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?

[Maynard]

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...

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

[GonzoStyle]

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.

[Bondgirl]

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

[Maynard]

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.

[Arthur Dent]

My first album was Def Leppard's Pyromania.

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