First album I really remember getting was CCR - Green River, my Father brought it home when he returned from Vietnam. But the first one I remember buying myself was Kiss Alive on 8-Track, anyone remember those?

The first CD I bought was Green Day's American Idiot. I've bought a lot more since, like Aerosmith's Greatest hits, Styx Greatest Hits, and The Who's Greatest hits.

First album I actually bought was Rainbow - Down to Earth. Seem to recall that Pink Floyd - WYWH and a Deep Purple (A's & B's?) compilation were around the same time.
First single was a freebie (Smiths crisps) - Slade - Far Far Away.

Nothing too embarrasing - yet.

However, when I first bought singles, the early ones that spring to mind were ABBA - Name of the Game (it goes downhill from here!), Showaddywaddy - When and Boney M - Ma Baker.......

I still have it... on the Dawn label....flicking thru albums in Selectadisc.. enquired what was playing in said store.

Gravy Train - Strength Of A Dream.

Gravy Train - Second Birth.
Second was Demons And Wizards.

Wow this is an old thread, it must have been rescued from the graveyard.

It's hard to recall the first album. Led Zeppelin II or maybe Chicago II.

I didn't start with rock... The first album I bought was "American Life" by Madonna...
the first rock album I bought was a progressive rock one... and it was In the Wake of Poseidon, by King Crimson.

Original first release, gatefold sleeve, embossed with lyric sheet.
Still listen to this album a lot! His later cheez spoilt his reputation imo
