Holy Shit! You fuckers were "in to" hair bands? FUCK! I thought only chicks listened to that crap! I'll admit to liking guitar rock, but I was trying to learn guitar at the time. Hair bands were just ridiculous.

"She's my cherry pie..." What a fucking joke. Do you have any respect for musicians?

I can't really remember the first record I bought. I think it may have been Thriller? The thing about it is, I used to copy all my parents music to cassette and listen to it. My father listens to so much great music, and he turned me onto so much. I think that maybe the first album that really blew me away was either Frank Zappa's Hot Rats, or The Grand Wazoo. I can still remember being a kid and listening to those albums over and over. I think I wore both of those tapes out. Another cassette I can remember having was Boston - Boston. Really great 70's rock.

I continue to this day find albums that blow me away and change the way I think and listen to music.

ok... even though Sluggo's got a few years on me... I actually saw Metallica & Anthrax open for a band called RAVEN at the Roseland Ballroom in August of 1983...

but, back to the topic at hand... The first album I can remember owning was KISS - The Originals (1st 3 albums in one package with a booklet, huge KISS Army Sticker & cards...all of which i still have)

first album i ever spent my own money on was Cheap Trick - Live at Budakon (which I also still have)

as far as bands that had a lasting impression on the way i see music... I'd have to say that seeing the Dead Kennedy's live in 1983 (maybe 84) was definately a mind blowing experience... things just never seemed the same after the first time you get a doc martin ricochetted off your skull...

So true. So, so true.

Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA, Prince Purple RAin. Got them for my 13th or 14th Birthday.

Didn't they have a song called "On and On"?

Hair bands had their moments, it wasn't until you had every fuckin nimrod with a voice box a big cock and long blonde hair releasing an album. Blame it on record companies, the same ones who mass produced everyone from Fabian and Frankie Avalon to Nsync & The Backstreet boys.

I actually went through my record collection, all 50 of them, lol. There was the battered 'Thriller' album if you can believe it. I wanted to play it but opted for listening to the CD instead.

The first album I bought was Thriller, I was probably about 7. The first music to really blow my mind was Bob Marley, probably around a year or two later. I still looove teh reggae

It's funny, looking through some of these responses actually made ME feel old. And look at how many people bought Thriller as their first album. Fucking amazing!!! Yet it still was only #23 on the VH1 top 100 list. Ponderous.

My first album was Def Leppard's Pyromania.

The first time I heard Led Zeppelin was a major turning point in my musical taste.
