or
AC/DC - Back in Black

Don't remember

First album I owned was the first KISS album, which I received for my 7th or 8th birthday I think. I don't remember the first album I paid for, but it was probably either Queen's News of the World or Styx's Grand Illusion. I also really loved Ted Nugent and The Beatles. K-Mart was the place.

LP- The Music Machine. Had a great rendition of Tax Man.
45-Turtles Happy Together.

Grand Funk Railroad "Mark Don & Mel" Bought the album when it first came out. Still have it.

Now this could give someones age away. First LP was The Doors. I lived in Manhattan Beach California when I was a kid. A few friends and I (this was around the late 1960's)heard loud music playing in a garage that was closed but it was emanating loudly at the time. I was hooked because I remember hearing the song Crystal Ship being played over and over among others and thought that was a cool song. Months later I heard the same song in a record store when their album was released and I was very surprised and I bought it. I will never forgot that.
