10 tracks of perfection, I will never get tired of listening to this.%) The only issue is SCOM being so overplayed.

 
Oh, fuck. Yeah, same here and I still love the album tracks.

The second album I bought was a Madonna compilation, I think.
 
Think I've still got the tape somewhere:D. That was the first album, but the first single...



8o So, so real.
 
Bought Appetite for Destruction, the Slim Shady LP, Prodigy - Fat of The Land and Limp Bizkit - Chocolate starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water all together off a friend when i was about 13 i think
 
De La Soul
3 feet high and rising bought from ourprice using record vouchers
Not a bad choice considering I was 10 :)
(Must confess I did buy Bobby Brown don't be cruel 10 mins later lol)
 
The Greatest Golden Oldies Of The 1970s (or something like that) IIRC. I could lie and say i was so 'cool' at 10 years old that the first album i ever bought was by the 13th floor elevators or the velvet underground or something, but what would be the point of that. 8)

Track listing included
Sailor: A Glass of Champagne
Eddison Lighthouse: Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes
Great White: Twice Shy
Sly and The Family Stone: A family Affair

cant remember what else was on it, i got my moneys worth out of that album though thats for sure. I still like some of the tracks, though i can tell that the Sailor track really isnt in 'good taste' i still like it. The cheesier the better, sometimes. :o

I then started buying "The history Of Rock" magazines and albums. My mother became concerned aboout me developing a liking for The Everly brothers, and actively discouraged that because they were "soppy" with tracks like "Dream" and told me to listen to "modern music" instead incase the other kids at school would think i was weird or something. That happened a few years later anyway. :\

I guess she was right, in a way, at least.

My first singles were purchashed when i was around 9 years old; Buggles: Video Killed The Radio Star might have been my first, soon came The Stranglers: Golden Brown, Abba: Chiqitiqua. I still have them and i still love them.

At a party at my home (they were popular in the 70's) my rather drunk father gave me a fiver - i think- and said 'go and get your self a record son' As i was only 11 I didn't have any music of my own, so seizing the opportunity and not even thinking what a weird thing it was that my old man had done i skipped in to town to our little record shop called Webbs (sadly closed many years ago) and bought Dark Side of the Moon. I have no recollection why i chose that but within a week or so I knew every lyric and all that was printed on the sleeve and PF became my favorite band for years and led me to all sorts of yummy stuff;KIng Crimson, Zepplin, The Doors, Grateful Dead..etc etc
 
Well, the first album I owned was the seminal album from the Spice Girls - Spice, I asked my parents for Christmas but the first album I purchased with my own money was Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP.

My parents shouldn't have allowed their heterosexual son to own a spice girls CD regardless of age. :!

haha, looking bad i think my mother made the right call about the everly brothers not being a great influence for a 10/11 year old boy, though it would have been nice to have got the entire History Of Rock collection by the time i was 11 or something. That would have given me a great benchmark from which to judge everything else, very early on, rather than relying on what the Smash Hits reviewers said were the best singles of the week, or just trusting my own ears listening to the top 30 run down on radio 1 on sunday evenings. Used to get quite excited about that over Sunday dinner.

Ooh, respect. =D

Prior to actually buying an album, I loved Cliff Richard and Meat Loaf, when I was about 7.
 
I still like Meatloaf, was listening to Bat out of Hell here just yesterday! :D
