A Question...

Thinking about the band Queen and concerts from that time got me to thinking about albums. My best friend, Rudy and I had elaborate rituals around buying albums we had saved our meager money for and the first playing of the album. I remember the day we first listened to Queen's "A Night at the Opera" at his house and the time we listened to Dylan's "Desire" at mine. I was entranced with the song "Hurricane." Still am.

What was the first album, tape, CD you bought with your own money? Be honest...
