The very first album I was so proud to buy was 'Ace of Base' on tape! :shocked: (Yes, I'm that old!)
-
I think the first one I ever got was either Origin of Symmetry by Muse or Love Metal by HIM. Prior to getting my own CDs, I just borrowed my dad's jams (sooo much RHCP) - oh, the nostalgia!
-
My First album was a Highschool Musical 2 album, yeah... Got it because my sister ran over my head which ended in me having to get stitches so I got a Highschool Musical 2 album, as I loved the series at the time, yeah... We took it back the next day.
But the first one I bought with my own money is Mlp: a Pony Kind of Christmas
-
Umm...the first I received due to winning it, was Shania Twain's The Woman in Me. I can't really remember the first I bought for myself, maybe Britney Spears Baby One More Time? I may have received it as a gift as I think my first albums were. I specifically remember buying LFO, so perhaps that one.
-
My first was either Madonna's True Blue or Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet...and yes, they were records :lol:
-
The first CD I ever bought myself was Whigfeild, (the girl who sang that song 'Saturday Night')...Back when you had to buy the whole CD for that one hit song, and hoped you at least liked a few of the others on it! :P
-
The first CD I bought was in 1993 Die Ärzte - Die Bestie in Menschengestalt followed by Guns n Roses - Use your Illusion II. This is still one of my all time favorite albums.
I was 12 at that time.
-
Guns N Rose's Appitite For Destrution
-
That I bought with my own cash? I think it was Nirvana Unplugged.
-
Lili & Susie - the Collection
-
Mine was both Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion CDs (I got them at the same time). I'd been given one of their other albums by a relative and found I really liked the band. I have all their CDs now and still play them all the time because I have an ancient computer that can't handle this thing called "YouTube"
-
The first tape my family bought specifically because I wanted it was It Won't Be The Last by Billy Ray Cyrus. The first CD I bought with my own money was A Place In The World by Mary Chapin Carpenter.
-
My first tape was "Positif" from Jean Jacques Goldman (french singer)
First CD album: "Out of time" from REM.
First soundtrack CD: "Twin Peaks" from Angelo Badalamenti.
-
The first full album I remember getting was The Rugrats Movie soundtrack on tape. I was in elementary school and had just gotten a Walkman for Christmas. :lol: It's really funny to think how quickly listening to music evolved since the mid-90s, because I know not too long after I got a CD player, then an MP3 player, then an IPod (mini and then 1st gen Touch), and now I just use my phone. Crazy! Aaaanyway...
The first CD I ever bought with my own money was "Room On Fire" by The Strokes. Still a favorite.
-
So many Guns n Roses girls!!! Do you still like them?
-
The very first album I was so proud to buy was 'Ace of Base' on tape! :shocked: (Yes, I'm that old!)
Really? Me too!! I loved that tape, listened to it all the time.
The first CD I bought was the German soundtrack of "The Lion King" (the movie - this was many years before the musical).
-

They're my favourite band ever (listening to them as I write this) and I'm sure I've mentioned the fact that I'm writing a story in some of my posts on here, well that story's about them (and me and some other stuff...). In fact, the folder I've got it in acts as a good background for pony photos! It's outgrowing any space I have to keep it in...
I'm not going to post a picture of said folder because from past experience people freak out at it (!!!)
Oh and probably my username on here answers your question as well.
Sorry for going a bit off topic.
-
Me, with my own money?
Hanson. On Cassette.
I remember Ace of Base being one of my favourite bands as a kid though I was told I was enamored with New kids ont he Block.
-
I don't remember. x.x
-
Ace of Base was popular here when I was in 7th or 8th grade.
-
The first CD I owned (I don't think I bought it, my parents had to have, this was like in the mid 90s, when I wasn't even 10 yet) was No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom. Don't Speak was like my favorite song back then.
-
I don't know if I've actually bought a CD with my own money. I remember my brother got me a Guess Who CD when I was pretty young, and my parents got me Beatles CDs. I think the first one i picked out myself was the Black Parade.

I owned that tape, too. :)
Though I *think* my first purchase may have been the Batman Forever soundtrack.
-
I've been a Jim Steinman fan since I was 12 and stealing my parents' Meat Loaf & Friends CD :)
The first CD I ever bought with my own money was Bat out of Hell. I hadn't even discovered Amazon then, I had to order it from WH Smith's. The first record I ever bought was Meat Loaf's Bad Attitude (found in a second hand record shop, and bought about 6 months before I actually got a record player!).

Such a great album! "Don't Speak" is still one of my favorite songs.
-
It was either a cassette tape of The Spice Girls first album or a cassette tape of LeAnn Rimes' first album I can't remember.
-
Did anyone else use one of those 12 cds for 1 cent cd clubs? My aunt and I did that two or three times each.
-
I can't remember :blush:
It might have been something by either the Pet Shop Boys, Enya, Kylie or Bananarama. I recall having some vinyl records and cassettes.
Love pkw xxx
-
First cassette tape I bought myself was - Julian Lennon: The Secret Value of Daydreaming I think I was about 9 or ten at the time and I wore the tape out and later got the CD at a used cd store. The first CD I bought was Chicago's Greatest Hits I believe but I might be wrong on that, I got a cd player for my birthday and a lot of cds joined my collection in the week or so that followed thanks to allowance and birthday money. xD

OMG I got so much music from the Columbia House one! I kinda miss those days now that I think about it.
-
Ace of Base- The Sign on cassette for me too! I got it at Turn It Up! Records, in the basement of Thornes Market in Northampton MA in 1993. Played that tape 'til it broke, probably drove my parents insane >_<
-
Mine was "A Little Bit Longer" by the Jonas Brothers when I was in Middle School.
One of my friends was completely obsessed with them to the point where it was annoying, so I avoided them at the peak of their popularity just because I was so sick of hearing her go on and on and on about them that I figured I would hate the music and refused to listen to them no matter how much she wanted me to. In retrospect that was a bit petty of me but hey I was in like 6th grade haha. Anyway, once she moved onto her next obsession (Justin Beiber) I finally listened to the Jonas Brothers and was like "Oh geez, I actually really like this." Naturally by the time I realized this all of my friends who used to like them had moved on were like "ew Jonas Brothers" and hadn't been into them for like a year so I was secretly obsessed with them and didn't tell anyone I still remember frantically shoving all the CDs into the glove box of my mom's car whenever we had to give one of my friends a ride home so no one would know my secret :P It wasn't so much that I thought my friends would tease me, it was more that I was so stubborn about NOT listening to them that I didn't know how to explain that I liked them after all after being such a pain about it lol.
I saw them in concert and it was my first concert, too. A really good concert, too! I wish I could have seen them more than once when they were together still.
I'm not completely obsessed with them like I once was, but I still really enjoy them, plus its a nice little nostalgia trip to my middle school days when I listen to them. ^.^
-
Mirrorball by Sarah McLaughlin sometime around 1999-2000? I think everyone in my age group had that one. Couldnt tell you where that cd is now though. :)
-
xD my uncle bought me a cassette walkman for my birthday, it was basically the best gift ever, with my other birthday money, I went out and bought a cassette tape of the spice girls rofl. This was sorta late tape generation? Like I think CD's were already out but they were not widely accepted yet.
I was in 5th grade and enjoying the limited but extended freedoms i was being allowed, aka I could ride my bike around town in a small area lol, so I had that walkman glued to my hip blasting spice girls non stop. I dont even think I bought any other cassettes. When I got sick of pop music I probably just rummaged around in my dads massive collection, which consisted of mainly 80's hair bands. xD
It would probably be safe to guess that the first CD I ever bought was probably BackstreetBoys rofl.
-
Ah Loa- I can tell by that Album you are a few years younger than me, haha
But a fun question- I was just discussing this with my wife (her firsts were actual vinyls- haha)
My first album was REM Out of Time- on a tape cassette-
My second was Nirvana's Nevermind...
I had a Sony Walkman at some point- I remember the thing sucked up so many batteries it would barely get through an hour and a half or so before going dead. My dad got me some rechargeables :P

I loved REM. I also owned Out of Time on cassette, but I think that was a gift. Later, I think I bought Monster on CD. :)
I had a Sony cassette walkman from the time I was six; it was a gift for my first communion. Didn't get my own CD player until I was 14, though.
-
The Lion King soundtrack when I was 6. The height of musical perfection, right there. :P
-
New Kids on the Block - step by step!
-
Also ace of base but on cd! My poor dad wanted to kill me so he took me back to the music place and got me nirvana and NIN which started a new love of music lol!
-
I saw them in concert and it was my first concert, too. A really good concert, too! I wish I could have seen them more than once when they were together still.
Jonas Brothers was my first concert as well! I used to like them, haven't listened in a few years.
-
Aqua "Aquarium" (Don't judge me!) Barbie girl is so campy, but the rest of the album is really good Euro-pop!

Love this. Especially 'Dr. Jones' and 'My Oh My'. :D
-
'I Can't Dance' by Genesis. My dad had the album and I loved listening to it, so I bought my own cassette with my allowance. :)
-
Cranberries, or Weird AL.... still enjoy them both though Weird AL is a geeky guilty pleasure ;)
-
I really wish I could remember but I have no clue! Most of my music was hand me downs from my big sister; I couldn't tell you the first I spent my own money on. Prob something nerdy like Sha Na Na but I wouldn't deny *NSYNC.
-
Interesting question!
For me it would be the Pokemon 2 B A Master album on cassette when I was probably 9 or 10! And I still have it floating around somewhere. Still love listening to the songs (I found it on CD much later at a yard sale so it did eventually make it onto my ipod {and yes I still use an ipod sometimes lol.}]
As for a "real" album, I sadly don't know for sure. It's possible it was A Hangover You Don't Deserve by Bowling for Soup. If not that, then probably a Michael Jackson album as I got really into him in the mid 2000's and bought most of his albums on CD around that time (I would have been between 14 and 16 years old.)
As an aside it kinda makes my heart smile seeing people mention Ace of Base - I had a friend when I was little who was a few years older than me and would often play her AoB CD when I went to her house. I always get kinda nostalgic when I hear them. Maybe that was the first album she bought herself? =O
-
Lili and Susie "Anytime" and Madonna "Like a prayer" Cassette tapes in the 80´s.
-
I honestly don't know. When I was a child I listened to Creedence, Boudewijn de Groot, The Cranberries, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Supertramp. But when I started to buy singles myself (I didn't get enough allowance to buy albums) I also listened to top 40 crap (not anymore :P ). So I'm really not sure!
Cranberries
:D
My husband's first album was also from The Cranberries. ^.^

I totally had that CD as a teenager, as well. XD

The first music I remember purchasing with my own money was Move It Like This by Baha Men. (Not the album with Who Let The Dogs Out) I would have been 11 or 12 at the time. My dad looked at me all surprised because it was so out nowhere. It didn't match his music tastes for sure, and all the CDs I did have at that point were Disney and Pokémon. I think I got it because I had seen the music video somewhere and enjoyed it. Come to think of it Baha Men were strangely present in my youth. I could have sworn that one day my elementary school music class was visited by one of the members. And when I went on to the Bahamas we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe where the walls were plastered with Baha Men memorabilia, which excited me.
I haven't listened to any of their other albums. I haven't actually listened to any of their songs for probably over a decade. I'm not sure I would still enjoy it. But I did get my money's worth because I remember playing it over and over on one particular family vacation.
-
I don't know. The first one I remember buying was "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper (on cassette tape) as a kid in the '80s.
-
I honestly can't remember, even though I'm so much younger than many of you... I didn't start buying CDs/music until the 2000s. Before that, I made some mix tapes by recording my favourite pieces when they were on the radio. :D
For some reason, the only album I very distinctly remember getting is 'Century Child' by Nightwish... (though it was Dad who bought it for me, lol!). I'd recently got into metal music. I must've had some albums before that but for some reason I feel like the that's the album that started my music collection.
-
The first music I bought with my own money was the single "Oblivion" by Terrorvision. Still have it :D It was one of the first CD singles released in the UK. Prior to that it was stuff my family thought I should be into, like Michael Jackson and Belinda Carlisle. Seeing as my favourite bands include Slipknot and Godsmack, they got that a little bit wrong :D
-
The Lion King soundtrack when I was 6. The height of musical perfection, right there. :P
Definitely I listened to this tape all the time... But My parents brought it for me.... the first CD I Brought was Backstreet Boys because Most of my music was given to me as a B day Gift or Christmas Gift.
-
LOL. My first LP was Wham - Make it Big :D
-
Fine Young Cannibals, The Raw and the Cooked. Yes, it was on cassette tape.
-
Cyndi Lauper, Madonna and George Michael.
-
Uhhh, I'll go with first iTunes purchase because it's what I remember and that was the cover of Under Pressure done by My Chemical Romance and The Used.
-
I bought a new kids on block cassette tape with my birthday money at age 8
-
I don't remember what the first music I bought was. I was given a lot of music stuff growing up, but I think the first one I actively asked for and got was Bon Jovi's Crossroad album on cassette (which I played so much it got chewed up and so it later got replaced by a CD). As a kid I mostly listened to the music that my parents did, so it was a mix of folk and old rock/pop music and Dad's classical stuff. I didn't discover pop/rock etc for myself until 1994, when I saw Top of the Pops on TV. I was 12. I remember it so clearly - Wet Wet Wet were no. 1 with Love is All Around. And Bon Jovi must have been on it as well, given my interest. Always was in the chart a lot then.
I do remember buying some records at a second hand sale, either at my sister's primary school fete or my Dad's school fete, one or the other. That would have been around age 12 as well. One of them was Take That's Pray (I'm that old, too)...
-
I thiiiink the first CDs I got with my own money were a couple Evanescence albums (Fallen and The Open Door)... if there was something before those I can't remember. ^^;
-
My first CD I bought was a John Denver one; to go with my JD vinyl collection. I'd been gifted my mom's collection. So heavy on JD,CCR,Alabama.
-
If that Wet Wet Wet song is the one I *think* it is, that definitely brings back a memory. My Dad heard a song by them, rushed out to buy the tape, and that was the only song on it that he liked. One of the pluses of modern music distribution for sure--I can try albums before I buy them.
-
It was around 1992 and it was a tape from Record Town. I think it was Nitty Gritty Dirt Band or an Alabama tape. I like my classic country, although it wasnt really classic back then. I used money from my baby sitting jobs to buy new tapes every 2 weeks.
-
If I remember correctly, the first CD I ever bought with my own money was Muse's Origin of Symmetry. I don't really like Muse anymore, especially with the new direction they took right around The Resistance, but I still have a soft spot for that album.

Oh man, Fallen was the first album I ever received as a present. I think I was...about 11? Just entering middle school, with all the angst that entails. Thinking about how much I loved those songs embarrasses me a little now.
-
A Paula Abdul, Forever Your Girl casette tape. I listened to that thing for over a decade and made my own dance routines to half the songs that were on it.

Oh, I was definitely a Paula Abdul fan for awhile. Had both Forever Your Girl and Spellbound on cassette tape, but I got them both as gifts. Own them on cd now. :)

I don't know what it was about her, but I loved her when I was younger! I still know the words to those songs, and they're definitely favourites of mine when we go to karaoke with friends. Especially Opposites Attract! I loved the music video for that one. :)
-
Hmmm I think it was Billy Joel's Greatest Hits on cassette (first "Adult" cassette). I had disney soundtracks and other cassettes prior but that was my first "real" music... And yes... while everyone got boy band music I got Billy Joel XD
