Your first CD (not album)
« on: April 18, 2008, 01:34:37 PM »
"First album you ever bought/got as a gift" doesn't work as a topic, because for me it would be some Chipmunks or Popeye tape I listened to when I was 5.  I do have specific memories of listening to Popeye radio drama.  And then I collected tapes throughout middle school.  I think I was into the Fat Boys and G'N'R Lies before I started to imitate cool high school kids by being into/pretending to like Front 242, Jane's Addiction, Pop Will Eat Itself, and Concrete Blonde.  I actually did like all those bands, but I think I brainwashed myself into liking any old band that seemed "cool."  But I don't remember, for example, what the first tape I ever bought was.  I do remember a treasured mix tape I made that I recorded off of 106.3 in Jersey when it was actually kind of good that had such songs as "Ship of Fools" by World Party and the Butthole Surfer's version of "Hurdy Gurdy Man."  Anyway.

But I do remember the first CD I ever got.  And it was God Fodder by Ned's Atomic Dustbin, and it came with a t-shirt which was way too big but which I wore all the time.

R.E.M. - Automatic for the People.  Was a tape fiend before that.

I bought the Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique almost a year before I had a cd player. 

The first cd I bought after I got a cd player was Julee Cruise's Floating Into The Night.

 I bought this two years before I even had a cd player. I am a geek.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers, What Hits?!. I was 14 or 15. I didn't know any better. Please forgive me.

Yeah I was 11 when I bought my first one. It was 1990 and I liked to wear purple jeans.

I have that one on vinyl, Omar. Haha!

Like Chris L, I was a huge tape fiend before CDs. I think my first CD was either Sweet Oblivion by the Screaming Trees or Exile on Main Street. I bought them both around the same time.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

I know for sure it was one of the following:

Blink-182, Enema of the State
Eminem, The Slim Shady LP
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Californication
Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Questionable purchases? Sure. Still, "Doo Wop (That Thing)" = one of the best songs of the nineties. Prove me wrong!
It ain't ego, it's my love for you.
