CDs were a "new" technology following my vinyl, 8-tracks and cassette tapes and I would likely be repurchasing an album that I already had on one of these earlier formats. I remember the first 45 vinyl disc I bought . . . Nowhere Man (Beattles) in 1966.

I got Mrs. Powderfinger a CD player that came with a set of 80 "free" classical music CDs for Christmas around 1988. From a catalog of some sort. The CDs were pressed in Germany and high quality.
I teased her with "I got you 81 things for Christmas."

My next purchase was GNR Appetite For Destruction.

The first CD I can remember being mine was Cracked Rear View by Hootie and the Blowfish. The first CD's I can remember buying with my own money were for the bus ride home from basic training. Green Day American Idiot and Ashanti. Those were the best ones they had at the PX.

AC/DC Back In Black

I also bought Mozart’s Requiem at the same time, but I made the last ring up AC/DC first, so I could say it was my first CD.

I don't remember. My parents bought one in the early 80s their sansui stero system and I was probalby 10-12 years old. I have bought very few CDs in my life. I still listen to 1/4" tape on a reel to reel a lot however. Good tape at 15 inches per second sounds really good.

Brothers in arms seems to be leading so far. My first post with Sting, is surprising that more of you didn't hit on that.
What a great album and superb engineering.

First CD I ever HAD was ZZ Top: Eliminator.
First one I bought was Metallica Master of Puppets.

Before we got cd players installed in cars, we recorded my friend's older brother's vinyl onto Maxwell (the best) tapes =)

That CD was "Nothing like the sun" by Sting. What a masterpiece. Still have it in my collection.

Still have it, and listen to that album regularly.
It was the soundtrack of my college summers.

Candlebox. I got my first CD player about the time you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing "Far Behind" and I was young, impressionable, and not sick of that song yet. The second one was Weezer's blue album. After that, an assortment of grunge, NIN, GNR, etc. Basically the late 80's/early 90's music I grew up on. I still have all my old CD's in a box somewhere. I finally got rid of the earlier cassette tapes maybe 5-6 years ago. Anything that was worth keeping I also had on CD. Kind of weird to think that I now have CD's that are 30 years old and Kurt Cobain has been dead longer than he was alive.

I felt totally ripped off 20 years later when I found out that the version of Suzie Q that I'd always known was cut way short, after picking up a 12" single of it.

I didn’t have a clue. So I looked at the list of the earliest releases and everyone I owned was a vinyl record. Not an early adopter I guess as I has a nice DUAL turntable, a PHASE LINEAR AMP and HEIL AMT-1 speakers and a REVOX 77
