My roommate had a CD player before I did, so I relied on his collection. I did buy a couple of CDs before I had my own. The first one was Sting, "Nothing Like the Sun." I think the second one was The Church, "Starfish."

If we are talking CD only, and prog only, then DT's Images And Words.
 
If we are talking CD only, but any rock-genre, then THE DOORS Greatest Hits (Double album)

Yeah, getting Hounds of Love on CD was a priority for me. I just had to hear 'The Ninth Wave' on the headphones. It didn't dissapoint.

It's funny now after all these years of digital, how much praise there is for the sound of vinyl..

Ah yes, I remember my first experience of Rush on CD. Exit Stage Left and Hemispheres. They sounded mindblowing. Still do..

I can't remember the exact year, Must have been around '85 or '86. I didn't even have a cd player yet but my best friend did so we would listen to our discs at his house. My very first cd purchase was Tull TAAB, followed by Marillion Misplaced Childhood.

[QUOTE=Dragon Phoenix]I can think of two CD's around 1986 that could have been my first:

Schubert's Unfinished Symphony
Paul Simon's Graceland

Both still in my collection - I never get rid of a CD.
 
 
 
I'm the same. If a disc has even the tiniest potential, I'll never throw it out. It's like a library, all additions welcome.

The first CD I bought was Just Like Heaven by Dinosaur Jr. I bought about a dozen CDs before I got myself a CD player.

Not long after that I bought Dream Theater's - When Dream and Day Unite.

Well I was born after the CD player, so I just naturally ended up with my dad's first purchases. Would be impossible to tell which was the first.

The first one that I bought myself with my own money must've been Metallica - Ride the Lightning, I think. Or perhaps Kill 'em All... not sure Ouch
