I actually bought 3 the first time I ever purchased "my own" music.
They were Jesus Christ Superstar, Blood Sweat & Tears 3, and The Rolling Stones Through the Past Darkly.
What was/were your first?

LL Cool J, Radio. Was a phat album at the time, had it on cassette, then Poison was the first CD I ever got.
hmmmmm, good question. I remember some of the first singles I actually bought with my own money was Jethro Tull's Bungle in the Jungle and Argent's Hold you Head Up and the BeeGee's Jive Talking :stoned:
The first albums I can remember buying are Tommy (the cover band version :rastasmoke: ), Alice Cooper Goes to Hell :eek:, and Kiss Live :icon401:
. . . the last choice was soon corrected when my cousin turned me on to Rush's All the Worlds A Stage. :smokin: . . . "we would like to do for you side one our latest album. this is called 2112." :pimp:
Jimi Henricks "Are you Experienced" 1967
Gangster's paradise. :) OR whatever that was called. I can't think of the rappers name.
Believe it or not, 2pac "All Eyes On Me", followed by Pantera "Cowboys From Hell", cant make this shit up.
Nice! :thumbsup:Quote:

Something/Anything by Todd Rundgren
Skid Row(1989)... Gotta love 80's American metal bands.
Jackson 5 "Third album-Maybe Tomorrow" on 8track,lol!!!
Took me a little while to look this up...The song I remembered most from this one was (Honey Chile)...I watched the Jackson 5 cartoon every Saturday and wanted the 8 track that had (I'll be there) on it but they didn't have it...Bought "Maybe Tomorrow" instead...I was so not a teenager yet...My parents were so cool...
Wow . . . 8 track. Showing your age buddy. :DQuote:

On a tangent, something got lost in the switch from vinyl albums to tape and then CD. The album art! I remember going over to different friends' houses and just thumbing through their albums to check 'em out. Get a good one like the Santana album with all the hidden faces in it and you had your mission for that smoking session, ha ha.
Metallica - The Black Album on tape and Cypress Hill - Temples of Boom on cd...
Probably the first Beatles album, Meet the Beatles.
Many of my old "gatefold" LP albums still have traces of ancient weed in the middle of them. Opened, they were perfect for cleaning, rolling joints, etc., and you could view album lyrics, photos, artwork, etc. at the same time.
Some of the gatefold albums I had, and still have in some cases, are the White Album (Beatles), Follow the Yellow Brick Road (Elton John), Live at the Fillmore East (Allman Brothers), WOW (Moby Grape), AXIS Bold as Love (Jimi Hendrix), and others.
I still have a box of 8 track tapes - but I never really used them back then. They were fun, though. How else could you hear a little of the B side of a recording while listening to the A side? I even have a JVC 8-Track recorder, just the thing to transfer CD's to for vintage sound played back on a battery-driven 8-track Panasonic portable player (which I also have somewhere under the bed), a car player, or home deck. Some of the better early home 8-track decks even had vacuum tubes in them, but I've never found a used one for sale. Still looking, though!
Green Day - Dookie when it first came out
lets see.
the first cds i bought were from the first time i went out in my car when it was mine. and i got jimi hendrix- are you experienced, cream- the very best of cream, and Jefferson Airplane-Surrealistic Pillow.
all before i smoked too
now, in terms of the first "albums" i bought, i had downloaded and paid for some red hot chili peppers when i was younger, but those were the first hard copy music i bought.
Sgt. Pepper, of course.
