    It was in 2002, when I was 11 years old and I save money during 3 months. It was the only thrash metal CD I bought but it is an absolutely gem. I liked more than Roots.

    I think it was the Hits of Simon and Garfunkel performed by Kings Road. $1.99

    As a P2P sharing generation person, not until 2017 where I grabbed a handful of favorites on LP, so I was 20

    In fairness - I had no interest in albums until I was 14, and didn't get into the older stuff until 16, regardless I'm shocked

    Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 and Elton John's Greatest Hits were the first two, in 1976/77 when I was about 11 years old.... Wish I knew what happened to 'em, and the others.

    Nice!
    The picture I shared you was my third album, I think bought them in 2003 or 2004. Such a great recopilation.

    My very first album I bought with my own money was in July 1969, the 5th Dimension's The Age of Aquarius. I still have it.

    this album tends to get dismissed by some people, even some Clash fans, since it had the hits on it, but I think it's their second best album after London Calling
