I bought Pearl Jam's "Ten" and Nine Inch Nail's "The Downward Spiral" at teh same time when I was ten or eleven.
both are still classic
no they were not on vinyl, the first vinyl I ever bought was a few years later when I found Minor Threats red LP at a Garage sale.

Captain Beefhart Trout Mask Replica
$0.99 in a cut out bin. I was twelve. Listened to it once, nearly vomited.
Put it on in borebom a few year later and was blown away. Called some friends over and we listened to that record nonstop over and over for like a month, dissecting every note, every nuance, every twist and turn.
Grew a ponytail and went climbing and nothing's been the same since.

Stop Making Sense? I had tapes for a while, so my first vinyl is tough to pin down. Might've picked up that first Clash album the same day.

Johnny Cash -live at San Quentin - I believe it was 1970 and I was ten years old.
Bought it because I thought "A boy named SUe" was awesome. Ended liking the rest of the songs more. Still like Johnny Cash.
Looking back, it seems funny that they "bleeped" the bad word in the boy named sue. It was a different era for sure.

Okay, you made me laugh hard. First record I ever bought was a 45, The Surfaris playing Wipe Out. Couldn't remember what was on the flip side so I googled it...and just finished listening to Surfer Joe. What killed me was how much of that song's lyrics I still remembered. Brought back seventh grade like it was yesterday. Next 45 was Little Deuce Coupe, and getting a surfboard became inevitable.

The first album I ever bought – for a friend’s sister’s birthday. It just came out
First album I thought was really cool. Summer of 1967 I broke my knuckle on fourth of July and had a cast for most of summer. Golden Road was the hit song blaring out on the car radio at the swimming hole on Fancher Creek where I hung out unable to swim because of the cast.
My dad gave this album to me, and I think this began my official record collection. For such a formal and strict man, he sure knew his music. Out of the blue, he later bought me tickets to Stevie Wonder in 1972.
