SEEMS LIKE THE AGE OF 12 IS THE TIME TO START BUYING YOUR OWN ALBUMS...

Hahah this is funny, I bought my first record, well, single it was, when I was only 10 or something, and you see, I was into shortsighted pop, my musical taste was not so defined yet ahaha, the single was

Alicia Kease - I keep on falling
(I don't even know if I write her name well XD)

I feel like such a stupid, you guys all bought great records right away, with me it took a year or 2 :p

The difference between a 10 year old and a 12-13 year old is quite enormous. At 10, you are still a kid, at 12-13 you (think) you are quite the grown-up, as you are entering those wonderful teen years!  I can't remember what I listened to at 10, hurts my brain to try and think about 40 years ago!! I can guarantee you though, it wouldn't have been any sort of "pop" music! So frog_s, don't feel silly, it was quite a "sophisticated" choice for a 10 year old!!

otherwise fully agreed, but personally i'd leave out the word "wonderful".
being 13 was utterly miserable and genuinely nothing but sheer torment, in six (=dozens!) of different ways. and i'd never ever want to re-live that time again. :x

Well, on the topic of kiddie music...my son's first album when he was 8 (ok, he didn't buy it with his own money because he didn't have any, but he specifically requested it as a birthday present) was Californication , Red Hot Chili Peppers. And I got to hear it constantly, several times a day, for at least three months.  :roll:
(I must say I wouldn't have let him have it if he'd spoken English.....some of those lyrics...! :shock:)

I should have put "wonderful" in inverted commas, I was being a little sarcastic. Although, looking at Jankos list above, I think I came out of those years pretty well. None of the above related to me. A charmed life I must have lead!!
ScCCRREEECChhHHhhh....veering off topic again...sorry...

@Robiola..what a groovy little guy, wanting the Chillies!!

Ah...my first album that I purchased was on my 12th birthday in 1982.  Judas Priest, Screaming for Vengeance.

I think that was followed by The Cars, Candy-O

:smth017 Must have missed that one.
Although I have a vague recollection of a pretty cute guy singing "don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Goodie two shoes..." who I think was called Adam Ant... any relation?

yes.. the exact same one and only ( McLaren-formulated I'm sure) Adam Ant.. ( tried his hand at a serious actor decades later, , but bummed!)

Surely you mean "bombed"???

Bummed tends to mean....er....something rather different. :shock:

i've tried to think but i honestly can't remember.
i can very clearly remember almost all the stuff i had on cassettes back then in the beginning of time... i remember that very detailedly, all those silly "compilations tapes" that i used to do etc. but i think all my stuff was cassette copies made from friends' casettes, not originals. **) for the longest time i had all my music like this. i guess i never had any money to really buy anything myself(?). and/or i was also living in the middle of nowhere when i was a kid, far enough from all record stores so i didn't even have much possibilities to buy anything first hand. :? :oops:


**) ah all those lovely multigenerational cassette copies... :oops: i do remember how i had gotten so used to the generated sound on some tapes that i thought the albums were supposed to sound like that - and then later on i bought the original and it was a real disappointment to me, to listen to it and notice that it didn't sound anything at all like i recalled. i remember being annoyed and angry about that - even though i actually should have been happy that i actually got a rather huge upgrade there. :-P
