I think it was a Michael Jackson album but I really don't remember exactly.

I remember it like it was yesterday. My dad took me to the store and said he'd buy me two albums, one of my choice, and the second he would choose.

I picked out Arrested Development, They sung Mr. Wendel and Tennessee and what not. My dad picked out Michael Jackson Off the Wall. Still two CD's I listen to on a semi consistent basis.

For the younger crowd have you guys even heard an album played or seen a turn table?

Re: What was the first album you ever bought?

When I a kid, my grandmother gave me some birthday money which I used to buy this rump shaker

That was probably my first album...or New Edition's Candy Girl (on vinyl of course)

I also vaguely remember Musical Youth's Pass the Dutchie (single, on vinyl)

Those were the days when you had to drop the needle on the record, and then the best part was always seeing what the B-side track was going to be.

Kids these days with their ipods...

Yea, and the B side always sucked so you flipped the speed to 78 so it sounded like the chipmunks.

I was 12 at the time I actually bought two at the same time and thankfully they weren't embarrassing choices looking back now.

Van Halen's 1984 and Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA. Both on cassette.

I have a poster of the 1984 album with the little boy on it hung in my office. I have had that poster forever follows me every where. Now that my son is getting older he eirely (sp) is starting to look more and more like that little boy. Karma?

first album was Quiet Riot Metal Health, good stuff, Slick Black Cadialac..

Re: What was the first album you ever bought?

I don't think I bought an Album for myself until I was 16 or so. I'm pretty sure it was RHCP's Greatest Hits, and I bought it while on vacation.

My childhood was littered with "variety" compilations like 'Living in the 90's' and 'Cool Rock' and 'Jock Jams'.

I remember the day I found out Shaquille O'Neal played basketball too!

First album I ever bought was Kill Em All by Metallica but the first album I ever remember listening to was their "black" album when my uncle introduced me to them.
