WOW!
I actually own that. My parents bought it for me when I was about the same age. Use to spin that album like crazy. Use to do the maze on the back, and turn the album upside down, cause that peter pan guy looked evil when flipped upside-down.
I fired it up last year for Halloween, and it actually holds up pretty well around Halloween. This reminds me I need to play it in a few weeks.
My first purchased album was Nirvana Unplugged in New York. My parents got me a really nice home stereo one year for Christmas, and that was the first CD I purchased. Still have the lyrics to every song memorized. Probably listened to that album thousands of times, and then some.

No shame, that had some great songs on it. That was actually my first CD, but my first tape was Boyz II Men II.

The Final Countdown by Europe. Funnily enough I disliked the song by the same name, album had(\has) much better songs.
I recently found the tape I bought all those years back. That was my first baby steps into rock

The first album I bought was Jimi Hendrix Axis.
Which is part of the reason I really didn’t like the site member Jimi Hendrix, who stood for everything Jimi was not.

Probably Michael Jackson- Dangerous (on cassette). Too expensive to get it on CD in the early 90's. But these days I prefer the Quincy Jones MJ albums- not as heavily produced as Dangerous.

growing up we never bought albums. we got friends to record songs we liked on tape. but the first official album i bought was californication by the red hot chilli peppers on cd because no one seemed to be able to find the songs to record on tape.

Michael Jackson's Thriller
Thanks for making me feel old
fuck you
Backstory: Michael Jackson's popularity was blowing up, we wore parachute pants and sat at the TV watching his videos on MTV, completely entranced by his music videos. Begged my dad to buy it for us. It might have been the first cassette purchase for my family, but my dad came back from work one day with the tape and we played the fuck out of it.
Now I need to locate a cassette for nostalgic reasons.
Edit 2: Not sure if they count, but my cousins in Detroit used to dub us tapes all the time, that's how I got introduced to the world of Rap. But I'm thinking this was after Thriller. I remember loving Run DMC and Beastie Boys at a time when we lived in a shit small town and no one listened to that "ghetto" music.

Families don't sit together listening to an album any more, they watch a DVD instead. The VCR changed that.

I don't remember my first tape. I can't tell the difference in my memory between dubbed and retail tapes. I know the first CD I bought was a parody compilation from a local radio station.

Can't recall for sure, but I think the first cassette I ever bought was probably something from Weird Al Yankovic ("Dare to Be Stupid" maybe?) They're not music, but I used to have several of those storybook-cassette combos when I was a kid too, mostly Transformers ones.
