I think I actually paid for this....one cent or something....

i remember my momz paying me to wash all the windows around the house...i used the money to buy a stereo and cd's...one was some radio rock hit at the time (hootie maybe? i don't quite remember)...the other was what i thought was a R.E.M. greatest hits album...turned out it was some guy playing acoustic instrumentals

CD:





On the same day, at age 13! I don't remember the records, or mp3s, but I absolutely remember buying those two CDs.

My first record was a 45 of a kids' song called "Kitty Katoo Took a Canoe" -- I can't find anything online about the song but I can remember almost every word. I was probably 3 or 4.

My first cassette was "Fore" by Huey Lewis and the News (Huey was also my first concert, circa 1988 or so). I was about 5.

I didn't get a CD player until well into the mid-'90's, but I remember getting a portable RCA and REM's "Monster" on the same day. The next day I walked from school to Wal-Mart and bought what at age 12 I didn't realize was a censored version of "In Utero."

I'm pretty sure the first time I paid for mp3s was a few years ago -- a few rare 7" tracks from Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's website.

First CD was Third Eye Blind's self-titled, sometime in 1997.

I can also remember the last CD I bought with the intention of listening to it: Nine Inch Nails' "Year Zero," in 2007. Solid decade of CD buying! I went a solid 3-4 years of no CDs after that, and in the past 2-3 years, I've bought a few CDs to contribute to charity, but never listened to them.

LPs are harder to figure out. It might have been Magnolia Electric Co.'s "Josephine," which I bought at the one and only show of theirs that I went to. Got it at the merch table from bassist Pete Schreiner. Now I've got 550+ in my collection, waaaay more than I had CDs.

First cassette was the audiobook version of Fantastic Mr Fox.

First CD was Weird Al, but I don't remember which album.

i don't know how you guys remember this stuff

I write everything down. I have hundreds of journals.

The first cassette I remember buying for myself, may not be the first I owned, but the first I specifically went to the store for, was Aerosmith's Get A Grip.

For a CD it was Dookie.

my first album was this and I still have it:



my first discs in the 80s was either david bowie or Zep 1

Don't completely remember, but High 'N Dry was one of my first cassettes too, as was this:



I've never owned vinyl. My sister is 6 years older than I am and she had a great record collection in the early 80s. Listened to a lot of Adam and The Ants, The Who, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and of course, REO Speedwagon records.

First store-bought vinyl was probably some kids music or something from the budget bin.

First store-bought cassette was "Then & Now...The Best Of The Monkees".

First store-bought CD was Aerosmith's "Pump".

First MP3 purchase was the first Frank Zappa Birthday Bundle on iTunes.

First bootleg purchase was Nirvana "Seattle Sound, Sounds Great" on CD.

didn't buy it, but it was "mine".
