Tapes which were N.W.A. - Gangster, Gangster and LL Cool J - BAD both for $3.00 from a kid at school.

[NightTrainLayne]

Good Lord, I must be getting old. The ones above were high school/college years.

The first tape (yes cassette tape) I purchased myself was Guns-N-Roses, Welcome to the Jungle.

I was worried how to pull it off at Gibson's (early small-town precursor to Wal-Mart) because it had a parental advisory for explicit lyrics, and I was only 13-14 or so, but luckily the clerk didn't pay too much attention to it and I was on my way. Still one of my favorite albums.

[BroncoJoe]

As far as I can remember, it was The Rubberband Man by The Spinners. 1975, I think.

A 45 (that's a small vinyl record for you young folks...)

[claymore]

Girls, Girls, Girls, - Motley Crue, or Master of Puppets-Metallica in 1987

[MOtorboat]

I don't remember what my first tape was...I know that me and a friend of mine wore out Warren G's - Regulators tape...honestly, I'm not sure I bought any tapes...I listened to my parents stuff, John Denver mostly.

I think Coolio's - Gangsta's Paradise was my first CD....

[Broncospsycho77]

First that I listened to was probably Jimmy Buffet or something that my parents owned...

First bought, I really don't know. Probably AC/DC's Razor's Edge. Good album.

[cpr940]

The Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra. On vinyl.

I was.....8? I think.


And while that ranks among one of his most poppy, and disliked efforts, I ended up likeing a doo-wop influenced tune called "Give It Up" better than the big hit I bought it for.

I discovered his back catalog when I was in the 7th grade. My favorite being "Your Saving Grace".

[Bronco9798]

Wild Cherry - "Play that funky music white boy album." I was probably 12 or 13. Then I bought an album from a group I think was called "Sweet". They had a big song called, Ballroom Blitz." I think those were in the same time era.

From there it was all 70's and 80's metal.

I once had an eight-track of the village people. My dad looked at me funny when I asked him for it...it wasn't until years later that I knew why.

First Casette was Kool Mo Dee's Wild Wild West. I believe I was 11. First CD was De La Soul's Buhloon Mindstate

[frauschieze]

The very first two tapes I ever owned were given to me on Christmas with my super cool boombox. They were the Beach Boys Greatest Hits and Christmas with the California Raisins.

I am pretty sure the first tape I actually bought myself was probably Paula Abdul.

My taste in music has changed immensely since then. :laugh:

[powderaddict]

My first Cassette I bought with my own money was MC Hammer’s “Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em” :laugh: I was in 6th grade.

The first CD I ever bought was The KLF’s “The White Room”. I still have it and listen to it once in awhile. I think I was in 8th grade.
