My first record album was John Denver, when I was 12.
I don't know for sure which cassette I got first but it was either Van Halen, Rod Stewart or Ktel (assorted artists).
I think my first cd was a ktel type assortment of 80's hair band ballads.
Can't remember which 45. But my sister had Shaun Cassidy "Do run run" and we listen to it over and over and over.

My aunt gave me my very first 45 record. It was Dance With Me Henry by Georgia Gibbs and the other side was Tweedlee Dee by LaVern Baker and the Gliders. That was around 1955. I played and danced to that record until I wore it out. Drove my mother crazy. I found those songs on youtube recently and I like them as much now as I did then.
First album was Elvis' Blue Hawaii.

Vinyl - Double Dutch Bus by Frankie Smith. It’s a 45, I can’t remember what’s on the other side but I think I still have it somewhere.
Cassette - Def Leppard Hysteria
CD - I don’t know. I married DH before I had a CD player and he came with tons of music in his collection. Probably the first we bought for me would have been like Tim McGraw or Alan Jackson or something like that.

My first tape was New Kids on the Block - Hangin Tough 1988.
First CD was Red Hot Chili Peppers and Shakespeare’s Sister, 1992. Bought both CDs and a CD Boom Box with my hard earned babysitting money at Best Buy.

My first non book with story record was Grease. My first cassettes were Olivia Newton John or the Monkees. I was obsessed with both from around the age of 6.
My last record was Echo and the Bunnymen, I loved them and wanted the cover to hang on my wall. I don’t remember my first CD. Probably Depeche Mode.

Fun thread! The first record album that was given to me was either a Skyhooks or an Eric Burdon and the Animals album, in 1979. That same year I also got the 45 of 'My Sharona' by The Knack for my birthday. The first records that I bought for myself, with a $10 voucher from my aunty, was Cold Chisel 'East' and Australian Crawl 'Boys Light Up'. My first cassette - A double album of The Rolling Stones best of, called Rolled Gold. I was disappointed that my mum bought the cassettes instead of the record, but I never told her I was disappointed. I think it was about 1980. My first CD was...... ugh...... Del Amitri. And you know, I bought it before I even had a CD player, and I never even listened to it. I have no idea why I even bought it, I was more into Aussie rock. ETA: Actually, I just remembered that I also had the compilation album Explosive Hits '75 !! So that would have been the first album I was given. Tracklist for Explosive Hits '75: A1 John Young* - Yesterday's Hero 3:41 A2 –Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby 2:37 A3 –Peter Shelley - Gee Baby 2:50 A4 –The Glitter Band - Goodbye My Love 3:44 A5 –Linda Ronstadt - You're No Good 3:25 A6 –AC/DC Baby - Please Don't Go 4:50 A7 –Al Martino - To The Door Of The Sun 3:18 A8 –The Peppers - Pepper Box 2:18 B1 –Pilot - January 3:28 B2 –Ross Ryan - Blue Chevrolet Ballerina 3:56 B3 –Guys & Dolls* - There's A Whole Lot Of Loving 3:13 B4 –Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Make Me Smile (Come Up & See Me) 3:30 B5 –Ralph McTell - Streets Of London 4:20 B6 –Sherbet - Summer Love 3:30 B7 –Frankie Valli - My Eyes Adored You 3:09 B8 –Gilbert Bécaud - A Little Love & Understanding 3:23 |

My first 45 was "You're the Apple of My Eye" by the Four Lovers... who later became Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. I still have it.  I'd have to think a bit for the others. |

First album that was specifically mine (and not an older sibling's) was Madonna True Blue. I probably listened it thousands of times!

First album was probably Alvin and the Chipmunks, LOL. I’m pretty sure we wore that record out. The first 45 we listened to as kids was one by The Beatles that one of my older siblings must have bought and left behind. I think Let It Be was on one side and I don’t remember what the other song was. We played them on a big wooden console hi-fi record player in the livingroom. My parents liked to listen to Perry Como and Bing Crosby but they didn’t own many records.
First 45 I bought myself I think was Heat of the Moment by Asia. Nothing like a one hit wonder! I have no idea what the first cassette tape I bought was, DH and I both had a lot of them (remember the Columbia Record Club where you could get ten albums on cassette for a dollar or something initially and then they’d send you albums every month that you had to send back within so many days or get charged highway robbery for them?) and many were duplicates between our two collections. We combined them initially to downsize, and finally got rid of the last of them about ten years ago.
I can’t even think of the last time I’ve listened to an album on a CD.

My first LP was Bobbie Gentry and Glen Campbell released in 1968. I was only 8, though. As a 7yo I spent many an afternoon listening to one of mum's Glen Campbell records, singing 'Galveston' into my hairbrush (it was the only song that had the words to it, written on the back of the album cover). Mum and dad took me to see him in concert back in 1974, when I was 6 or 7, which was my first ever concert. I actually have Glen Campbell and Bobby Gentry singing 'All I Have To Do is Dream' on my iPod. |

My first 45 was Jeepster by TRex along with Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs.
My first album was David Bowie Hunky Dory.
These all occurred together for Christmas 1971. I was 7.

My bio father gave me a Walkman, Pula Abdul’s spellbound and Mariah Carey’s self titled album on cassette. It was one more reinforcement of how little he knew me. I don’t remember what my first CD was but I do remember one of the first ones I bought myself was Garth Brooks Live CD. I went to Target before school on release day to get it.

I didn't have a lot of music when I was a kid. So 7 year old me had:
Michael Jackson's Thriller on Cassette
Culture Club's Colour By Numbers Album
My Mom's Cassette of Simon & Garfunkel's Concert in Central Park, which I played to death
and the piece d'resistance a 45(!) of Quiet Riot's Cum on Feel the Noise
I also had Mickey Mouse Disco Album. Which I had let sit out in the sun and warped. And I would still play it. When it came out on CD, as an adult I had to have it.

First 45 was Sugar Sugar by the Monkees
First album was Close to You by the Carpenters
Can’t remember my first cassette, but we were very fond of our Phantom of the Opera soundtrack
First CD was No Fences by Garth Brooks
And first download of an entire album was a Radiohead album
Next I think they’ll beam the music straight into my head, I have certainly
I’ve to see technology and art evolve, and I’m not even that old!
ETA: first album I enjoy in my car via Bluetooth is Mykonokos by My Morning Jacket. I still can’t believe that’s all I have to do to get my favorite music in the car.
