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.

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

 

[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!

 

[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 ) 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!

 

[browneyes]

I think I was nerdier, Jason.

 

[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.
