    I can't completely remember, but my first album was either:
    
    Deep Purple - Made in Japan  or  the old Live REO Speedwagon
    
    I don't remember which was first, they got bought in the same general
    timeframe, sometime late in 1974 (I got a stereo for my 14th birthday
    that year)

    My first album was Aerosmith Toys In The Attic.
    
    I got REO Speedwagon shortly afterwards, I must confess.  Have we
    found the missing link, people?  The force that brings us all
    together in the name of metal?  REO Speedwagon?  My first concert
    was also REO on the Hi Infidelity tour, my second was Joe PErry
    Project.
    
    I do remember dancing around the living room to The Monkees
    Greatest Hits.  To this day I still know all the words.

    The first time I ever got any albums was for Christmas when I got
    my first stereo.  The albums I got were:
    
    Aerosmith-Live Bootleg  Still love this album.
    Kiss-Alive II
    The Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley solo albums-big dissapointment
    even then.
    Foreigner-Double Vision
    The Soundtrack to the movie FM.  Never seen or heard of the movie,
    but the soundtrack had some great tunes.
    
    First metal tape: Black Sabbath-We Sold Our Soul for Rock n' Roll
    I've gone through too many copies of that to remember.

    I think the first album I ever had was "The Monkees' Greatest Hits".
    
    The First album I ever bought was "Screaming For Vengence".
    
    I had others at the time, but Screaming was the first that I didn't
    tape off someone else.

    use it to spy on the 17 yr. old girl down the street.

    Very first album ever?  I think it was Shawn Cassidy.  matter of
    fact my first two albums were Shawn Cassidy.  Then came Donna
    Summers or something like that..
    
    First metal - AC/DC - Back in Black when I was 12.
    
    What can I say??  Shawn baby was a big hunk when I was 9.

    my first ever album was Jimmy Osmand's 'Killer Joe', but
    Queen - 'A day at the races' was my first step in the right
    direction.

413.25The Lunatic is on the grass. . . %^)NAMBE::AWILLETOon a mission unlike any otherWed Jan 04 1989 13:015
    I think it was Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" or Kiss.
    
    The Monkeys Greatest Hits was on the turntable alot, as was the
    Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".  DS/Moon was my first 8-track
    (remember those things?)

    I NEVER said Shawn was a hunk!  That was Francine.  To admit that
    would be pushing outer limit boundries to the max.  I wasn't interested
    in what men looked like when I was nine.  I was into the concept
    of the music.  Andy Gibbs satanical lyrics "Heaven's angel, Devil's
    daughter"  Gawd you guize don't think I started THAT young do you?

    I found a Black Sabbath tape(8 track) on the ditch-bank while
    walking home from school in the 7th grade I don't know which
    one it was but it had "Fairys wear boots" and "Iron man" I
    think it was bootleg cuz it just said Black Sabbath on it..
    
    This turned me on to r&r.... the first tape I bought was
    "Edgar Winter", the one w/Frankenstein(sp?).
    
    Deep Purple "Come taste the wine"
    Everything Aerosmith made, unfortunatly they were all 8track....

       Holy Cow I must be an old foggy.
    The first album I ever bought was J.Giles Full House. After listening
    to that kind of Rock&Roll I was warped for life. Right after that
    I talked my mom into buying my Joe Walsh's The Smoker You Drink
    The Player You Get. It's been a long time and a lot of LOUD music
    since then.

    As I said yesterday when I replied in the roster....
    
    My first album was Led Zepplin I , and I remember saving up for
    it for a "long time" (I think it was a couple of weeks), because
    I was 8 years old. I did some cleaning around the neighborhood.
    
    I wore the album out in about a month or two, because it was the
    only one I had. 
    
    The 'Immigrant Song' still reminds me of hot choclate and cookies..

    I remember the year (1970), but after 18 years of alcoholic and
    auditory abuse, the brain's not too good at remembering the album
    itself. Anyhow, I had a look through the collection last night,
    and it's got to be one of these:
    
    	Led Zeppelin I
    	Deep Purple In Rock
    	Black Sabbath Paranoid

    The first album I ever bought was Led Zeppelin II.  That was back
    in 1969 or 70.  I was in a boutique near Woodstock, NY (visiting
    my grandparents) -- back when boutiques were REAL -- I must've
    been around 12 years old.  All of a sudden  I hear this song start
    up on the stereo: Da, Da, Da, DaDaDa...the opening line of "Heart-
    breaker".  I just about sh*t my pants!  Hadn't ever heard anything
    so good in all my born days.  I went back and watched the album
    spinning around on the turntable...and then I saw it:  Led Zeppelin
    II!!!  I think I wore out my crappy little system with that one.
    
    A year later I took up guitar, used to try to play along with Page
    Ha!

    The first album I owned was probably "The Worst Of Jefferson Airplane"
    which was given to me along with the Carpenters, "Close To You",
    both old records of my parents.  Also Peter Nero and the soundtrack
    of "A Man And A Woman".  Good grief!
    
    Before I bought my first album, I shoplifted "Madman Across The
    Water" by Elton John, but my mother found out and made me bring
    it back.  I was only 7 years old.  Later that year I bought my first
    album, "Elton John".  
    
    That's kind of embarrassing.

    After flirting with ABBA:The Album, meandering through a bit of The
    Clash and The Jam, the musical taste-buds took a bit of hammering from
    AC/DC via "If You Want Blood You've Got It". A Pretty exciting time when 
    I think back as I used to make these huge lists in the back of my school 
    books of bands' back catalogues and what I HAD! to buy, all the bands I 
    wanted to see at Hammersmith, which band logos I'd paint on the back of 
    the denim jacket. Ahh!! The joy of discovery! Twelve years on the whole 
    thing has turned full circle; I rarely buy Metal albums anymore, in fact 
    I've added more ABBA to the collection!
