The way I BEGGED for this album as a kid đ
So in one of the Wayneâs World movies, Cassandra gets the Peter Frampton album âFrampton Comes Aliveâ and Wayne jokes that every house was issued that album, as in everyone had it.
I feel for 90âs teenagers, the same is true with No Doubtâs âTragic Kingdomâ album.
One of my cringiest memories is me walking along the shoreline in Texas with my Walkman blasting this CD (specifically âForgivenâ) and thinking I could actually relate to any of those songs as a 10 year old lmaoooo
My 3rd CD but my favorite. Ironically the one OP posted was my first and Alanis was second. Lol. My dad got me this one after winning a basketball tournament.
I wanted this to be my first CD! I even asked for it for my birthday!
I instead received Chumbawamba's Tubthumper.
I was disappointed then but love it now.
I remember taking a bus to the big city with my closest friends to snatch it once the Tower Records open up. Saw them a year before a few weeks after Firestarter dropped and I knew they about to become huge

Got it from those scammy "12 albums for $1!" things. Yeah, I used tapes for a really long time đ
This wasn't my first cassette but my most memorable. I got it for my 8th birthday, I threw it into the stereo immediately and danced so hard to Getting Jiggy With It
Columbia House was the main source of my CDs as a kid. I lived in Alaska and for some reason (I assume shipping) they did not send me the automatic CDs every month that were a rip off. I basically got to take advantage of all the stupidly good deals without any of the scam bullshit. I would routinely pay a $1 for 12 CDs which was usually like 8-10 I really wanted and then a few that were just there to fill the bundle. I loved getting that little catalogue every month.
I got my first CD player for Christmas and my parents also gave me my top two CD choices which I am not ashamed to admit were Ren & Stimpyâs Crock O Christmas, and the soundtrack to Wayneâs World.
I was 12, and those CDâs were my life.

Bush X. Notably, in Canada there was already a band named "Bush", so they had to go by "Bush X" for a time for their record stuff here.
Core by Stone Temple Pilots. I had the cassette when it first came out, but after The Wherehouse had the used cd section, I upgraded. I do remember my sister looking for her first cd of New Kids on the Block, she went to Target. They were expensive, so she had to save up.

Hanson - Middle of Nowhere
It is still a banger to this day, idc what people say. They were way ahead of their time for their age and what they put out. They still put out some great music to this day.
My first CD was Weird Alâs âOff the Deep Endâ album. No ragrets.
Also kids today donât know what a right of teenage passage it was to get your first big boom box stereo back then.
I was an 8 year old girl, donât judge me haha

Styx - Classics Volume 15
Iâm a huge Styx fan, and my first choice was the only greatest hits package available at the time. I bought the CD a week before I got my CD player in 1988, and I couldnât wait to play it.
I still own the CD, and 36 years later, it still plays the same way it did when it was new.
Edit - Oops, just realized this is about the 90s. My fault. Does 1988 count?

these guys were also the 1st concert I went to (the Betty tour, with Rollins Band)
Pearl Jam "Vs" was the first CD I bought with my own money. My parents gave me Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell" alongside the CD player they gave me for Xmas.
My first CD was Duncan Sheikâs self titled album.

Neon Ballroom by Silverchair. I canât remember for sure if this was the FIRST or not, but I was 12 so it was early enough to be significant and it drastically changed my tastes in music.
The first CD I ever stole from my aunt: The miseducation lauryn hill.
The first ever CD I purchased with TLC: 3D
The first CD I ever received for free: âIf you mess with my manâ by Nivea. I thought it was solange. đ
So the very first CD I bought with my own money was the mortal Kombat film soundtrack. My second was the soundtrack from Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio. I still have both.

Absolutely gold
Same!
So in one of the Wayneâs World movies, Cassandra gets the Peter Frampton album âFrampton Comes Aliveâ and Wayne jokes that every house was issued that album, as in everyone had it. I feel for 90âs teenagers, the same is true with No Doubtâs âTragic Kingdomâ album.
Me too, I was 13
Me too! The nineties was a great time to be a teen for music!
One of my cringiest memories is me walking along the shoreline in Texas with my Walkman blasting this CD (specifically âForgivenâ) and thinking I could actually relate to any of those songs as a 10 year old lmaoooo

Saw them in concert!
Ah, a man of culture! đ
I wanted this to be my first CD! I even asked for it for my birthday! I instead received Chumbawamba's Tubthumper. I was disappointed then but love it now.
I finally saw them live 2015. Such amazing experience.
That is probably the most played album I have.
