Re: the first album you really loved in your life

Wow... I'm told I sang along to the beatles a lot... and I was a (yes, please laugh because it IS funny!) a 'Partridge Family' fan at the young age of ten or so...
I guess the definition is a little different here but the first music I ever bought with my own money was the soundtrack album to 'Live and Let Die' on a cassette tape...
I liked some of the stuff my mother played at that age too- the soundtracks to 'Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Hair". We ended up with the first Santana album and 'Who's Next', those definitely got a lot of play.

When punk showed up, though, that I really got excited about...
DEVO and the Buzzcocks and the Cramps, etc...
Before that it seemed like everything was music of a generation that wasn't really mine- like I was expected to revere a bunch of old hippies that left high school ages before me. Not that I didn't respect the best of that, and of course some of it is still tops in any era. But that energy of the latter seventies and very early eighties was really fantastic for music.
