dookie came out in 94.

7/11/2006 5:49:10 PM

im not a huge rap person

but i loved going to my older cousin's house and listening to the chronic is his room.

i must have been 8 or 9

7/11/2006 5:51:27 PM

I was 12 and my friend gave me a copy of Doolittle.

The first time I hated HATED HATED it.

The second time, a few months later, I still hated it, but I put it on again immediately for a reason I still don't recall.

The third time, it was like the sky had opened up. Great record.

7/11/2006 5:52:55 PM

i should add weezer's blue album as well

7/11/2006 5:54:33 PM

i wasn't really BLOWN AWAY with an album until ok computer in 10th grade or so.

i did listen to mellon collie and the infinite sadness and the blue album a lot in middle school though.

I hated dookie when I was in 4th grade when it came out. the bitch next door loved and i hated her so maybe that was why.

7/11/2006 6:36:35 PM

definitely metallica - master of puppets

7/11/2006 6:43:38 PM

OK Computer

I remeber buying the album cause I heard one part of Paranoid Android on the radio and read a good review of it in some magazine. Hadn't bought an album in a while and figured why not get it. Best musical decision I ever made. The day I bought it, my parents and I had to go to my grandparents (and of course there was no cd player there) so I stayed in the car the whole evening and listed to the album twice. This is one of those moments I wish I could forget everything and listen to it for the first time again.

My cousin made me a tape copy of Sgt. Pepper's when I was in 5th grade. It was the first music I really got into aside from Billy Joel. A few weeks later, he did it again w/ Melenchoy and the Infinite Sadness. I took that tape everywhere and had my first slow dance to Thirty Three.

My freshman year of high school, I got ahold of Appetite for Destruction and broke the speakers on my parent's computer.

probably "Siamese Dream" in 6th grade, but boy was I into those early GNR records in elementary school

7/11/2006 8:04:24 PM

naughty by nature - naughty by nature

i was about 11 or 12 and a friend brought it on a trip to a state game. the sheer amount of cuss words blew my mind and began my love affair with rap.

looking back, naughty by nature is comparitively clean


oh i also used to put on "shit down" by Live with the volume real low and by door locked

7/11/2006 8:39:19 PM

Nirvana - Bleach

my friend let me listen to negative creep on his walkman at school.

7/11/2006 8:47:14 PM

^^ "Shit Town"?

7/11/2006 8:58:38 PM

sometime in the late 80s...listened to it every day as the sun rose on my paper route

7/11/2006 9:11:26 PM

Haha I used to "dance" all the time to Smooth Criminal. My cousin had it on vinyl.

7/11/2006 9:14:28 PM

it's probably a tie between Metallica's Black Album, Pearl Jam's Ten, and Aerosmith's Get a Grip

7/11/2006 9:17:21 PM

i remember garage days/and justice for all + use your illusions hitting me pretty hard...i remember drawing and listening to the illusions over and over and over...ten was the first album that actually "meant something" to me...as in i could "see me" in the songs

7/12/2006 12:58:57 AM

The first albums I really obsessed over were Ten and Vitalogy, but the ones that really did it for me musically were OK Computer and Ænima.

7/12/2006 1:09:18 AM

everclear's sparkle and fade when I was in the 8th grade.

7/12/2006 1:29:47 AM

I was a late bloomer but: Johnny Cash: Live at San Quentin . . . bought it at the store, got in my truck, and listened to the whole thing before I even pulled out of my parking space. Two key moments: Guitars on Wreck of the Old '97 and the energy you can hear in the audience as JC sings .San Quentin.

Hey, I didn't pick this s/n for no good reason.

I answered OK Computer earlier because it floored me, but the first album I remember loving to pieces was Throwing Copper by Live.

7/12/2006 1:32:21 AM

ADAM SANDLER - "What the hell happened to me" and "They're all going to laugh at you!"

Ok so they're not musical records, but this was the funniest thing Id ever heard up to middle school. I had the sketches memorized and I would play the tapes for friends every chance I got.

7/12/2006 1:53:02 AM

In middle school, the first albums I ever got were 311's self titled and Everclear's "So much for the afterglow." Quality albums.

I never really cared about music until my junior year of HS. The first album I ever bought that made me say "goddamn" was probably the Mars Volta's first album.
