The first album you bought.

[probablyoliver]

So what was the first album that you bought with your own money on your own accord? I'm not talking christmas presents or any such things, but your very first album.

Mine was Jimmy Eat World - Jimmy Eat World / Bleed American.

I bought it a couple of weeks after my birthday in November 2001, after hearing a song round a friends house and really liking it. Since then it's become one of my favourite albums, with some of my favourite songs of all time (A Praise Chorus and The Authority Song for sure, with If You Don't, Don't, Get It Faster and Sweetness just following it). I actually listened to it last night for the first time in about a year, and it brought back many a memory. It's also one of the albums I've kept in pretty much mint condition, because I hardly take it anywhere. It's not really one of my favourite albums, but it means a lot to me, and in a superbly emo way, the songs speak to me.

So, a trip down memory lane, what were your first album(s)?

[SeanDMan]

Tragic Kingdom. >_>

My second was Underdogs, which at least was a step in the right direction.

[Your Mom]

Tragic Kingdom is good!

[Steeb]

Sum 41 - All Killer, No Filler.

I suck.

[SeanDMan]

Tragic Kingdom is good!

It hasn't aged well.

Plus, I am a man.

[ADG]

"Parklife" by Blur

[GoGo Yubari]

Eh. Personally, I liked No Doubt up until Gwen Stefani went insane five years ago.

Anyway. First CD I BOUGHT? God, I have no clue. For the longest time people just bought CDs for me, and they were almost always really terrible now that I look back at them. The earliest CD I can REMEMBER buying is Gorillaz's self-titled debut five years ago, but I'm sure that's not it.

[Xero Gravity]

Iron Maiden - Edward The Great

[Bigal]

AC/DC - Live.

God, it was awesome

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

The Beavis and Butthead Experience. Poetry and Prose>*

[Buford Ripley]

Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of...

[Cactus Drags]

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory.

It's good.

2001 was a fucking excellent year for music.

[ONO]

Parachutes by Coldplay.

Which I fell in love with.

[fourstarfizzle]

Greenday - Dookie

Got it the day it came out off my older cousin, changed my life.

[mattman1624]

I think the first two albums I bought together were The Color and the Shape by The Foo Fighters and P.O.T.U.S.A's first album.

[Iain76er]

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem. Mainly because he swore & stuff.

It's not bad, but I ain't into that type of music anymore, so it doesn't get played.

[Skummy]

At the same time, U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind", and Rob Zombie's "Sinister Urge".

Eclectic as fuck >_>

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Sum 41 - All Killer, No Filler.

I suck.

[VerbalPuke]

My first album was Black Sabbath's Paranoid. I got that bad boy for eight bucks in 1994, and I still have it to this day. It still plays great, and the album still hasn't lost it's luster.

[therockbox]

I think it was Americana by Offspring, basically because I loved "Pretty Fly" but couldn't find it anywhere in the shops. I listened to that song over and over again, but never really anything else by them for ages.
