I can't tell you

(Top Gun soundtrack. I was in fifth grade and wanted to be a fighter pilot. There, I said it!)

I think that was my *second* album.

Metallica- Ride the Lightning

The Beatles' White album.

About 1955 there was Daveee, Davy Crocket. But later there was these guys:

Later it became Beatles, and more Beatles. Still got all the Beatles vinyl. CDs too

The soundtrack for The Empire Strikes Back.

Their Satanic Majesties Request by The Rolling Stones. Dad was an assistant manager at a local store at the time, and the story goes that he received a bunch of leftover and returned merchandise that the business was going to toss out. Some LPs were part of that haul; my little brother and sister took whatever they did and more or less by default I ended up with this Stones album among some other junk. The problem with this record was that I was at least 10 years too young to truly understand anything off of this disc. I do remember that the record had a pretty bad warp to it, though, and I think that I did listen to She's a Rainbow quite a bit, mostly because that was about the only halfway kid-brain friendly song out of the lot. The album cover also did not survive the wrath of my Crayolas.

Even though I really didn't like the rest of the record at the time, in later years my brother voiced to me that the family thought that LP was the reason why I gravitated to punk and metal. I certainly don't recall it that way, but that's how he and the rest of the household thought of me and that warped piece of vinyl.

Soundtrack from ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. I was 12.

First Doors album

First album, I'm pretty sure my father used the fact that I liked a song or two so he could buy it for himself but it was Atlanta Rhythm Section's Champagne Jam.

First time I went and bought for myself was Zep IV (ZOSO), Boston's self titled and Aerosmith's Get Your Wings and Toys in the Attic.

I had that, too. I never saw anyone else with a copy; don't know how popular it was, but I loved it.

The Beach Boys "Endless Summer".

I spent my lawn mowing money and bought three albums.

Boston-Boston
Judas Priest- Sad Wings of Destiny
Ted Nugent- Free-for-All

Last One?
All that Remains- Madness
