My actual; "first" albums were hand-me-downs from my mother and father and I really don't remember which was my first. The first CD I ever owned however was Poison: Swallow This Live.

Yep. This is the kind of stuff I was raised on...I've developed taste on my own since then. Garth Brooks' No Fences. I wore this cassette out!

Once I realized that "Bohemian Rhapsody" wasn't a commercial for wine, I was hooked. Then "You're My Best Friend" was released and I was in love! Still am. Of course, I replaced the vinyl with CD years ago, but this is the original that I played and played and played when I was 12.

  Awesome. I didn't pick this one up until I was 17 or so and scouring record shops to complete my Queen vinyl collection... you're so lucky your first album wasn't and embarrassment like so many of us... not that it's a problem to be listening to crap music at the age of 12, but that you were listening so awesome music from said age... jealousy.

This is the first album I can remember actually owning. My brother got it for me for my birthday, largely because he wanted it, I think. I did like Van Halen though so I was happy. Before this it was all double sided tapes copied from my brother.

I was never much of an album buying person when I was a kid. This is one of the first albums I ever really (really) wanted, as far as I remember. I know there were kids albums and some compilation albums, but I don't even remember which ones those were.

I was six and I begged, begged, begged for my mom to buy me this album. I listened to it over and over again. I remember being really uncomfortable with "Dirty Diana" and a few of the more emotional / sexual songs on Side B. Thinking back, If I would known that the local band BLACK FLAG had released a few albums by this time I might of have asked for those, but y'know, I wasn't plugged into the "scene" back then.
