked for gift when you were getting into music??? I imagine that most people here bought CD's first - but if your first purchases really were cassettes or vinyl, put those! this is also really hard, since I'm sure I'm forgetting earlier purchases for the ones I remember distinctively listening to a lot. note: that now cd your older sibling jammed to and you sometimes borrowed to listen to does not count! My list is all CDs: 1. Sum 41- All Killer No Filler 2. Eminem - 8 Mile 3. Good Charlotte - The Young & The Hopeless 4. Offspring - Splinter 5. Linkin Park - Meteora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Nirvana - Nevermind Green Day - Dookie Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Nirvana - Bleach Beatles - Abbey Road From what I can remember those are the first 5 albums I purchased, all on cassette. I bought Nevermind when I was 8 after I heard them on MTV. Damn did I get lucky. Lucky that I heard them and lucky that my parents didn't bother to listen to them before they let me buy it.

MicLima Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I can't remember in what order I got these, and they're probably not the FIRST five, these are only what I can recall some 20 years later. All on cassette. 1. Def Leppard - Adrenalize 2. Metallica - Black 3. Nirvana - Nevermind 4. Korn - Korn 5. Marilyn Manson - Smells Like Children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The first CD I ever remember buying with my own money was Nickelback's Silver Side Up. I regretted it so much I cried about it. I was 11. Luckily my parents had decent taste in 90s music, so I didn't have to buy my own Counting Crows or Matchbox 20 CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

najerarick88 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 My god, thinking 11/12 years back on the CD's was difficult, haha. Like stated above, these might not be the very first five I purchased but it has to be pretty damn close. Somehow I still remember a couple of the stores I purchased these at. CD's: Slipknot - Slipknot Mudvayne - The End Of All Things To Come Lamb of God - Ashes Of The Wake (Fry's Electronics) System Of A Down - Steal This Album (Christmas present from older brother) Slipknot - Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses (Target on day of release, actually ditched class with a buddy to go get it) Vinyl: The Acacia Strain - Continent (Very first record purchase in '09) The Black Dahlia Murder - Miasma Between The Buried And Me - Colors Ion Dissonance - Solace Meshuggah - Obzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
