 Picked up the CD release of this non-assuming recording from the late 80's, in the late 90's, while in queue in a goddamned grocery store. I might have been about.. 13. Yes mom paid for it but I chose this thing for NO discernible reason. I had no musical preferences yet. I'm very glad i did. The album might have been popular at release, but I was immediately out of the Pop-Music scene. The fact that noone else seemed to care much for my discovery cemented the fact that everyone else's musical tastes was Wrong and Bad. 15 yrs later I still get past blasted remembering it. NO SLEEP TILL

My first cd was Killer Cuts that came packaged with Killer Instinct for SNES. I have no regrets. My first bought cd was Jamiroquai, Traveling Without Moving. I still love it. The man was before his time.

I bought two CDs when I got my first CD player in 1989, Led Zeppelin IV and Dark Side of The Moon. They even came in those stupid long boxes too. But the first record that I ever picked out for myself was Prince's 1999 (on cassette) back in 1982. I was a huge Prince fan when I was a kid, and to this day I have no idea why my mother thought it was appropriate in any way to let me listen to Prince. She even took me to see "Purple Rain" in the theater, which made me the toast of the 4th grade for like a week after the other kids found out I got to see an R rated movie with boobs in it.Leper Go-getter posted:The album might have been popular at release, but I was immediately out of the Pop-Music scene. I don't think that record ever slipped out of the music scene, it sold 9 million copies over 15 years. I can't think of one person I knew growing up that didn't think License to Ill was awesome. the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Feb 15, 2015 |

Oh man, I never owned this one myself but my dad absolutely loving loved it and played it so much that I still know just about every lyric by heart. It really is a great record. opus111 posted:also this thread is gonna make me feel old. people growing up with mp3s and stuff. Wild!!! A couple of people have posted records that I actually worked on. Now that makes a person feel old as balls. Bum the Sad posted:No regrets Nor should there be. That record was hot poo poo when it came out. I mean, if you just bought it like last year or something then you should probably feel some shame but there's nothing wrong with liking pop music when you're a kid. the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Feb 15, 2015 |

Nine inch nails, with teeth from Suncoast when it was still around. I haven't listened to it since. That was a pretty boring album compared to the rest of the disco.

Rammstein - Herzeleid. I still listen to Rammstein a bit, but that album (their first) does not have many good songs on it.

My parents raised me on classic rock, and the first proper album I was given for Christmas was Best of Bowie 1969/1974. Age 12, buying my first CD, how did I repay them for these years of great music?   I played this for 6 months straight and thought it was the best thing ever recorded....I got better, I swear.

First album: (I was 12 when "We're not gonna take it" came out. ) When I finally switched to buying CDs, I bought 10 or 20 at a time, mostly getting decent copies of stuff that I only had on cassette tape from friend's vinyl records. The first "new" CDs would be Frizzle Fry by Primus and the Mr Bungle self titled, which just shows how late I was to change over to CDs. The last CD I bought was the entire back catalogue of Gogol Bordello around 2001, I found them via audiogalaxy, but then the RIAA sued audiogalaxy into oblivion, and I swore to never give money to a record label again.

Savage Garden - their first one, self titled - pretty sure I played that non stop for about three years, every day before and after school and sometimes during when I dubbed it onto a tape and took the walk man to school, then the discman. I'm pretty sure I only pretended to like their follow up "Affirmation"   Then my little brain was loving broken by Orgy's cover of Blue Monday and I played Orgy's Candyass over and over again in a similar fashion. I enjoyed Vapor Transmission (they peaked at "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)" but their third album "Punk Statik Paranoia" was garbage that I paid top import price in Australia for. The last album I paid cash money for was Tonight: Franz Ferdinand because I'd liked their previous efforts and was rather disappointed by it. The only album I've bought digitally was "Love" by King Dude - who owns.

First CD was Dangerous in 91 And also some kind of hard rock compilation named "Metal Machine" whose most shredding title was Winds of change by Scorpions, needless to tell 11 year old me was kind of disappointed.

So how many of these things still actually play all the way through? My 1st was ? Ry Cooders "Paris, Texas" ...hasn't played properly since the turn of the century. CDs as a platform are almost as bad as cassettes, longevity-wise. The industry deserved to be hosed into the ground by

First two albums I ever owned were on cassette that I bought with my own allowance money, and those were Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill, and Michael Jackson - BAD back in 1987. However, the very first piece of music I could call my own was a cassingle of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" in 1986.  Yep, 7 year old me had a cassingle with a song about dicks and loving. First CD I bought was Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle in 1993, which is also the year I finally upgraded to a CD player.

tardwrangler posted:So how many of these things still actually play all the way through? As far as I know, they all play fine. I nearly wore Carnival of Chaos out, and had to use a 90's pink paste to fill in the scratches, which seemed to work until I went digital with my music.

tardwrangler posted:So how many of these things still actually play all the way through? I dunno, my first ever CD doesn't play well but it's pretty scratched up because I was a stupid kid. I've got other stuff I've had for up to about 20 years that is still fine. Though I agree the industry did deserve to get hosed with the rampant price fixing, stupid loving retailer exclusive tracks, suing fans for trillions of dollars (lol), poo poo like Sony's rootkit fiasco, various attempts to make it illegal to rip something you'd purchased to MP3 so you could use it on your iPod etc. I think the only thing worse than the music industry is the movie industry, since they decide to put up to 10 minutes of unskippable adverts, trailers and videos calling me a thief "you wouldn't steal a car, would you?" when I legitimately purchase something at a hugely over-inflated price since I don't live in America when I could just get a 1080p torrent with none of that bullshit for free in less time than it takes to walk to the shop and buy it.
