I bought this on pirate tape when I was 11. Back when I didn't even know what piracy or copyrights was and I bought this purely on the strength of the cover. Don't think I even knew what hiphop was, I might have even thought this was a heavy metal album. Once I pressed play my life was never to be the same. I felt I grew at least two inches in size after listening to this tape (and I'm not talking about height).
Apologies for the formating of that post, I am now unable to edit it.

Mine is probably Boyz 2 Men's first album as it was the first album I could buy with my own money.
So I'll ask again, since I know some of you must have liked music at some point.

Also bought it with my own money ... on pirate tape!
the first two albums I ever bought when I got my first CD stereo for my birthday. They are still in my top five fav albums of all time.
AC/DC - High Voltage

Was this the guy that sold it to you?
I've actually been listening to "1999" a lot recently. It brings me back to yesterday. I could list so many albums, but I'll choose one and say "Ghost Reveries" by Opeth, which I first listened to in late 2007. It really brings me back to that time and then I wonder how it was almost eight years ago.
By Miu Watanabe.
As my sig implies, I'm a big Iced Earth fan, but I've gone on hiatus from them for a while now. I've gone back and listened to a few tracks from their first albums here and there over the last couple of weeks, and each time it makes me wonder why I stopped listening to them. I'm going on a camping trip up north next week, and I plan on bringing all my Iced Earth CDs with me for the drive up. I imagine it'll be quite the mind trip. If I were to pick a specific album as my time machine, it would be this:
It personifies a time when my love for Spawn and power metal was probably at its strongest. Every time I listen to it, I also remember my first time experiencing the album in its entirety in a friend's basement as I indoctrinated him into loving Iced Earth as well.
Listen to Iced Earth and play Doom
When you ilsten to it tkaes you back to the time you first heard it and then listened to it again and again until many years later you know every beat, lick and lyric?
Mine:
I remeber listening to Lady Cab Driver and going... "they can put this on a casette"?
