What was the first two albums you bought?

[Stilgar of Troon]

Appetite for Destruction and in the same week, Passion & Warfare.

 

[Battlecruiser3000ad]

Huh. I think Nevermore's Politics of Ecstacy & Dreaming Neon Black

 

[Pocket Dragoon]

The first? Nirvana's Bleach, literally because on the CD cover it looked like they could rock the fuck out.

After that, I got mine from one of those club subscriptions, Columbia House I think; 10 "free" albums from a shitty short list for full price of five (or something like that). I ended up picking NIN's Broken (along with the cool mini-disc), Aphex Twin's I Care Because You Do, Ministry's The Mind is Terrible Thing & Psalm 69, Pantera's Vulgar Display, Skinny Puppy's VIVIsect VI.

The kicker was I picked all of them based on the tiny fucking thumbnails of album covers, along with how edgy or weird they looked/sounded.. and holy shit. It was all downhill after that.

Remember Metallica's St Anger being the first album I bought (yes, it's dogshit, but it just came out and I listened to it a lot. Still like the song Invisible Kid). My second may have been Pantera's Cowboys From Hell.

 

[SofondaCox]

Purple Rain and an Elton John I can't remember the title of.

I was a weird kid.

 

[The Token Ethnic]

I purchased a cassingle (holy fucking hell, that's an outdated word) of Young MC's "Bust A Move" and I purchased Pearl Jam's "Ten" on cassette with the chore money I saved up.

 

[Botchy Galoop]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and AJA

ETA: ^^^ The above albums were my partners first 2 purchased albums.
I was given a whole lot of albums before I purchased any.
The first 2 albums I was ever given (by parental unit) Puff the Magic Dragon and Jesus Christ Superstar
First 2 I ever purchased? Tapestry and One Size Fits All.

Good question OP

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

I got one of Edison's wax cylinders at a garage sale, which had sounds of him taking a really wet dump for some reason

 

[All Cops Are Based]

The Cure - Disintegration and Slayer - Reign in Blood
Almost seems like I'm just calculatedly picking two great albums, but it's true

 

[CWCissey]

The Stone Roses debut and Urban Hymns-The Verve.

 

[pitawilson]

Powerslave and i think a black sabbath one

 

[Dysnomia]

I'm not entirely sure. But I think it was Ten by Pearl Jam and Flesh & Blood by Poison. The first album I ever owned was a cassette of Storm Front by Billy Joel back in Christmas of 1989. I still have it.

 

[melty]

I was hoping for some fun stuff like,
Now That's What I Call Music! #17.
I guess you all have better taste.

I'll give you one, Europop by Eiffel 65. I had no concept of what a one-hit wonder was.

 

[Sargon's wife's son]

I'm an Alabama Niger and I Wanna Be Free hell with the NAACP

 

[Rich Evans Apologist]

Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory and Sum 41's Chuck.

Some parts of 'em still hold up alright enough even without the nostalgia-goggles.

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

Public Enemy nation of millions & Bad Brains rock for light

 

[MembersSchoolPizza]

I don't remember for sure, but I'm sure they were movie sound tracks. Back in middle school and most of highschool, that's about all I listened to. I'm sure one of them was the Jurassic Park sound track.

 

[OrionBalls]

Elton John's Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, and The Beach Boys' Smiley Smile. They looked interesting.

 

[Jeff Boomhauer]

Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que and Space Ghost's Surf and Turf.

I did so many chores just to buy both of those. Worth every penny.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Americana by Offspring and Running With Scissors by Weird Al
