Damn you are all CHILDREN :D:D Ever hear of Bill Haley and the Comets -- the FIRST REAL Rock n' Rollers -- these guys were B4 Elvis--- I met them in person and had their album They were in the flicks too in the mid 50's -- when Ole Warp was a baby :D

My Dad had an original issue 78 RPM of "Rock Around The Clock" that we played when I was a kid. Having no sense of the worth of it, either in it's sentimental or dollar value, it got trashed being tossed like a frisbee.

Pretty sure that's the first record released with electric guitar on it.

I think my first tape was Bon Jovi's New Jersey. First CD was GNR UYI 1.

Those were the good ole' days of being a poor early teen digging through the second hand tapes at the local used shop. Didn't take me long to realize that I could get three used tapes for the price of one new one!

I thought it was pretty cool when cassettes went clear. :lol: First CD was Van Halen - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. I got a portable Sanyo CD player when I graduated high school in '91. I thought it was pretty cool too!

That and OU812 were also in my tape collection, though I think they were a couple of the later additions.

I'll show my age. The 1st 45 I ever saw and heard was I wanna hold your hand. Still remember my facination with the orange and yellow Captial Records (think it was Capital) label in the center. My first album was a hits collection from some radio station (WRKO?). Remember such songs as Abraham, Martin and John and You've lost that Lovin Feelin.

I hear ya' Warp..... Never heard answer to bought or listened to? Was starting to learn trumpet in 3rd grade and parents just bought stereo system(pieces of furniture back then) = bought me a studio band(marching) record...heavy duty marching band stuff..lol.
Think they also picked out one by The Brothers Four...who used to kind of sanitize, with trained voices, some stuff that Bob Dylan was writing. Think my first purchased was another Brothers Four..

The first music I listened to were mixes my Dad made of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and CSN&Y.

First albums (tapes) I ever owned were gifts from my best friend in 1st grade ('86): Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In; and the Soundtrack to the Motion Picture "Cocktail".

First tape I ever bought - wow I have no idea.

Didn't get a CD player until 7th grade and the first CD I bought was Megadeth - Countdown to Destruction.

This one is gonna make you all chuckle. The 1st album I ever purchased:

The_Partridge_Family_Album.jpg



I really AM a dork!!!

Dork #2 here. I couldn't decide between the Monkees and the Beatles. Then again, I was about 10 at the time.

BUT, my first 45 was "I Love You" by the Zombies.

BUT we are off topic. The first album you remember was the thread topic. In that case, it was some of the stuff my parents listened to - Mitch Miller (man I loved that bouncing ball on the B&W TV!), Gene Autry, Bing Crosby.
