First CD you ever bought

Post Reply New Topic

I just listened to that album recently. It's amazing.

I cant remember the first cd I bought myself, but my first one, which was a Christmas present when I was 16 or 17, was Led Zeppelin IV. That was in the late 90's and I was still buying cassettes into the 2000's. I started buying cds after I discovered the local independent record store, which sold used cds, and I still go there. I still collect music in all formats, but I think vinyl sounds the best.

sure wish i'd seen this thread back in the day, as it were. anyways, my first (all in the 70s 'cept for the first CD) LP record was pink Floyd, "dark side of the moon" and my first 45 rpm record was "convoy" (C.W. McCall). first cassette I bought was the soundtrack to the movie "1941." still have it someplace. it still plays but with drop-outs. first open reel tape I bought was "jungle drums" (Morton Gould and orchestra) and "mad dogs and Englishmen" (the soundtrack to the movie/concert recording). the first quad 8 track I got was "the 6 wives of henry VIII" (rick wakeman). the first CD I got, in late 1982 when they first came out, was "the digital domain" which was a sonic demonstration of the new format. still have it.

Led Zeppelin IV

it was a soundtrack from pokemon the first movie

the first music video I got was "fantasia" [walt Disney], then "the planets" [isao tomita's version of the old Gustav Holst warhorse].

First album I bought: Savage Garden - Savage Garden
First single I bought: Mr. President - Coco Jamboo

the first music DVD i got was a musical compilation off of the ed sullivan show.

King Diamond "Them"

Best $8.99 I have ever spent!! !! !

first CD single [3"] I got [in the 80s] was a rhino mini-comp of mitch ryder & the Detroit wheels.

I still don't get how some folk can feel all LPs sound better to them than CDs their hearing mechanism must be getting different input than mine do.

First music cd I bought was HIM's album 'Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666'
First video cd I bought was Tom and Jerry.

^^^ "vol. 666" sounds kinda diabolical, no?

Yep, I still love that album

I believe the first CD I ever purchased with my own money was Slipknot's self-titled album.

Probably White Zombie's album Astro Creep. Marilyn Manson's Portrait Of An American Family was a close follow-up, along with the first of the two Nativity In Black tribute to Black Sabbath albums. I still remember when Sepultura was 'too heavy' and freaked me out.
