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.
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...)

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....
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".
What shall we do with all this useless beauty?
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.
