First album: Styx, Paradise Theater*
First cassette: The Smiths, Strange Ways Here We Come
First CD: The Police, Ghost in the Machine
First Concert: The Police, Synchronicity Tour, 1983 (Openers: Berlin, The Fixx, Thompson Twins)
*If we're being technical, the first album I ever purchased was The Monkees. When I was seven or eight the show was in re-runs on weekday afternoons, and they always advertised the album that you could send away for. I finally convinced my mom to buy it for me, waited the ETERNITY it took for it to arrive, then wore the vinyl out. A couple years later, when I was ten, I begged for a KISS album for Christmas. My parents took one look at the album artwork and song list on the back, and bought me a cheesy compilation LP called "Love Rock" instead. I still remember the opening track -- Lou Rawls, "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine." Anyway, I choose not to count any of that.
