God Shuffled His Feet by Crash Test Dummies
Had always used records and first song on the CD starts with the sound of a record skipping |
|
|
Yep.
It was a set of Juke Box Rock of 50's and 60's music that I bought back in 1989, I still have the set (although all of my CD music is now ripped for streaming). |

First CD.
First album at an early age -- Elton John Greatest hits. |
|
Some Puff Daddy single for a couple of dollars at Walgreens when I was 12 or 13.
|
|
Metallica black album was the first cd I bought, paied like 20$ for it. Was thinking should I really buy this I could get like 4 tapes for this price.
|
|
|
First cassette was Garth Brooks.
Not sure about first cd, but I’d guess Bush. They were the first band I really liked when I turned to Rock/Grunge. |
|
Americana/The Offpsring, specifically "Why Don't yo.?" and Pretty Fly
|
|
Black Crows. I bought it when I bought a CD player so I couldn’t afford another CD until the next month.

Beethoven Symphony #9. The music that defined the CD format for all other recordings.
From Wikipedia: The creators of the CD originally aimed at a playing time of 60 minutes with a disc diameter of 100 mm (Sony) or 115 mm (Philips). Sony vice-president Norio Ohga suggested extending the capacity to 74 minutes to accommodate the recording of Wilhelm Furtwängler conducting Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at the 1951 Bayreuth Festival. The additional 14-minute playing time subsequently required changing to a 120 mm disc. |

A compilation of movie themes by various orchestras. It was designed to show what digital sound could do. It really gave a system a workout and my Heathkit AR15 amp and Wharfdale speakers were up to the task.
Then I started bulding a library of Telarc discs. |

Quoted: I might be aging some of you but after buying my first CD player and my first CD it was quite incredible. That CD was "Nothing like the sun" by Sting. What a masterpiece. Still have it in my collection. View Quote I think it was Orchestral Music from the Ring, by Wagner/Szell. |

Didn't buy it but got my boom box with cd player and MC Hammer hammer time cd

My dad was a big Audiophile. Had a stereo system that all my friends creamed themselves over. I was never allowed to touch it.
For Christmas one year, probably 84 or 85, he got me a Toshiba portable CD player. I believe it was the second portable to hit the market after Sony. It had a detachable battery pack that used C batteries and a carry case. Attached File It also had a wedge shaped AC adapter base it could connect to for home use. Attached File First CD I bought for it was Metallica's Ride the Lightning. I used the "line out" jack to plug it into the "AUX" RCA jacks on the back of my Boom Box or to one of those cassette tape adapters in my car. |

After buying an early CD Player (at Ollie Fretter's Electronic Thing in Detroit) I also came home with 2 CD's.
Bryan Adam's CUTS LIKE A KNIFE Bruce Springsteen's BORN TO RUN The fidelity of the Bryan Adams CD was amazing, but the much older Springsteen was so hiss-filled that it was almost worse than the vinyl album. That was when I learned to read CD's to look for DDD (digital recording equipment, digital mastering, digital media), to get the best sound quality. |

Living Colour - Vivid. Didn’t have a cd
player but my college room mate did. |
|
