The first album you bought.

[thatshortguy]

First five CDs I ever owned, in order:

1. Bought Soundgarden's "Screaming Life/Fopp" EP.

2. Bought Metallica's self-titled album.

3. Traded some cassettes to get Alice In Chains' self-titled album.

4. Bought Beck's "Odelay".

5. Bought Soundgarden's "Down On The Upside".

Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish

Eh I still listen to it. It's not awful.

Could be worse.

I actually went to buy a best of Alice Cooper, but they didn't have it, so I bought that instead.

[ACCBiggz]

Probably ReLoad.

[Guest JT179]

First album I actually bought was AC/DC Back In Black. Got it along with a portable CD player with my first tax refund check. I was so proud of myself! I actually had something cool to match all those kids with money at the school.

Sweetness is one hell of a song...other than that I've never listened to much JEW...I've got access to the latest album (I think it's the latest anyway) but I can't be arsed to listen to it.

Now to the subject at hand...First album. "Definately Maybe" on tape...I was young at the time...I remember picking up "(What's the Story) Morning Glory", "The Great Escape" by Blur and "Travelling Without Moving" by Jamiroquai round about the same time...So I'd say it was about 95/96/97. These were mostly influenced on my brothers taste of music...in fact I think we may have bought some together...however after that I draw a blank and the next album I remember buying is "Just Enough Education To Perform" by The Stereophonics and two Travis albums "The Man Who" and that other one, the one where they were popular ()...though my brother and I have some albums from between this period, I just can't remember buying them. So yeah, I always seemed a year or two out for the most part...but that's because I only really pick up cheap albums. Even now. I started buying a lot more albums a year or two ago...shit man, I have a Jennifer Lopez album gigging around somewhere. But I sort of gave up. The last album I remember buying was "Mew & The Glass Handed Kites" and it's awesome.

So yeah...I went into far more detail. "Definately Maybe" on tape. Which I actually found a month or so ago. Brought back memories.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory.

It's good.

2001 was a fucking excellent year for music.

[Liam]

Savage Garden - Savage Garden...quite obviously I win the topic with that >_>

First albums I remember being bought for me were RHCP - Californication and Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP

[figos]

Americana

[YI]

Most people waited far too long before buying their first CD. Whilst I'm younger than a fair few of you, I feel old reading this topic.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Yeah, this thread makes me feel old. I was first running out of room to put my CD collection around the time when most of you were buying your first album.

[Liam]

Thats the weird thing with me...I only really started buying music 4-5 years ago, or really even paying much attention to it, but I've managed to buy/be given 450+ CD's in those 4-5 years.

"Weathered" by Creed

[TMM]

Hanson's debut album...I win

Worrying thing is...it's not ACTUALLY that bad...plus I thought the lead singer was a hot girl...then I found out it was a guy and that was bad...bad.

Fuck...that's a lot. I only really started buying CD's reguarly a year or two ago (Stopped now due to limited budget ) and I have somewhere around 100, I would estimate. However not all of those are 'legit' copies. Also I payed full price for very few of those.

I buy from sales, second hand, Amazon marketplace, anywhere cheap, trade stuff in, etc etc.

A lot of my CD's weren't full price, looking at mostly £5-£6, some even cheaper depending on where I go.

But I literally seem to buy a good 15 a month, seemingly.

Add the fact that I tend to ask for CD's from people for birthdays, Christmas and such. And I spend all my tips on CD's.
