Blood Sugar Sex Majik - Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I bought it off my older brother for ten bucks when he got sick of it.

The Cocktail soundtrack on cassette. Followed quickly by some beach boys album that came out around that time, then some Paula Abdul, MC Hammer, and the aforementioned Bryan Adams tape. The Dirty Dancing soundtrack was in there somewhere as well.

In other words, I was a girl in the late 80s/early 90s. No New Kids on the Block, though.

First CD? I think I got a columbia house membership when I was 14. I got Green Day's Dookie and a Hootie and the Blowgiraffe album out of that.

Best childhood music: Sesame Street Disco on vinyl. I have no idea where that is now, unfortunately.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Californication, on cassette (because I was cheap, and, in my youthful innocence, wanted to singlehandedly repopularise cassettes).

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Californication

Did I ever mention that I saw RHCP on the Californication tour and my seats were situated on the right side of the stage.  I didn't have a very good view of the band, but I could clearly see Rick Rubin, Chris Rock, and Christina Ricci all sitting on the side of the side of the stage just behind John Fruscante's guitars taking in the show.

Pretty cool show too, but they were better two years later on the By the Way tour, they improvised more.

Can't remember the first album I actually bought, but I know the first "real" rock record I got: Iron Maiden's Killers, from a friend for my 10th birthday. Still have that vinyl, though nowhere to play it.

man. Californication was the first record I bought entirely to impress someone else (a girl). I distinctly remember my thought process: "hm. I have enough money for one cd. And I really want this Led Zeppelin record. But... Erin would think I was cool if I bought this RHCP CD!"

I'm not sure whether I actually bought these two at the same time, but my first two album purchases for myself were Semisonic's Feeling Strangely Fine and TMBG's Severe Tire Damage, neither of which I am ashamed of. Very shortly thereafter I purchased Fastball's All the Pain Money Can Buy, which I am sort of ashamed of, actually.

i clearly remember purchashing a cassette of Genesis' abacab, but i do not recall why i chose that tape.  i don't know who paied for it.

it was several years later before i purchased another tape, in a mall, in virginia, at, possibly, a Sam Goody's.

Rush's 2112 and Led Zeppelin's "4" were both mine from the discount cassette rack.

i wish i owned a ***** who could take all my boxes of cassette tapes, and eat them, defecating a more permenant storage media containing the sounds of those tapes.

and then,
the ***** could help me build a puppy.

My first self-made music purchase was the Miami Vice soundtrack on cassette from a Gold Circle.  I didn't buy much after that until I started my adolescent rebellion and had to procure on my own the music that my dad hated.  De La Soul, 3rd Bass and Public Enemy, allz.  Those tapes were my soundtrack from age 12 to 16 or so, and then the Alt Rock took over hardcore and I signed up for Columbia House.

First album i ever bought was Hit Machine 14, which was also my ex-bf's first. It had BOTH VERSIONS of the macarena.
BOTH. You can't beat that.

Can't beat MC Hammer though. Hammer time.

First cassette I got my parents to buy me was by a Finnish rockabilly band none of you have ever heard of (Teddy & The Tigers, if you must know). In 1981 I think.

That was closely followed by Stray Cats' self-titled debut.

First cassette bought with my own money: Music From The Elder by Kiss.

First album bought: Rocket To Russia by Ramones. Either that or End of The Century by same.

First CD bought: either Welcome To my Nightmare by Alice Cooper or the Creeping Death/Jump In The Fire CD EP by Metallica.

Nothing to be shamed of there, methinks  :)
