[immts007]

Oh man.

Kiss Double Platinum.

[skierbri10]

Michael Jackson "Thriller" lol

[ShotCaLLa]

It was what my dad always played, so I had to have my own tapes for my walkman!

[Big_M]

Mine:

and you admit to this

Michael Jackson "Thriller" lol

that's funny

mine was - Metallica, Master of Puppets and Guns N' Roses, Appetite for Detruction... both on the same day... I was 10.

[skierbri10]

I guess it is okay since I was 10 years old also.....but looking back at it.....I might of changed that purchase....I think the Beasties Boys had an album out then I should have gotten instead....

Hey thriller is kind of a classic. Somewhere down the line I ended up purchasing MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, and even Public Enemy... so, we've all made those purchases that we look back on asking "what was I thinking".

[Shindig]

John Williams' score from Jurassic Park on cassette. I was 10 years old.

[Ben]

And you admit to that?!

Obviously we are entirely different people. You like plain white girls and heavy metal. I like girls with a little character (and bad hair, at least in one press photo) and rap.

[Clubswinger21]

Clapton and Credence are the shit.

I grew up in the grung era (early 90's). So it was Pearl Jam- Ten, Nervana-nevermind, Soundgarden- Superunknown, Beasty Boys-liscense to Ill. Earliest ones i can remember.

[michaeljames92]

And you admit to that?!

man whats wrong with metallica and gunners?

[Ruari]

Frank Zappa's Hot Rats.
I had to buy it because I'd accidentally broken my brother's LP (vinyl, man! Wow!). It cost about three weeks' pocket money.

Now I've grown up, I understand why he was so cross...it's brilliant, and I have my very own copies on CD and iTunes.

[Wisco-Kid]

REM - Dead Letter Office

[Ben]

man whats wrong with metallica and gunners?

Nothing at all, if that's what someone is into.

[shortgame85]

Very nice.

Now as to mine: Pearl by Janis Joplin, on release.

[gogolfing]

I was born in 1969, so when I was about six, my cousin who was older moved in with us, and I had an uncle who was 10 years older than me who I thought was a god. They got me listening to their music, so I remember getting Boston, Meatloaf and Kiss albums at a fairly young age I've enjoyed music ever since.

I also went with the trends of my peers and have to admit that I remember buying a Bay City Rollers album in elementary school too

[LottaBalata]

My first purchase was around 1979, I was 8 and my sister took me to the local mall. I bought a 45 of Kung Fu Fighting from Carl Douglas.

I ended up buying 8 track tapes of The Beach Boys, Elvis, and a 1980--G.Hits compilation.


I always had a little transistor radio on, playing b-ball, hanging from my handlebars on my dirtbike. Always loved music.

Don't worry, I've expanded my collection!!

[Clubswinger21]

To the moron who left me negative feedback for calling clapton and credence the shit.. In 2008 "the sh*t" is typically a term that the younger generation uses to describe something you like.

thanks a lot
