What's the first album you truly fell in love with?

Chameleon in the shadow of the night - Peter Hammill

 

Beatles '65

 

This wasn't the first album I fell in love with, but is was an early love. I can still listen to it and find it an excellent driving album.

 

Gorillaz s/t.

 

Meet the Beatles

 

Probably Queen's debut album.

 

Then, it really surprises me that you "reposted" it.

 

Sounds like I am reading my own post. Bravo, great choice!

 

Have mercy! I played the heck out of the first song, Thunderbird. I still love that solo.

 

Yes “Fragile
I first heard it on a bootleg 8-Track, the ones with the day glow colors which shone under black lights. Anyone else remember those? Bought at the local head shop when I was 14. (Don’t ask!)

 

Monkees' Greatest Hits

 

From the other posts, looks like I'm a bit younger than most here on the forum. But I played this cassette tape over and over again... The album still holds up strong after all these years.

 

Band on the Run

 

U2 live under a blood red sky

 

This is a really tough one. When I was really young I had albums by Bill Cosby, Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, Simon and Garfunkel, and James Taylor, not to mention the Monkees even earlier, who I finally lost interest in as I entered my teens. Loved my early Monkees albums, laughed with Cosby, played the second side of Inna-Gadda exclusively, grooved to the Wolf, both S&G and JT spoke to my sensitive side. I guess the Monkees were my first love, but they released a lot of LPs in short succession, so I won't say I fell in love with any one record in particular.

 

That is an incredibly offensive album cover.

 

Bridge Over Troubled Water very closely followed by Abbey Road. Some 40 years later I am still playing both of them on a regular basis.

 

Without a doubt it was Depeche Mode's 1987 album Music for the Masses. Depeche Mode in CinemaScope. I was 12 years old when I first heard this album, in around '89, and still today I listen to it with exaltation. It's a masterpiece.

 

This was a special album to me in Jr. High also. I still play it a couple of times a year, and it still sounds as good as ever. Takes me right back to the fun I was having in those days.

 

SHE'S JUST MY STYLE, by Gary Lewis And The Playboys.

I had this on 8-track when I was a kid. My friends and I would listen over and over. We thought it was the funniest thing ever.

 

Kimono My House by Sparks. Played it to death when I got it in 1974. Many happy hours trying to work out what Russell Mael was singing about

 

God....I hate myself for saying this.............but it's another Beatles nod. Listen, I refuse to pamper to the myth, but the truth is the one I played over & over as a 6 year old in 1964 was 'A Hard Day's Night'. I liked it far better than any of the other albums my parents played. Guess I fell in love with it. It's still my favourite of theirs to this day.

 

My first LP that I purchased was CCR Cosmos factory and I like it a lot, not my best one but the first one, that I will never forget...
