    First record album: Donna Summer, Bad Girls...lol. My uncle gave it to me for my 10th birthday.
  • I hate to admit it but I use to listen to Juice Newton on an 8 track tape both facts are kind of embarassing. I don't know does anyone here even remember 8 track tapes? :noway:

    No I had to google this one!

    I don't remember.. I was listening to my mom's albums long before I bought one..Elvis, Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
    It was probably a Beatles album though. My mom didn't have them all.

    I grew up in a strict Christian household! My first cassettes were mainly things like Petra, Michael W. Smith, Michael Card, Beethoven. My first CD was Americana by The Offspring. I kept it hidden under a bunch of stuff in my dresser... til my younger sister found it, read the lyrics booklet and was shocked to see obscenities. She took it immediately to our mom, who dragged me to Walmart to try to return it. The customer service lady said no and my mom snapped the CD in two pieces right in front of her. I didn't buy any other CDs til two years later, that was The Matrix soundtrack and A Kind of Magic by Queen. These I kept safe in a better hiding space LOL. I was so excited I actually kept the receipt for the Queen soundtrack. I still have it to this day.

    ETA: This isn't counting the numerous anime soundtracks I had. My parents never had problems with that, I guess 'cuz they didn't know what the lyrics translated to anymore than I did.

    My first music was a 78 rpm record. It was yellow and was of a cartoon character, Looney Tunes I think. I still have it somewhere around here.

    But the first "popular" music I got was a Beatles 45 rpm--Can't Buy Me Love; I got it from a friend for my 12th birthday party in 1965, which was my first girl/boy party.
