The first album you remember buying

My first paycheck I received from Baskin-Robbins at the Four Seasons Mall went to purchase three albums:
Kiss- Destroyer
Kiss - Live!
ELO - ELO

But I always had a constant supply of free 45s as a child throughout the 60s and 70s because my dad owned a bar and I always got the Jukebox castoffs when they fell from adequate playing. So any popular hit of country, rock, and pop, I got 2-3 months after it fell from the charts.
KISS ALIVE!
 
Micahel Jackson's Thriller was the first album I had that wasn't a kid's record. Also remember the first cassette I bought was Run DMC's debut record. I think the first CD I had was Garth Brook's Ropin the Wind.

Judas Priest- Screaming for Vengeance.
Great album. My friends and I hanging out after school would be glued to the TV when MTV would play this video....when he belts out "COMIN' AW YEAHH" and the dude's head blows up in semi slow-mo, we just thought that was badass. We were only 11, but it was just so cool and we had never seen anything like that before 😀
 
The first music I remember buying was the single for Joy Ride by Roxette. The first full CDs I bought was those old things where you got 4 CDs for a penny. With that, I got Automatic for the People by REM, Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins, and then the Alan Jackson and Crash Test Dummies CDs.
