What was your first album?

[luvmydogs]

What was the first album you ever bought? (Or for those of the younger generation,which CD)? Mine was "News of the World" by Queen, which I bought in 6th grade. Still one of my faves. :D

[worm761]

[browneyes]

Michael Jackson's Thriller. Still have it. I don't think I have anything to play it on though.

[Serena]

Donny Osmond :rolleyes: :D

[Big V]

"Meet the Beatles" - Wish I still had it.:(

[MerryPoppins]

The Monkees. I was in love with Peter and then Davy beginning at the age of 3 or 4. :teeth:

[holycow]

[addicted_to_WDW]

The first one I bought myself was Foreigner 4. I had a Leif Garrett album before that. :rolleyes:

[tkyes]

My first album that I remember was probably a Sesame Street one. The first one I was truelly excited about was Michael Jackson Thriller.

My favorite 8 track when I was little was Donne and Marie :)

Browneyes & Tkyes--I loved Thriller. It was HUGE when I was a junior in high school. In fact, our school had to ban all sequined gloves, 'cause we were all wearing them (or one of them) to class!:rolleyes:

[browneyes]

LOL! 1 white glove and the red zipper jacket was seen everywhere at my school at the time I bought that album. I never did get into the fashion of the music. But I listened to the Thriller album a lot.:) That was when Michael was semi-normal.

[Melissamoo]

My sister and I had albums 'together' - Osmond Brothers, Jackson 5, etc..

BUT my first 'very own (i think it was the summer between 6th and 7th grade) album was - DON'T LAUGH - Peter Criss's solo album!!! I saved and saved for it, and for some reason - I loved KISS, and I loved Peter Criss.
Yes, I must be the only person on the face of the earth who will actually admit that they bought it, let alone STILL HAVE IT!!

I still get a little smile run across my face when I hear the song "Beth" on the OLDIES station.

[JasonLyons]

mine wasa the Partrage family, it had there bus on the cover, i had forgotten what a nerd i was

[Buckalew]

It was Endlss Summer (the Beach Boys:rolleyes: ) I was 8 or 9. That is when I first knew them... I still have the album and still love their music!

[luvmydogs]

Oh Melissa! I LOVED Beth! That's my middle name, and since I could never find any songs titled Kim or Kimberly, I took that one for my own!:D

I think I was nerdier, Jason.:p

[snoopy]

Elton John's Captain Fantastic. :)

[Towncrier]

It was either Deja Vu (Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young) or In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (Iron Butterfly). I was more into 45 RPM singles so it took me a while to make the leap to albums. I remember that my first 45 was Lady Godiva (Peter & Gordon).

[Boots]

Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company's-Pearl. At least I think it was Big Brother. I had several of hers with all three of the band names. I also bought Steppinwolf's Born to Be Wild at about this same time.

[catsrule]

A KISS album

[Catzeyes]

Crosby Stills Nash and Young's 4way street and Dylans Blood on the Tracks

[Towncrier]

I forgot to mention that I also used to purchase pre-recorded reel-to-reel tapes instead of albums. I own a copy of CNSY's 4 Way Street on tape. It wasn't until many years later that I bought a vinyl version. I think I have it on CD too. Please don't tell Sue. For some reason she gets upset when I buy the same movie or album over and over again each time the format changes. At least I don't own any 8-tracks. :)

[accomp]

I'm pretty sure that it was the soundtrack to "Grease". :cool: I think I was in the 4th grade.

[Diane]

I had a Shaun Cassidy album, but I think the first one I bought myself was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Damn the Torpedoes.

[shep]

don't remember first one I bought, but I remember someone giving me Glass Houses by Billy Joel...
Memorized one side of the album, never played the other...:rolleyes:

LOL me too...:rolleyes:

[Towncrier]

I have my turntable (Garrard Zero 100) hooked up to my computer so I can convert albums to CD's. So far I've only done this with a couple albums for myself. I did manage to resurrect a Big Daddy Don Garlits album for a friend, complete with pop and click removal.

[fireplug]

First album was Chicao VIII
second was Tubular Bells

Steve

The Partridge Family...

[helenabear]

I believe it was Michael Jackson "Thriller"

[CindyKansas]

1976 Queen's "Night at the Opera". Still have the album but do not have a turntable to play it on. Love that album. probably drove my parents crazy playing it over and over.

[yepod]

Simon & Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' in 1970

[msdznyduck]

Ready for this one?? It was a Little Anthony and the Imperials album when I was about 13. I musta listened to that one at least a million times on my "hi fi"......boy does that date me or what???

[Kitty 34]

"Let it Be" by the Beatles. Still have it.:D

[Amusement Park Junkie]

Tapestry by Carol King.
It held the longevity record on the Billboard Album Chart for quite a while until passed by Pink Floyd and "Dark Side Of The Moon"

[snowwhitemom]

"The Sugar Hill Gang", probally about 8th-9th grade I suppose.

[Serena]

Pin Wizard, I've got their Greatest Hits, the one with them sitting in the house.

[paras4ri]

I knew it was the Partridge Family but thanks to your post I know it was specifically The Partridge Family Sound Magazine!

:wave:

[abaldacci]

Mine was disney and it had Just a spoonful of sugar and such on it. Thanks for taking me back nice trip.:D

[SPAGo 98]

[shep]

I think it was Men at Work..Business as Usual

[HugsForEeyore]

I think mine was Ghost in the Machine by the Police, or Esc4pe by Journey. :)

[Olaf]

Mine was "Sleeping Beauty" when I was in the second grade. My first pop star album was the Osmonds, the one where they were standing in a hole in a field. Mom gave it to me for my 10 birthday. I remember screaming bloody murder. So embarrassing now. :rolleyes:

[mouseclick1]

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", I was 10 years old.
