The first music I bought was on CD (mid 90s). Both releases were already out for some time and have waited to be listened on my new Kenwood 3-Disc Mini Hi-Fi Stereo System.
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
AC/DC - Fly on the Wall
I remember hearing this song for the first time on the radio while I was driving in my car. I immediately stopped at a record store and bought the album before I proceeded to wherever I was going.
Happy Birthday to @Kitty's #TuneTuesday 🎂 🎉
This week's theme is #IBoughtItFirst by @Nicolaa.
At the tender age of 9, way before I started to attentively listen to music, everything was just background noise for me. The first album I bought was a CD, for my elder brother's birthday. A couple years had to pass before I started appreciating the genre of #TripHop.
Not a clue about the first single but the first album I bought with my own money, my savings from birthdays, etc, was Appetite For Destruction by Gun's N' Roses. Not the year that was released (1987) as I was too wee but I'm pretty sure it was in summer 1990.
And the first VHS video I ever purchased was this one:
It's #TuneTuesday and the theme is #IBoughtItFirst - the first single/album you got for yourself. @communiteatime is driving and picking the music, so don't say we didn't warn you. ⚠️
That first album was...Shepherd Moons by Enya. For a 90s teen into Irish and New Age music, what else would it have been? 😅
This was the fav song, and it made it onto an Ireland travel playlist for OSS-EU back in 2022. And now our earworm is yours! What was your first? 🐛
Second and third Album: Papa Roach - Last Resort and, quite interestingly, Gigi D'Agostini - L'amour toujours
Never - not to this day - bought any singles. To me, the booklet was and is still so important. So, singles often not having any were a waste of my precious savings 😜
(I'm interpreting this as "album" because I still have never bought a record.)
The original motion picture score for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I played the hell out of that album, including the sickeningly sweet Bryan Adams song.
The first not-soundtrack-or-classical CD I bought was Soundgarden Superunknown, which became the soundtrack for my junior year of high school.
...the first CDs I got by myself were Iron Maiden's "Seventh Son..." and the following. I bought them at a local second hand store. Even though I snatched both at the same time I consider this one as my first ever music purchase ->
It was a cassette tape from those that they sold in those small music magazines that were sent to your home but you had to be subscribed first. It was around 1994 or 1995. I was 13.
I got something else as a birthday present and exchanged it for Escape. I had no idea what I was doing and picked it because I liked the cover art. The music did not disappoint.
So @Kitty's Tune Tuesday turns a year old today! Congrats!
In honor of that, we have a theme from @Nicolaa of "I Bought It First."
So, let's go back in time to a young MDMRN. It wasn't until the early 90s that I bought any music of my own. Before that, I listened to my parent's music.
Happy 1 year to @Kitty's Tune Tuesday! The theme for this one is I Bought It First by @Nicolaa which is the single or album you bought first.
I'll be honest, I have no earthly clue. I mostly listened to vinyl my parents owned, so the first thing bought solely for myself was probably a cassette tape in the 80s. I couldn't tell you which. So I'm going to go with a song off an album I know I owned on cassette back in that decade. :akkoShrug:

I exactly remember that Bat Out Of Hell II by #meatloaf was my first self bought album. I got - and still get - hooked instantly by the huge amount of bombast and pathos that this man created on his records. Sadly enough, I never got the chance to see him live on stage.
#TuneTuesday#IBoughtItFirst
This was one of the first albums I bought, not 100% sure it’s the first, but it’s one of two or three that could have been (I’ve slept a few times since then, and they would have all been pretty close together). It also kickstarted my love of metal.
1 Year of Tune Tuesday! :mexcitedmiku: The theme is I Bought It First: The first single or album you bought.
I'm pretty sure the first album I bought on my own was Sgt Pepper's. Blew my mind, and still one of my favorite albums. And led to me spending most of my money in high school on CDs, which is something that hasn't really changed. :4504_aqua_laugh:
Todays #TuneTuesday theme is #IBoughtItFirst, the first record we bought for ourselves. Mine was The Cure - The Cure (Amiga Quartett 7") when I was 14. And I played it a lot 🙈
I can't really remember what was the first single that I bought with my own money, rather than asking someone to buy it for me, but for the purposes of this week's #TuneTuesday#IBoughtItFirst I'm going with this, as I remember getting the cassette single at some point. It came out when I was ten, so definitely early in my music buying history.
