Balta1701 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 It was either Pearl Jam's Vs., Soundgarden's "Superunknown", or Stone Temple Pilot's "Purple". I honestly don't remember which was first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't remember which was first. I get the feeling that we're around the same age. I know that Vs. was the first album I ever purchased, and I'm pretty sure that I bought Superunknown shortly after. I still think that Vs. is the PJ's best.

Rex Hudler Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) My first CD's were: Howard Jones - "Dream Into Action" and Bryan Adams "Cuts Like A Knife" Have no clue what my first album was. Probably Sugar Hill Gang "Rapper's Delight" or something like that. Let's not forget Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five either! I did the whole 70's Classic Rock thing (many of the ones you guys have mentioned) and then moved into the Heavy Metal/Hair Band era with bands like Dokken, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio, etc. Then I hopped right into the 80's and Bryan Adams. My musical tastes were kind like Nuke Laloosh _ _ cks and pitches...... all over the place. Boston, Van Halen, U2 and Mellencamp were always some of my favorite bands.

Yoda Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Guns N’ Roses Use Your Illusion II. I remember buying that CD for the sole purpose that I heard You Could Be Mine in Terminator 2. I was so hooked to that film (and the song) that I went to Circuit City and used my allowance money to buy that CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 First album I ever bought was Mr. Mister- "Welcome to the Real World." Followed closely by Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet." Both on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
