What was the first album you ever purchased?

[darkewaffle]

Bad Religion - The Process of Belief

Like, 8 years ago? lol.

 

[Spydermag68]

Moving Pictures - RUSH
90125 - Yes

The only one I listen to now is Moving Pictures.

 

[Brainonska511]

Third Eye Blind's self titled album. Still listen to it today. I believe I got it in '98 or so...

 

[GuitarDaddy]

This one in the summer of 69'

bought it mainly for the remake of "Suzie Q"
had to save up my allowance for a couple of months to get it.

 

[Analog]

Harvard Square, 1975:

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Humble Pie - Rockin the Filmore.

Thanks! I've got to add that to my Filmore collection.

 

[dennilfloss]

I was 12 in 1969.

So was I!! 😱

 

[dennilfloss]

Damn but vinyls were thick back then.

Before the oil crisis... 😡 Then they got K-tel thin.

Carol King - Tapestry, on LP. I'd originally heard it on the 8 track player in my cousin's car.

EVERYONE had that album back in the day.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

We'll forget about what we had to do to our little brown brothers. This was the album that was sending me to hell.

1964

incredible album

 

[HAL9000]

James Bond Theme's - London Symphony Orchestra.

Well, if that one's sending you to hell, I'm along for the ride. Was a damned good album.


First album? Dunno. Probably around 1960 or so. Who knows what a kid bought back then.

I do remember several Beach Boys albums....their first I definitely remember buying.



And, Magnus, if Machine Head's sending anyone to hell, this one may help you stay there:

Or if that didn't do it, this band probably would ensure it:

(Their compilation album of their greatest filth recorded live at Filmore East.....greatness like Coca Cola Douche, probably my favorite of theirs.)

 

[Tristicus]

Earl Sweatshirt - Earl

I'm just still amused/bemused by the dichotomy of blowing up little brown folks on the other side of the planet while being sentenced to hell for listening to "shudder" heavy metal. It was simply the place and time and, no one who didn't experience it could ever imagine the strangeness of the time.

Thanks for yet another to add to my Filmore collection!

No problem.....and you're right. If you weren't there, trying to explain it is useless. And the dichotomy, it exists to today. We've got good people blowing up this decade's version of our little brown people, albeit with a bit better back story attached (at least in Afghanistan), yet some still want to send some of them to hell for listening to heavy metal. Such is life.

Be forewarned about The Fugs though, in the song I mentioned, almost none of the lyrics would be considered socially acceptable, so suggest if you ever listen to it, don't do it around anyone who'd be offended by very graphic, vulgar language.
