MagicMarker

Bon Jovi - Crossroads

DerekDGoldfish

Verve-Urban Hymns

Havent listened to it in years and ashcroft bores the hell out of me know, but thier first 2 albums were bad and I supose there are worse albums to have bought first.

First single was the World Cup 90 song

Howard the Duck

Think mine was The Shamen - Boss Drum. Still have it somewhere. It came out in 92 so i would have been 10.

Yes.


It has become a kind of cult album. I bought it when it first came out (only vinyl back then :eek:), so it must be a bit of a rarity.

Not certain about this tbh, either Nevermind or Dookie, just as i was getting into "heavy" music. Was around 13 or so.

I mostly listened to my parent's albums in my early years, they have decent taste. The first album I remember buying was the Spider-Man soundtrack.

First album bought for me was Michael Jackson - Dangerous, I was 8.
First album I bought myself was Metallica - The Black Album, I was 9 or 10.

grumpytrousers

i like it

thelastpartizan

When I was 10 I was buying a "pirate tape" from 1 of the lads that used to sell tapes out of a suitcase on henry street. I'd only enough money for 1 of the albums and I couldn't decide between Definitely Maybe & Morning Glory, both oasis, I had both tapes in my hand trying to decide when a Garda came around the corner and the suit case man ran for it leaving me with the 2 tapes in my hand. Still have both albums and have bought very few since that bettered those 2.

DazMarz

Think it was Motley Crue's Girls Girls Girls or possibly Megadeth's Rust In Peace

Not 100% sure...

jonas7

the hits tape 7:o

Kettle316

Embarrassingly the 1st album bought was The Offspring - Americana when i was about 9 or 10!!

Even more embarrassing i still listen 2 it from time to time!!

Bill2673

Paul McCartney : Pipes of Peace.

I went to see him recently. I wasn't disappointed that he omitted all of the material from this minor non-classic.

Paid £10 for it 27 years ago.....

Goes to show
(i) How expensive music was back in the day. (£10 is roughly €12.60. I'd imagine thats the equivalent of about €30 today).
(ii) How old I am getting.

Rented Mule

It was just after Christmas in early 1976. I bought Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run. I turned eight in June of that year.

Mike Litoris

Queen's Greatest Hits in June 87. I was 13.

I think I paid £7.95 for it on tape in the Ilac Centre.:D

Joe_Dull

Meteora by Linkin Park
Still has sentimental value for me, even though it's rubbish...

LadyW

Dare by The Human League... I was 15

HalloweenJack

First album I had bought for me was Sash! - It's My Life. I was eight.

AVA: It's on vinyl... Brilliant album... I even have the "remix" album of Dare called Love & Dancing. I can recommend both if you like the synth kind of thing. Also, you should check out Upstairs at Erics by Yazoo, Luxury Gap by Heaven 17 and Architecture & Morality by OMD...
