I ordered from some CD service after getting a CD player for my birthday. My first crop of CDs were:

Ace of Base: The Sign
Shaq Diesel
The Beavis and Butthead Experience
The soundtrack to Dumb & Dumber

All top notch choices
 
Ok, I would like to show my 2nd bought album first:

But the painful truth about the first LP that I bought myself is this:

Hell, I was just 8 or 9 years old...
 
This is the earliest I remember, at least, when I was 13:

Thought "Crash" was such a sick song. I didn't expect the album to be electronic but I still listened to it a lot. After a while my mom threw it out because she found out Mephisto was a demon (she was fine with Mephisto shoes though I guess)

It was such a bitch to try and find the album again. I managed to uh, "get a hold of it" again a few years back but the ripping quality was horrible. If it's on iTunes now I'll shit myself, it wasn't last I checked.
 
The first music album I bought was Reflection Eternal's Train of Thought. The album was released back in 2000, but I didn't pick it up until my senior year of high school (2008). I use to listen to a lot of Punk Rock, but after picking up Train of Thought, I completely stopped listening to other genres of music. To this day, I still primarily listen to Hip-Hop, but I switch it up from time to time with R&B and that Electronic stuff.

I'm pumped there are a few others that bought Big Willie Style as their first. :lol

Just The Two of us was my favorite song when I was 8 so I had to get a cassette. Damn.

I like the cut of your gib, sir.

For me:

I'd noticed that they'd written a bunch of songs that I'd liked on the radio up til that point, but was unfamiliar with the band itself. Thus the start of a long and glorious fanship of my second favorite band of all time.

Also from 77 or early '78, I had a collection of movie themes. Had Star Wars, Rollercoaster, and the Exorcist II that I can remember.

Can't remember exactly which was first...
 
Queen. Greatest Hits.

And no, I'm not that old - 20, in fact. I just remember being obsessed with them when I was young for some reason...

Bought this, loved it, etc. Now the only song I like from it is Tearin Up My Heart, and no I'm not embarrassed to say that I know the whole song 14 years later lol.

that album was amazing + Lennox Lewis cameo cant lose.
 
This thread is such a hilarious nostalgia trip considering most of the albums being posted are some of the most mainstream things from the 90's. It really shows how everyone got into music through a lot of the same sources and I'd be interested to find out how much people have diverged from what they listened to when they were ten years old.

The first disc I recall purchasing with my own cash was Dookie, followed closely by Smash from the Offspring. I don't really love listening to either band today and if my current self was telling my eight-year old self what to listen to in 1994 it would have probably been the Smashing Pumpkins and Sunny Day Real Estate because Siamese Dream and Diary are still awesome.
 
Marilyn Manson - Portrait of an American Family

I was actually indifferent to/actively disliked music up until that point. The only song I recall liking before Marilyn Manson was Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

I only stumbled across MM because a friend in 9th grade mentioned them to me and I replied with "They're kinda weird" or something along those lines. Then I went home and tried to find some songs to listen to (crappy .rm!) and thought they were awesome.

Blink 182 - Enema of the State

We got cable television, and I saw their videos on MTV. My mom made me buy the censored version, but I ended up snatching the PA version from a store and swapping the discs. Looking back, it's decent pop-rock, but my tastes have come a long way. But I was 13 so of course I thought they were cool.
