@GY3R/T  -  the crazy would of arther brown.

@A.Gramz.    YES !!!     We have a winner !!!     This Guy was the original Alice Cooper. This one hit wonder went all the way to #2 in the charts in 1968 only to be beat by,  "Hey Jude".     I will donate a 1000 points to the prize shop in your name.   
      I'll try to link song from U tube. https://youtu.be/h56bfUxY0PM

Funny how perceptions go ....... looking back Iron Maiden is a much more solid influence than MJ  Maiden is relaively clean , solid band , no scandles really on the other hand MJ 

Definitely on that one.  I always take note that on the "easy listening" stations they will now play bands such as Guns and Roses...


My "album" would be Pink Floyd The Wall.

Fall 1973 I went to the record department of EJ Korvettes and purchased my first three albums with my own money.

Dark Side of the Moon, Fragile by Yes and Living in the Past by Jethro Tull. Many nights listening to them on my old Koss headphones, and yep I still have them.

Can't remember exactly what the first album I bought was but I'm sure it was metal (probably Judas Priest, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath) but I still have every one of them, well except for the ones that warped or a friend borrowed promising to return and you never saw it again....

I saw Judas Priest in your city in, I think, 1985. Bon Jovi opened for them. Runaway was his only hit back then so he played it twice.

I can't add a nice picture like most here, but the first album was Led Zeppelin I and the first 45 was Aretha Franklin's Respect. Side note about Arthur Brown- I finally got a radio for my 58 Dodge Crusader and was hooking it up in my grandfather's garage and once it warmed up and squealed for a few seconds, the first thing I heard out of it was Arthur Browns Fire.

I bought a 45 by Billy Joel, called the entertainer.  Thought I was buying the sound track for the movie that was out at the same time.   It was my unplanned introduction into Rock and Roll.

My first (all bought at the same time) were America (America), master of Reality (Black Sabbath), and Fragile (Yes).

I listened to them constantly (wanted my money's worth).  After several military moves I lost them.

Today's music just doesn't compare.

My first album was a K-Tel The Rock Album.  I still have that in my head from 1980.  I was ten.  I remember the ride home with my mom and brother.  We came across a car accident.  A pickup truck drove into the back of a parked semi trailer.  Dude hit is so hard, it knocked a cast off of his previously broken arm.  Weird to see that laying there.  They said he survived. Looked horrible.   Especially to a ten year old.  I remember this because I so badly wanted to get home to listen, and didn't want to have to stop because of all the police and ambulances blocking the road.  I just wanted to listen to music.  It was my first dabble into rock music.  Country was played in my parents house.  Now I have nearly 400 concert stubs.  I have spent a fortune on music since I bought this album.

    BTW, I am a huge Iron Maiden fan.  It wasn't long before I was listening to them and anything hard and metal.  I went punk for many years too.  Iron Maiden is putting out music now much better than they ever did.  If you have a chance, listen to anything since 2000 and it is absolutely awesome.  And for the Black Sabbath fans, they put out an album in 2013 called "13" and it would be hard to know it wasn't recorded in 1970.  It is one of my most favorite of theirs. 
    I better no get going on this or I will be here all night.

Quiet Riot < metal health  was my first tape and introduction into metal.
Saw Maiden last year.  Going to Slayer in a few months.  I too have spent waay too much money on music. I've seen something like 30 concerts this year already.

  Tell me about it.   
But they have demon artwork.  Can't be good.  Better to look like a girl with makeup on, right.   

They now understand.
