Wow, dating myself with that one.  |
Talk about dating yourself! 1910 Fruitgum Company's "Simon Says"! (1968!) Loved "Happy Little Teardrops"!! 
Ya-ta: Hey, the OP DID ask about albums, not 45s. My first was Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline"!
BUT the first ones I remember listening to were (ok...this is REALLY dating myself!!) were 78s! Some Perry Como and Frank, of course! My sister and I loved to listen to the old musicals like Peter Pan, The Music Man and Oklahoma! !
My mom still has the Beatles "second" album...in mint condition! Bet it's worth a fortune! |

Eight track? That's just crazy talk, like UFOs or Santa.
First album ever purchased- They Might Be Giants, Flood
"Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night"
Still enjoy it, but once a year now. |
If I had to choose one album in the world to have never existed it would be this one.
I dated a girl who's CD collection was about 10 CDs, all of which were show tunes or other lame things. Apart from this album. And apparantely this album was the only one she liked because she kept it on repeat and played it again and again and again and again and again and again and again..
If only I hadn't been sharing a triple room I could have taken her back to my place.. but instead.. it was her place and this awful awful album non-stop. It tore us apart. That and the fact that despite my improvements to her paper for her "religions of star trek class"(really) she still got a C.
I feel like flying to the states and slapping that girl thanks to your post. Ugh. |

Cindy Lauper - She's so Unusual which I didn't really like but it was all I had and I thought I was cool. Then I feel in love with Tiffany and actually had to buy that cassette twice because the first one sounded like crap after being played front to back every day for a year ro so. Third was Tiffany's second album which I loved and still enjoy today, most people hated it. Then I picked things up a notch and started buying more. Def Leppard Hystera got me started on hardrock/metal. After buying the rest of the Def Leppard catalog I switched to CD. Metallica And Justice for All was my first compact disk. After that I can't really keep track because I bought at least one metal cd every week since then ( I have a room full now  ) The last CD I bought was yesterday, I picked up Dragon Force's newest effort. It pretty good, but nothing special. How's that for a long winded ramble for a simple question?  |

| My first album was The Who........Who's Next? All these years later, it's still a classic. I still love listening to Baba O'Reilly, Won't Get Fooled Again, Bargain and Behind Blue Eyes. All amazing tunes. |

Can't remember, may have been a batch of 8 tracks from Columbia House for a penny.
Including Gladys Knight & The Pips, Santana, Sly and The Family Stone, CCR, Chicago...etc |

Funny you should mention Illmatic. I bought it on cassette when it was first released, but the damn thing was defective. I had to wait another 3 days before my mom would take me back to Toronto and exchange it. I was so hype to listen to it, those 3 days were torture.
