That's a great question! The first album I ever bought was Harmony by Three Dog Night. The SECOND album I bought was Band on the Run by McCartney/Wings! How's that for coincidence, Saberg? We must be about the same age, I turned 54 last month. Reply #1. Apr 05 15, 5:47 PM |

REALLY surprised NO ONE else has responded to this thread! Probably because few even remember WHAT an album (vinyl) is. Or most likely no one else really cares. THAT is a pity. Reply #2. Apr 11 15, 8:06 PM |

Thank you, Shiningstar, you've somewhat restored my faith in mankind! That's one heckuva album to have as your first purchase. It's a classic recording that STILL sounds fresh today and has NO weak cuts. Reply #4. Apr 11 15, 8:17 PM |

WOW, I used atrocious English on my previous message! It SHOULD read one heckuva AN album! Or, of course, one heck of an album. Either way, Led Zeppelin IV does STILL rock!! Reply #5. Apr 11 15, 8:53 PM |

The THIRD album I ever bought was Greatest Hits by Elton John. (I think) The fourth album was probably either 1962-1966 or 1967-1970 by The Beatles. Reply #6. Apr 12 15, 2:29 PM |

You got a few years on me, rockinsteve, (less than a decade) but I am among the few that remember, and loved vinyl! I really don't remember the first album I ever bought, but it would be in this bunch: Black Sabbath,(Sabotage, Paranoid, vol.4,) Pink Floyd Animals, Alice Cooper Greatest Hits, to name a few. I was on the tail end of vinyl, had loads of cassette tapes,(literally hundreds) but my older brother had a HUGE collection of records, probably 400+. Lots of specials, limited editions, etc. Reply #7. Apr 12 15, 2:56 PM |

I was never really into classic rock like the rest of you, but I loved folk music when I was a teen in the 70s. So the first album I ever bought was probably one by Peter, Paul and Mary. If not that, it would have been a Broadway show cast album. I had a big collection of original cast albums. Reply #9. Apr 12 15, 6:56 PM |

I'm 57 rockinsteve, my second LP was Rod Stewart's "Never A Dull Moment" with "You Wear It Well" and "Angel" and my last 45 was by Tears for Fears, "Sowing the Seeds of Love" back in the 80s. I was a DJ in '88 and spun those records! Reply #10. Apr 12 15, 8:47 PM |

Wow, that's quite a second album! It's probably the last great album Rod Stewart did. His first four solo albums, through Never A Dull Moment, are among the best four albums in a row ever released by any singer or group. Reply #11. Apr 12 15, 9:11 PM |

You're QUITE welcome, Shiningstar! Have you heard the whole album, Every Picture Tells A Story by Rod Stewart? This was his album just before Never A Dull Moment. It features "Maggie May" and overall I think it's even BETTER than "Dull Moment"! Reply #13. Apr 12 15, 10:17 PM |

'Can the Can' by Suzi Quatro, followed soon after by 'Living in the 70s' by Skyhooks. Reply #14. Apr 12 15, 10:46 PM |

This is taking me back a good many years. But one day my husband and I were walking through a shopping centre and we heard this wonderful music - instrumental - being played on the thing that pipes music throughout. We immediately made enquiries at a music store there and bought the album. It was The Shadows Greatest Hits. Then believe it or not we went out and bought a stereo to play it on. We did not own one up to then. That is a case of putting the cart before the horse....LOL. I still have that album and I treasure it and incidentally the stereo as well. Reply #16.

With my own money--- me and my brother cobbled together money for Fiddler on the Roof when I was like 8 or 9. I became a teenage in the Romantic movement so I joined a record club and my first 6 albums were from Culture Club, Billy Idol, David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Eurythmics and Styx (okay I know that wasn't a Romantic type song). I followed it up my collecting almost the entire Bowie catalog. Reply #20. May 08 15, 8:07 PM |
