I laughed at this. "Back in the day, when I still bought off iTunes..." Sorry but "back in the day" and "iTunes" just struck me as funny being an old fart like me. The ironic part was the King Crimson.

I remember having LPs, 8 tracks and cassettes long before CDs. I bought a few CDs my first time. They were Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Pink Floyd's "DSotM" and Chicago "16".

I was a Chicago junkie back then and had their entire discography in both LP and cassette.

i remember my first three all in 91  rigth when they came out.  after that it gets kinda hazy.
 
1. Nirvana, Nevermind
2. Pearl Jam, Ten
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blood Sugar Sex Magik
 
4. might have been Primus, Pork Soda but probably not since it came out 2 years later
 
out of those first 3 the RHCP CD is the only one I really listen to anymore... its still one of my favorite albums of all time.

The first record I bought was the single of Snoopy vs the Red Baron by The Royal Guardsmen. That was when I was in elementary school. The first LP I bought was in high school... Jethro Tull's War Child. I had much better taste in music as a young kid than I did in high school.

I remember collecting cassette tapes in middle school and jr high, bands like White Snake, Warrant, Def Leppard, Metallica.  I think I may still have some of those still laying around.  My first cd I bought when was in high school, Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction.  Thanks for the blast from the past...!

The first CD I ever bought was Meteora by Linkin Park.  must have listened to that album over 500 times.  Still awesome.

My very first CD purchase was Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here in 1998.

My first CD was The Beatles Yellow Submarine movie sound track to replace my old tape version back in 1996!

OP here…pretty cool that folks are still contributing to this thread…wanted to repeat something about how music consumption has expanded in the mp3 era. Today it seems like every conceivable type of music is a mouse- or trackpad-click away, but I look back and remember that a big part of why I chose my first two CDs was because those albums were next-to-impossible to find at that time. I mean, Saxophone Colossus? When I came across it I was in a record store in Cologne, Germany…and I was, like, "Holy sh-t!!" If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't available as an LP, either, if y'all jazz folks can imagine that. One of the cornerstones of Sonny Rollins' catalog…back then you could spend years perusing record bins before you found basic John Coltrane records or Blue Note stuff like Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage. And Air Lore, my other first disc, was already hard to find even though it couldn't have been more than 10 years old at the time. Loving jazz beyond Miles and Brubeck (and actually, loving punk, too) was a real game of vigilance back then…just reminiscing a little bit…

I haven't got the slightst clue, and I find it fascinating anyone actually remembers theirs. It was something Classical though, I think. Or Pokémon-related.
