Do you remember the first record, CD, Cassette Tape, 8-Track, or audio file you purchased or received as a gift?
This is inspired by oLahav: in the discussion on favorite albums he wrote: “Demon Days, the Gorillaz- one of the first albums I’ve ever bought. It’s sort of a concept album, and it has some surprisingly good songs even if you’re not a rap/hip hop fan.”
I remember dancing in the back yard to Cyndi Lauper and Madonna, but the first record (a 45 single) I purchased was “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. The first CD’s I bought with my own money were Otis Redding “The Dock of the Bay” and John Lennon’s Imagine. (I bought them at the same time. :)
What about you?

I also grew up listening to my parents music collection (a scary thought at first, but looking back now I see they didn’t have the worst taste). The highlights included some Beatles, Billy Joel, John Lennon’s Imagine, Traveling Wilbury’s, and Eric Clapton’s solo stuff.
The first cassette tape that I bought was “Dookie” by Green Day a classic album and still Green Day’s best in my opinion. First CD I ever bought was the “Blue Album” by Weezer and probably qualifies as my “first album adored”.
