The Beatles - Rubber Soul. And it was in the 90's, not the 60's.

This is embarrasing but I had to post. It was Olivia Newton-John's "Come on Over".
Now before you beat me up too much I was also 9, and I am a female, and I'm ashamed to say- I still enjoy her version of "Jolene".

Sugar Sugar by the "Archies" |
This is the first song I remember liking. It was No. 1 when my brother was born, I'd just turned 3.
I didn't buy my first LP until I was about 13. It was Looney Tunes by Bad Manners. Next was Fly By Night by Rush and Deepest Purple...
The first single I bought was Please Don't Touch by Motorhead and Girlschool.

My absolute first (with parents' money) was Simon and Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence. Great stuff!
Next I bought a single (45) : Sugar Sugar by the "Archies" (Tommy Jamnes & the Shondells, in reality). Sugar sweet.
First album with my own money was Lighthouse - One Fine Morning (Canadian brass rock that didn't age well with me, but not too bad for a kid).
After that came various rockin' CCR singles, then Beatles 67-70, then albums by the likes of the Who, Uriah Heep, Alice Cooper, Rainbow, Zep, etc.
(My older sister had tons of music, including prog, all that time.)
Then came buying PROG! (Genesis & Yes first, but rapidly expanding outward.)

first album... like *first*? well, I guess it was one of those comicbook action 45s, where you read along with the narration from the record... Power Records I think they were called, pretty neat
for music it was Hemispheres, and the Kinks Give the People What They Want

Don't kill me, but my very first album, when I was a little boy, was Gorillaz's Gorillaz!
I still enjoy the catchy "Clint Eastwood" today!
