What year? How old were you?
Also with the advent of digital download, when is last time you bought a music CD?

1986, age 28:
I still buy CD's. You can get some great used CD's really cheap.

I bought my first CD in 1983, was a sophomore in HS. Rush - Moving Pictures. I actually had to go to Atlanta to get it as the local music stores did not yet carry them. I think I paid $25 for that first CD.
I still buy CDs as well. I rip all of them to have them digitally, but like having them physically as well.

1990 Sophomore in HS. I joined the craze a little late since I had to buy stuff like that with my own money.

Now, my music is "Burned" onto Cds. The old stand-bys - Dylan, Beatles, Stones, etc.

That's where I'm behind the times. I'm about 80% of the way through ripping them all finally and am finding some great stuff I haven't listened to for more than a decade. I'm up to about 30 GB on the hard drive now. Should have done this a long time ago.

1987 or 1988, it was a Zappa/Mothers twofer, I was around 29 or 30. I had (still have) a large vinyl collection, so I was late to the game. Today, I still buy CD's, I am not much on down loading, I still believe in the 'old school' way of a band goes into the studio & records an album worth of music. Although most of what I buy is old stuff remastered with extra tracks.

First one I bought myself. Got 20 bucks for mowing the lawn and taking out the trash. I was 11 when I bought it.

'86-'87? Found it in a sale bin at Kmart for $8.99...cheap for a new CD back in the early days. Thought I struck gold!
