What was the first album you bought with your own money ? My first was Minutes to Midnight. A decade later, I still have it in permanent residency in my car.

Hm, good question. I think it was Appeal to Reason by Rise Against, everything else before that was a Christmas or birthday gift. Still an album I enjoy, although now I have 150 or so lying around (well, in a box back in Toronto).

I could be mistaken, I bought a shit ton of CDs as a kid, but I believe I first bought Futures by Jimm y Eat World and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb by U2 in the same transaction.

Cake - Fashion Nugget was my first cd. I think no doubt or sublime was my first cassette. Rage Against the Machine was my second cd.

Futures is a pretty solid album.

“Let's Face It," by Mighty Mighty Bosstones was my first, I think.

Pearl Jam Vitalogy.
This was the first CD I contributed money towards. My oldest brother had just gotten the first CD player in our household as a gift. We put our pennies together to buy a CD and got this.

dude amazing, I fucking had blue on repeat for days.

I’m pretty sure it was this. Great stuff - and yeah, I have some old vinyl laying around...

Yeah I was surprised to see you picked up rage that early, but I'd still have it too. Eiffel 65 is likely at my parents house somewhere, but I knew all the lyrics to every song haha

It’s been a long, long time since I bought an album, but I’d have to think this was one of my first.

I have to admit, I have an older brother who would have been 10 at the time, and I copied him about rage haha in addition to rage, he got:
POD, which just reminded of POD for the first time in a decade

Falco 3, with such hits as Vienna Calling and Rock Me Amadeus.

I still think about this CD every now & then. I want to say it was also an aesthetic inspiration as the photos I took in winters 2007-2009 attempted to capture urban nightscapes in a similar way.
The CD’s long gone having been crushed or lost when my Integra was stolen in 2014 and eventually scrapped.

hmm, I thought appeal to reason was a different album,.
sorry, siren sound of the counter culture. Because “paper wings” and “give it all” “Swing life away” was pretty good to.
