What was the first tape/record/CD you bought?

What was the first record/tape/CD you bought for yourself?

What about the first one you loved, that maybe belonged to a family member or you received as a gift?


First one I bought myself I'm almost positive was Motion City Soundtrack, or Fall Out Boy's EP, but I'm not going to count an EP.

First one I received as a gift was Britney Spears.

First I ever received was ace of base's the sign. First I ever bought were the wallflowers bringing down the horse and eve6's self titled album (which I still love & now have on my iPhone.)

The only record I remember ever getting was a Herman's Hermits and the song "No Milk Today" and "There's a kind of Hush" I got that from a friend of my parent's when they were in college. I was 5.

My first 8 track I got was the Empire Strikes Back soundtrack. It's the only one I remember ever having.

My first Tape?? I have no idea. I had a lot of Metallica, motley crue, Whitesnake, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. Doesn't matter who was first, they all ****ing rule

My first CD's were a double buy, Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit, and totally out of character, Public Enemy, the Empire Strikes Black.

I remember I didn't even have a stereo, I had just traded an old dirtbike that didn't run for a cd player and had to hook it up to an old boom box to listen to it It was great. I was so much more inventive back then.

Today, if I can't plug my iPod into something, i'm screwed

I think the first thing I ever got was Michaels Jacksons Thriller on vinyl. First tape I think was salt n peppa lol and first CD was probably the simpsons (complete with Do the Bartman lol.) my mom HATED that CD so much hahaha and I listened to it CONSTANTLY

BACKSTREET BOYS! lol. I had their cassette tape from their 1997 first US album (I was 7, haha). So my parents bought it for me.

Hanson, "3 Car Garage". Obviously, this is the CD that included the wonderful Mmmbop.

man, making me feel old lol. I was in highschool when Hanson came out :rofl1:

Yeah a lot of this is making me feel old LOL.
We didn't buy a lot of vinyl when we were kids. I'm not sure what the first tape I ever bought was, it was probably something like The Lion King soundtrack?? My sister was older than me so she was usually the one to go out and buy a tape (like New Kids on the Block) and we would listen to them together, so I didn't buy them.
It was a big deal when our family finally got a CD player... I think the first CD I ever got - not bought, but got - was Paula Abdul's Spellbound. I never mentioned it to him but it was given to me at an event in the park, at a radio station booth, by one of the DJs I eventually worked with at said radio station. (One of my co-workers who is my age told another co-worker "When my sister and I were little, we used to fax requests to you whenever our dad took us to work with him!!" LOL oh man. So yeah, I never mentioned this story to this guy.)
No idea what the first one I might have bought would have been. You would think I'd remember since it was so monumental to get a CD player. =P

I don't remember the first tape I got, but when I got my first CD player, I got a Tommy Page CD with it.

I remember many, many afternoons of playing Nintendo with my best friend and blasting the Days of Thunder CD. Other than that, I was a musical theater nut from a pretty young age. Most of my CDs were things like Chess and Phantom.

Wait, Tommy Page is a real singer?? LOL... I always remember the Full House episode and I thought Tommy Page was just an actor, a fake star, hahaha.

Pretty sure the first CD that was mine was a BSB CD we bought at McDonalds.

I thought this would be fun here because the other forum I'm on is pretty much all girls between the ages of 17-23...and almost every one said Britney Spears.

First given to me was a Dolly Patrons nine to five movie soundtrack. Was a tape
First I bought was GNR loose your illusions 1 and 2 and Easy E's Boys in da hood single. All three on CDs.

first tape I ever got? vanilla ice lol. No idea what the first one i bought was.

first CD I ever got? Offspring, first cd I ever bought. much dance mix 95.

So funny your brought this up. I found the orignal offspring, a green day and 2 much dance (93 and 96) at a 2nd hand store today. I SO bought them all. and have been blastin them all day lol

The first music I ever got was in junior high (7th or 8th? Can't remember). For Christmas I received a disc man and the self titled *NSYNC album. Listened to that on repeat for ages.

Oh christ how am I supposed to remember THAT? Probably Journey.

The album I really bought, Johnathan Livingston Seagull that I secretly listened to because no one admitted to listening to Neil Diamond in jr high. THe album I bought so my friends would think I was cool, but my Mother said put me in a bad mood (and she was right) was Alice Cooper and some Heavy metal collection. To this day I am still not fond of either. Harry Chapin was my favorite at that time too and many of his songs still make me smile.

My very first record given to me from my brother out of our juke box, was Solider Boy and Witchy Woman. I was pretty little tho I don't remember what age exactly. We had a really cool jukebox with the curved glass and the arm that came over and picked up the record.

Well, Britney Spears is probably like, the 2nd CD I got :rofl1:
That, or Nsync.

The only LPs I ever got were four Disney picture albums, fox and the hound, lady and the tramp, Cinderella and Snow White.
First cassette tape I bought, Weird Al's "fat", I have them all now, and can't wait for he concert, lol.

First gift tape was Bryan Adams, so far so good, it had the Robin Hood song everything I do, I do it for you!

First cd I ever got was dire straits brothers in arms.

I don't know if I be got a cd for a gift.

Well, I'm showing my age, but here goes....

I got my very first tape player for Christmas when I was in 2nd grade, and the first tape I bought was the Flashdance soundtrack.
