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.

Metallica - The Black Album
they're from Ohio, spudboy?
But since you're confessing, I'll fess up too: I'm also a 'Devo-tee' and have these in my collection:
and, like you, this:
.
But I didn't stop there, as a couple years ago, I renewed my 'Devo-tion' and bought their newest on CD (released in 2010):
(oops, double post. My duty now for the future is to post this:
Freedom of choice (the song) kicks major ass.
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
There was a poem
About a dog
Who found two bones
He picked at one
He licked the other
He went in circles
He dropped dead
Dozen Berries, Chuck Berry circa 1964.
I liberated that one and Van Halen's Fair Warning from my parents collection. Not sure why they even had them.
Kiss Alive II
American Woman
Get Rich Or Die Tryin' - 50 Cent.
Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil. Wore that thing out.

When I was young my dad was a rocker so the first tapes I had were his old aerosmith ones...
the first album I bought with my own money was Public Enemy's 'Fear of a Black Planet'.
Im a white dude from a white land (downriver) but I had met some cool kids from Saginaw at a YMCA camp and they opened my mind to hip hop.
One of the most poignant moments of my life, or at least formative, was asking my mother who Farrakhan was. She just looked at me like 'wtf' and then told me to go to the library. She took me, and I learned all about the nation of islam. lol.
fortunately I was never white dude with dreads... and the next hip hop album I got was NWA followed by a love ICE CUBE...

ps. I'm going to pretend I wasn't all 2 legit 2 quit or that I was all about Monie in the Middle.
I grew up in Saginaw and probably listened to FBP at least 100 times...while painting D&D miniatures in my parents' basement.
I must have been an interesting sight when I was about 13 years old.

AC/DC: Back in Black
Yeezus
That's the most recent album that I've bought.
so many on here are going to do this;
But since you asked, it was a Canadian 'import".
I installed my own 8-track player in my '73 Olds Omega in the summer of '74. I was even clever enough to install a "slide mount" so that I wouldn't leave it in the car when I didn't want it to be visible to anyone looking to steal it. I remember playing that 8-track to death when I left for college that August; I soon invested in a slew of other 8-track tapes.
The way-back machine just took me back to GR. I listened to that show every Sunday night on LAV-FM.
