OT: First Album You Ever Bought With Your Own Money
So, what was your first album you ever bought with cash you earned all by yourself? Mine was Led Zeppelin's first album. I bought it at a local record store when I was 15 years old and had my first job. My dad always talked about how great they were, so I found out myself. As it turns out, my dad was right, and I love to get the led out to this day.
My answer to this has been the same since the 70's:
"Sure I do ... afterward."

So you must be really sad about the big changes there, huh?

these days the changes I'm saddest about have nothing to do with the magazine.

ohhh that cover...
I bought the 45 of this too when the Lions were using it that year. What was that? 1981? 82?
See question #4.

I remember the big 4-0 start that year and We Will Rock You anthem being played around town. Quite a buzz - Billy Sims rookie year.
I seem to remember the Lions using "Another One Bites the Dust" one year after they won the first few games of the season? You just knew, the Lions being the Lions, that a collapse was inevitable, and sure enough -- another Lions season bit the dust.

Rush was my first concert. January 1978 IMA Auditorium in Flint, Farewell to Kings tour. They played the whole fucking 2112 album. Since it was the first time I was ever high too, this worked out nicely.
Still listening to that CD to this day.

. Tragedy still pumps me up, sad to say.
I remember hearing "Tom Sawyer" on the car radio and thinking I had to buy that song. When we got home, I went through the "buy 10 cassettes for a $1" mailer and found the only Rush album they had. I figured that had to be the one, but they didn't list the songs on the album. But, come on, if you are going to sell one Rush album, doesn't it have to be the one with Tom Sawyer on it? At least that's how 14 year old me thought. So I convinced my sister and dad to sign up for the thing, and I got them to allow me to "buy" Grace Under Pressure for a dime, or whatever. I got the cassette, listened to it all the way through, and I was shocked to find out it didn't contain "Tom Sawyer." I mean, even upon getting the cassette and NOT seeing "Tom Sawyer" written on the contents, I still thought that, well, maybe that isn't the name of the song. Caveat Emptor, my friends.
The first 45 I owned was a hand-me-down from my aunt of a couple Beatles songs: Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever. That's still the only Beatles stuff I've ever owned. What can I say, I'm not a fan.
Same thing, I heard it on the radio. I was lucky enough to live very close to a record store though (what's a record store Grandpa?). I was able to look through the Rush albums and find it.
After that, I bought their self-titled debut album thinking, this album HAS TO include Tom Sawyer. Nope, again. Finally I learned my lesson and started checking the song list. I was such a naive shopper.
I think the first non-Rush album I bought was "Out of the Cellar." RATT and roll! Hey, don't judge me, Round and Round was a rockin' tune.
I got sent to the office for having my Shout at the Devil LP at school. Already had a bit of a reputation gained by playing AC/DC's Big Balls during a rain day lunch in the 3rd grade.
don't feel bad, Ratt kicked some ass...

The original, pre-Michael McDonald rendition of the Doobie Brothers. This album still plays great today from first to last song:

If we're including compilation albums, then I bought The Beatles 20 Greatest Hits on cassette when I was in middle school. If we're talking about real albums, then I bought With The Beatles on cassette shortly thereafter. Buying With The Beatles was interesting, because my father had only ever listened to The Beatles' American LPs (which, incidentally, he GAVE AWAY before I was born), so it was a new experience for the both of us.
Too Short's Get in Where you fit in.... 11 year olds should not have that record
I still have Life Is...Too Short in my glove compartment.
I just remember listening to it exactly one time in my house for about 30 seconds .... only played it at friend's houses after that
I can probably guess why. Lol.
