John Williams. Can't go wrong with the man, the myth, the legend.

I seem to remember that Apple got sued by that record label for the name, but the deal was that they would stay away from music. Which they didn't...

First album with my own money was Bob Marley, Legend. It was just after he died, which would make it 1980 I think.

Blistering Barnacles!
Oh ya this takes me back!
I think Thriller was one of the first too... not including 45's of course!

That is a very cool concept album.
Gosh, I can't recall exactly. One of the following:
Duran Duran Seven and the Ragged Tiger
Phil Collins No Jacket Required
Van Halen Jump
Scorpions Love at First Sting
Quiet Riot Condition Critical
I got them all around the same time after I got my walkman. And listened the heck out of each one. Phil Collins is still one of my favorite songwriters--his songs may have sounded popish, but the lyrics were all pretty deep.

First record: Steve Miller Band - Fly Like and Eagle
*First cassette tape: Made my own copy of TV show music using a Fisher Price tape recorder.
*First 8-track: An evangelical giveaway tape promoting Jews for Jesus.
*First reel-to-reel tape: Bootleg copy of Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
First CDs: Cream of Clapton, Return of the Jedi soundtrack, and Beethoven's 9th (purchased on the same trip to the music store).
I'm tempted to do a deep dig into computer backups and see if I can figure out what the first MP3 I downloaded was. 80% sure its something by They Might Be Giants.
Edit: Just realized I ignored the "bought" part for a couple of these. Oops.

I bought two (vinyl!) albums at the same time- Metallica's Master of Puppets and Marillion's Misplaced Childhood. Both bands (and albums!) remain in my music collection today, though I no longer have any vinyl, alas.

Wow, that's a collectors item for sure.
Those two records are a great cross section of the Beatles as a whole. For a band that had 10 years maybe to fill 8 sides of vinyl with great songs is amazing.
