I am sure this was asked in the past on here

But i thought this could be a fun thread! what is first 5 or 10 or hoever you can remember albums you first bought?

Mine where

1. Quiet Riot- Metal Health

2. Aaliyah- Aaliyah

3. Rob Zombie- Hellbilly Deluxe

4. Mozart- Concert Classics

5. Guns N Roses- Appetite For Destruction

6. Metallica- Ride The Lightning

7. Nelly- Nelly[Don't judge me i was only 11 ]

8. Anthrax- State Of Euporia

2. Michael Jackson- Invincible

3. Janet- All For You

4. Michael Jackson- Thriller

5. Michael Jackson- Bad

After that for awhile their I just downloaded off itunes ect. Not until about 2-3 years ago did I continue getting CD's (which I have a ton of and consider far superior to mp3 now)

[Edited 4/10/12 21:34pm]

Bad Girls - Donna Summer

Off the Wall - Michael Jackson

Prince - Prince

For You - Prince

Love Alive 2 - Walter Hawkins and The Love Center Choir

Guilty - Barbra Streisand (Still my favorite Streisand, followed by "The Broadway Album.')

Dirty Mind - Prince

Those are the earliest I remember from high school. But by late 1981 I was buying music all the time.

They all still get airplay except for Off the Wall. I listen to songs off it. The others, I want to hear the whole album.

I don't why with Off the Wall.

Can't remember the first 5, but the first three I remember because they were the first tapes that I owned that were all mine and I was pretty happy about it..

1) MC Hammer - Lets Get it Started

2) Ton Loc - Loc-ed after Dark

4) Gerardo - Mo Ritmo (the guy who sang Rico Suave)

Probably some Jacksons related CD.

Still have them.

1. Rufus featuring Chaka Khan 2. Ask Rufus 3. Rick James "Fire It Up" 4.Donna Summer "Live and More" 5. Donna Summer "Bad Girls" 6. Rick James "Street Songs" 7. Teena Marie " It must Be Magic". 8.Prince "Dirty Mind"...I'm sure there were others in between, but those were the one that were life defining to me!

Sign of the times by Prince

Bad by Michael

Lovesexy by Prince

and some kind of double album with 12" versions of Surburbia (PSB), We don't have to take our clothes off (Steward), Talk to me (Debarge) etc.

Good times!!

I used to play an album for months and months.

The first album I bought was Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, but I can't remember what my next few albums were..

Earth Wind & Fire - All'n All
Electric Light Orchestra - Discovery
Beatles - Red & Blue Album
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life

Earth Wind & Fire - I Am
Earth Wind & Fire - Greatest Hits (actually that was a gift from an uncle)
Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack
Xanadu Soundtrack
Paul McCartney - McCartney II
Queen - The Game
Queen Live Killers
Bill Joel - Glass Houses
Diana Ross - Diana

Donna Summer - On The Radio

Stevie Wonder - Hotter than July

a bit more than ten, cause I can't remember the exact order in which I bought each album, and I probably forget some too, however the first five to kick it off I am pretty sure about.

after that it went a little something like this:

it's pretty obvious that I am still very young and was born only in the early 90s

[*edit* forgot about Donna Summer and Hotter than July ]

[Edited 4/11/12 2:07am]

As best as I can remember, I think it went like this.....

1. Grease Soundtrack

2. Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack

3. Live and More - Donna Summer

4. Bad Girls - Donna Summer

5. Hot Box - Fatback (I remember it was the first album I ever bought that wasn't a double album)

6. Fire It Up - Rick James

7. Off The Wall - Michael Jackson

8. Dirty Mind - Prince

9. Prince - Prince

10. I can't remember the order in which I bought albums after that because I started buying more of them.

Those are just albums though and albums were hard to get except for special occassions such as birthdays, Christmases, or gotten through bribes from my grandmother such as ....."Andy, I'll buy you an album if I don't have to take you to that damned fair and walk my legs off while you ride those rides". I bought more 45s than anything in those days because they were much cheaper.

Queen - Flash

Stevie Wonder - Hotter than July

Human League - Dare

Tears for fears - The Hurting

Pat Benitar - Tropico

I'm not going to count records my parents already had or 45's my parents put my name on if I liked the song I'm going to start with when I started buying my own CD's

TLC-CrazySexyCool

Real McCoy-Another Night

Boyz II Men-II

Ace of Base-The Bridge

Mariah Carey-Daydream

Madonna-Something to Remember

Brandy

R.Kelly

Max-A-Million-Take Your Time

Monica-Miss Thang

I also bough some Canadian albums full of europop songs of that time period like Dance Mix 95' and early 90's rap and hip hop that featured a lot of Heavy D, Soul II Soul, Maestro and so on.

[Edited 4/11/12 3:26am]

Phil Collins - But Seriously...

Michael Jackso - Bad

Batman - Prince

MJ - Thriller

Robert Palmer - Heavy Nova
