I grew up in the 80's so naturally my first album was a rock one. It was Iron Maiden from the British band Iron Maiden. I think I still have it. How about you guys and gals?
Don't tell anyone but mine was the first record by The Monkees. I was probably five or six years old at the time, played it on one of those little portable record players.
I can't remember what my first music album was, but I think it was either Paula Abdul or Poison. It was a tape, actually. All of my albums were audio stories for kids.
Man, I am really embarrassed to admit this, but my first album - which was a cassette tape, actually - was the Hanson's first release. What's even more embarrassing is that I have the digital album on my iPod now.
My very first album was "We're An American Band" by Grand Funk. Followed by "Tattoo You" by the Stones. Shortly later it was "Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden.
1976 Bachman Turner Overdrive it sounded great on my parents, old all in one stereo console at the time.
Oh man, we're going back some years here; I had just joined my first music club. I think it was The Ray Conniff Singers, a cover album.
I can't remember what my very first album was, because I got about 12 of them all at the same time when I joined Columbia House Music... Does anyone else remember them? 12 CDs for $1 and then you had to buy like 4 or 5 at "regular price" within the next 2 years... Only their "regular price" for a CD was like, $25!
Hi, This thread brings out the dinosaur in me. My first LP was a Movie Themes one from United Artists in 1962. I believe I still have it somewhere.

I remember getting cassettes in that club because there wasn't anywhere to get music otherwise where I lived.

I remember getting cassettes in that club because there wasn't anywhere to get music otherwise where I lived. That's exactly why I joined. We had a music store here for a very brief period of time but their prices were outrageous - even more so than Columbia House Music's "regular prices".
My first album? My best guess would be Elton John, but I couldn't even begin to remember which one. I'm being asked to go back way too many years for the memory banks to work correctly.
I don't remember the name of the album, but the band was Head East. Timron, I was a Columbia House member too. I still remember looking through the album jackets as I listened. I think my kids are kind of missing out now that they get their music from online.
Was your Head East album, "Flat as a Pancake?"
