The First Albums You Ever Owned.

Admit to your awful, terrible, first albums you had as a kid.
1 Yazoo
Upstairs at Eric's

This isn't a terrible first album by any means, but it's the absolute first CD I can ever
remember having. When I was around 5 or 6 my mother gave it to me because I always
wanted to listen to it.
2Tom Petty
Full Moon Fever

Another non-bad album, this is one of the very first records I remember singing along to as a
little kid. My mother also gave me this one, mainly because I wouldn't stop singing Free
Fallin'.
3Will Smith
Big Willie Style

Here's where it all collapsed for a few years. The infectious grooves of Gettin' Jiggy Wit' It and
Miami plagued my families house for what I'm sure seemed like an eternity to my parents.
Between The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Independence Day, I couldn't enough of Will Smith as
a 9 year old.
4Hanson
Middle of Nowhere

My rock bottom record of my childhood. The torturous MmmBop played like a broken record
over and over in every grueling car ride for my parents. I'm pretty sure this one actually
"broke accidentally" after a while.
5Backstreet Boys
Backstreet Boys

Yet another low point in my childhood, boy bands were so damn catchy.
6Beastie Boys
Hello Nasty

INTERGALACTIC PLANETARY, PLANETARY INTERGALACTIC! The Power Rangers nerd in me
was floored by their infamous Intergalactic video, I NEEDED this album. My mother wouldn't
get it for me though because she thought the Beastie Boys were too mature for me. Fate
smiled upon me one day though as I won this CD on the boardwalk Wildwood Crest, NJ. I
don't think I took my headphones off for a week straight, Hello Nasty became my vacation,
the beach was now irrelevant.
7Incubus
Make Yourself

This is where I really picked myself back up and broke away from the "kid music" - I really
liked the album art and begged and pleaded for my mom to get it for me which she obliged
grudgingly because of the parental warning on the cover. I couldn't get enough of this album,
I was obsessed with it and listened non-stop for what felt like a year straight.
8Slipknot
Slipknot

Enter my cousin, the older metalhead black sheep of the family. I was blown away by the
aggression and aural intensity of heavy music which I had this on heavy rotation for a while
and it became the catalyst for my thirst for all things metal for the coming years.
9Gorillaz
Gorillaz

The self titled Gorillaz record was not only a super cool record to me at 13 years old, but it
was also the beginning of a 5 year long anime obsession that was to follow thanks to the
animation style of the Clint Eastwood video.
10Limp Bizkit
Significant Other

This record saw me taking a step back in terms of quality in my musical listening growth,
however it opened me up to the world of rap and hip/hop.
11Eminem
The Marshall Mathers LP

It goes without saying that mother didn't approve of Eminem, but I didn't care in the slightest,
he was the coolest thing my 12 year old ears had ever heard and was easy to get a burned
copy of it at school in exchange for some choice Mondo and Dunkaroos. I even dyed my hair
blonde and wore white tees for a while, sorry mom.
12Sepultura
Chaos A.D.

This was the very first album I actually bought with my own money and without any
supervision over my purchase or parental restrictions. The cover was so damn cool and I HAD
to hear it. This took my fixation on heavy music and solidified it for life. Tracks like
Refuse/Resist, Territory, and Propaganda are still to this day something I jam on a regular
basis.
13Cradle of Filth
Midian

Holy crap, this album cover was EVIL to middle school me and I needed to know what it
sounded like. This was my first exposure to black metal or any of its varieties, and I was
hooked. I immediately saved up as much cash as I could to go out and buy all of the rest of
their albums which led me to Dimmu Borgir and then to black metal proper like Darkthrone,
Mayhem, and Bathory.
14Diabolical Masquerade
Nightwork

Nightwork was my first peak into the underground of the metal world, I found it for a buck in a
used bin at a local record shop and I couldn't resist snagging it. It had such a dark atmosphere
that was leagues beyond what I felt with Cradle of Filth or any of the other black metal I was
acquainted with at the time - corny song titlez and all. Still to this day it's one of my favorite
black metal albums.
15Carcass
Heartwork

Finally, the album that made me want a guitar and made me a for real, lifelong metal fan,
Heartwork. This album shreds from front to back, it's riff city for a solid 46 minutes straight.
To this day it remains in my top 10 albums of all time.
