A little after that would've been Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet and Stryper's To Hell with the Devil. (All cassettes. My parents thought vinyl records in 1986/1987 were a waste of money. )
I still think "Calling on You" is a pretty good song.
Steve Vai is superhuman
SWW is 10/10
Stryper were cheesy but could play and write. COY was good, I was partial to Free. Haven’t listened to them in years.

Re: Who was your 1st?
A friend and I would go car shopping after school and steal the jocks stuff. We didn't have anything against them, but they were the only ones still at the school. You would be surprised by how much metal was still in small town high schools, or at least that one in 1994.Bono Nettencourt wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 10:14 pmFrom a store, or another person?Wednesday 13 Fan wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 1:32 pm Defenders of the Faith....1994 but I stole that one so I'm not sure that counts.

I was going to say that it mightve been tough finding a copy of that in a record store in 94.Wednesday 13 Fan wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 3:41 amA friend and I would go car shopping after school and steal the jocks stuff.

The U.S. Sweet single that had Ballroom Blitz on one side and Fox on the Run on the other.

Re: Who was your 1st?
Didn't need to get my own albums for a while because my parents had a great - combined, later separate - collection: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, CSNY, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, Joe Cocker, etc.
Started getting my own vinyl albums when I was around 10. American Fool and Toto IV were two of the first, but I can't remember the exact order. Synchronicity was my first cassette, quickly followed by Pyromania and Let's Dance. You can thank the Sony Walkman - a blue WM-4, I believe - for the change in format.

Re: Who was your 1st?
My first album was Partridge Family "Sound Magazine". I was 9 at the time. Then I was able to get "The Partridge Family Album" and "Up to Date." There are some really good 70's soft rock / pop songs on those Partridge albums. I still listen to them occasionally. Later I got into Linda Ronstadt and Eagles. My first hard rock album was "Toys in the Attic" because I loved "Walk This Way." It was on the radio every hour. Aerosmith propelled me into hard rock and metal.
