What was Your First CD?
For those of us who used to own vinyl, buying our first CD was a huge deal. I’d be willing to wager that we also remember what our first CD was, and even when we bought it. The first one I ever bought was The Traveling Willburys. For Kat, it was Ride the Lightning, by Metallica. I had to ask others if they remembered what their first ever CD was.
Sgt. Peppers June 2, 1987 - Matthew Davidson via twhirl
I think it was a Sade album… probably in 88 or 89 - Tad - the fresh maker
Ugh, Aerosmith’s "Get a Grip" which was given to me. Next I think was Counting Crows "August and Everything After" - Haggis (Sean)
REM’s Reckoning I think. - Abby Martin
Genesis Invisible Touch - George Lee via twhirl
first cd single: bush - swallowed, first cd album: songs in the key of X, first cassette: simpons sing the blues, first (and only) vinyl: los lobos - la bamba… *shakes head* - alphaxion
uh.. I think maybe it was music from Miami Vice. - Nine - Like the number
This is too hard for my old zombie brain - Michael W. May
+1 MWM… I have no idea! - Cheryl Jones
Mine: The Traveling Willburys. :) - l0ckergn0me
Nirvana - Nevermind - Matt Musgrave
The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me in ‘87, I think. - Akiva Moskovitz
Bruce Dickinson - Tattooed Millionaire & Slaughter - Stick It To Ya! What? I was 14 and an idiot at the time. - Mark Wilson
Massive Attack - Blue Lines - Chris Nixon
Tangerine Dream, Optical Race - steplow is Steve
(My first 8-track, btw, was George Carlin, Class Clown) - steplow is Steve
umm, when I was four or five, we got the new Meet the Beatles on vinyl. - Laura Norvig
Anita Baker, "Giving You The Best That I Got", 1987 - Steven Perez
Might have been Speak and Spell by Depeche Mode…Can’t remember exactly. That was 20 years ago. - AlexScoble(Robert’sBro)
Ina Kamoze - Here comes the hotstepper - Mark
Legend - Bob Marley - Peter Simard
Ride the Lightning - Metallica (because I couldn’t afford anything over $10 and it was $10 used) - Justin KoЯn
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire. Really poor audio quality. The first track had so much hissing noise I wondered what was so good about CD’s. - Mark Krynsky
License to ILL - Ryan
Wow, I can’t believe I still remember this… I bought the "Day By Day" jazz album by Najee in 1989… I was still in high school… - Glenn Batuyong via twhirl
P.O.D. - Satellite? I know, I know. You don’t have to tell me. :) - Reuben Thum via twhirl
Journey’s Greatest Hits - Stagekid
LOL. I believe it was Chuck Mangione, Feels So Good. - Brian Norwood
Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss :) - Jérôme
Hmm, I’m wondering how many brain cells back that was! I believe it may have been Talking Heads. +1 for The Cure Akiva! - Jody C
my brother gave me my first portable CD player - along with it he gave me Estefan’s Into the Light and Willson Phillips CD which I can now not recall the name. I was always surprised he picked so well (for my tastes at the time) and that he wasn’t embarrassed to be seen buying them. - pea gives ♥ a bad name
What was your first CD? And, if you remember it, what about your first album on vinyl… or your first 8Track?

It was Bonnie Raitt’s “Nick of Time”. I didn’t even have a player yet but knew that I would within a year after I saved up for one. So, I had my neighbor across the hall convert it to a cassette in order that I could listen to it.

I think the first CD I ever got was a soundtrack to the movie Tarzan. Either that or a Backstreet Boys CD [not one of my prouder moments].

All I remember was a CD for the windows 3.1. I don’t know the name of it or what it was, but I bet it had data files on it.

First Vinyl: Journey, Escape 1981
First 45: Aerosmith, Walk This Way…I was 8!
First CD: Rick Springfield, Working Class Dog. I didn’t even have a player yet, but bought it so I could tape a decent copy for the car.
I never bought 8 tracks or cassettes. I always recorded my Vinyl to tape for the car.
