What was the first album that your mom or dad bought for you?!
Question: Somehow, I talked my mom into buying me a well-played but scratch-free copy of the Beatles 1962-1966 album at a garage sale for a buck. Still have it and it plays great.
In high school, a friend of mine got "Highway to Hell" from his grandma for Christmas. True story.

LMFAO
The first albums my Mom UNKNOWINGLY bought me.
I say UNKNOWINGLY because I was seven years old and one day I checked the mail for her and in it was a postcard offer from Columbia House Records and Tapes. It said "Choose any 11 Albums for a penny!" I thought, "well, EVEN I have a PENNY!" So I ordered them. Weeks later, when they arrived in the mail, my Mom had a cow!
The albums were:
Grand Funk Railroad/ Locomotion
AC/DC/ Highway To Hell
KISS/ Alive II
Peter Frampton Comes Alive
AC/DC/ Let There Be Rock
AC/DC/ High Voltage
AC/DC/ If You Want Blood.....
AC/DC/ Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Queen/ The Game
The Rolling Stones/ Some Girls
and last but not least......
Black Sabbath
needless to say, the albums ended up in the dumpster;
I tried to get them out, but I got caught. HA HA HA
when i was about 3 i convinced my mum to buy me a nursery rhymes one
Lol
beatles .... twist and shout ....... still have it.....but alas no turntable to play it on
The first album I was given was a compilation album called Sound Spectacular, one of those K-tel creations. Otherwise, my parents did not buy me albums; they did not like the "new" music!
Kiss - Rock and Roll Over... on 8-track.
NP: "Creatures of the Night" - Kiss
My Grandma bought my first album ever and it was Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry. Seriously.
My very first album my dad bought me was Disco Duck it had Rick Dees singing Disco duck and fifth of beethoven and captain and tenille, paul mccartney and wings, whoever it was that sang kung-fu fighting etc.... sad part is all those songs were actual radio-played songs at that time. Dang I'm getting old lol
Steve, you tripping? Parents buying me what? Anything and everything that I wanted as a kid, be it vinyl or Levi's, had to come out of my own coffers. Looking back on it, I'm still not sure whether they were preparing me for the world or just selfish. At least I was able to attain the music I wanted. My first LP records were "Just Like Us" by Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the first "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits." Most of it was 45's I bought down at the local Walgreen's for next to nothing, compared to today.
LOL, now i'm picturing an old lady walking into a store and buying that!
my parents got me Dookie- Green Day for christmas
The first album ever bought for me by my parents was a David Cassidy cassette followed by a Wilson Phillips cassette and then third a Mariah Carey Cassette.... I have a pretty good memory. lol.
The first album that my parents bought for me was the album of Ashlee Simpson "Autobiography". That was a long time ago before I started to download songs!
Duran Duran's "Rio"...on vinyl. I don't have it any more, though - it was replaced at some point with a cassette copy, which also vanished.
Edit: I agree!
ESPN Jock Jams Vol. 1 (on cassette).. greatest tape ever haha :)
If you mean the first one THEY picked out, I would say it was a Sesame Street album...the one with "Rubber Ducky", "People in your Neighborhood" and "ABDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (where Big Bird thinks it's all one really long word...".
If you mean the first one I remember asking for, it was probably John Cougar's AMERICAN FOOL to get "Jack and Diane". Still like Mellencamp a little (and truth be told, it's nice to have a 3 year old so I have an excuse to listen to "Rubber Ducky", too)
As a kid, they never bought me any music. I earned my records with babysitting money. Mom did pick up a $2 cd for me recently, my love of Cheap Trick is that legendary.
I actually got a double wrapped up under the tree
Kiss Alive and Yes's Close to the Edge. I don't think I came out of my room all weekend..lol listening to those albums.
The Beatles Rubber Soul came out in December of 1965 and I got it for Christmas that year.
The only music they ever bought me was at Christmas times.
I bugged my mom to death until she bought me "Walk, Don't Run, '64" by The Ventures. I really loved surf guitar.
i told my mom when she was going to "gold circle" store to get me an album. i wanted "rainbow" straight between the eyes album. she got it for me. i loved the songs death alley driver, and stone cold. my parents were cool.
The first cd my parents ever bought me was the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas Album. I loved it then and I love it now. It is pure joy to my ears :]
Never got an LP (to my memory) from my parents, but mom *did* get me a 45' of 'Rubber Duckie". (which was actually a top 40 hit in the early 70s)
That I remember..........A Sesame St cassette with children's songs sung by James, Livingston, and Kate Taylor. This was for Christmas when I got my first cassette player. Gonna date myself here but....It was the kind of cassette recorder that had one speaker and a handle on the end.
I had lots of music around me but it was mostly older albums that we played on the family turn table. We had lots of albums.
I was earning money by 5th grade so ... most of the music I got, I had bought it. IDK if you remember the old tape holders that held 15 tapes but this is what was in mine; mixed tapes I taped from the radio (with my new recorder!) and Bryan Adams, Chicago, Boston, a hand full of Grateful Dead (go to heaven, estimated profit, in the dark), James Taylor, Paul Simon, The Cure, Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Tammy Wynette (yes, Tammy is great!), I think I had a Hall and Oats one too...
Thanks for the musical memories.
wow - i think it was something like Kieth Green. I was obsessed with those kinds of singer when I was little.
I don't remember my parents ever buying me an LP. The first 45 I ever remember having was " Let it Be" by The Beatles. I was maybe in kindergarten at the time. I loved that song.
It would be Lemon Parade by Tonic, it was cool back then haha.
My parents bought me two Chipmunks LP's, "Urban Chipmunk" and "Chipmunk Punk." The first had a lot of that pop-country music that was popular in the late '70's, the other had mostly new wave...The Chipmunks doing "My Sharona" remains one of the most inappropriate things ever recorded.
First album my GRANDMA ever got me was GN'R Lies on cassette, after I asked her for it. She still has no idea what exactly it was that she purchased for me, bless her heart. ;-)
I am with bigfan4acdc, even though I didn't do that.... LMAO
BUT my first album my parents got me was Highway To Hell, even though they did it reluctantly.....
Kiss...Rock and Roll Over
...Thumbs up, Mike..for Rock and Roll Over...
Still too new to rate answers....:(
My Mom gave me The Pretender's 45 "Brass in Pocket" and Blondie's "Autoamerican"...
The first one that I asked for was 'Star Turtle' by Harry Connick Jr.
The first one that I remember not asking for (but wanted) was 'Evil Empire' by Rage Against the Machine.
