Pretty sure 15 was the age I was when I got my first CD player. I already had a big tape collection. A lot of the first CDs I got were albums from bands I already liked and couldn’t find on tape. I think my first were

They Might Be Giants - Lincoln
Black Flag - the First Four Years
Dead Milkmen - Beelzebubba
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
The Clash - London Calling
Metallica - And Justice For All
Butthole Surfers - Psychic… Powerless… Another Man’s Sac

I collected more over the next few years and had one of those big dumb towers that I took with to college only to have my apartment broken into and the entire thing stolen, maybe 50 CDs. ☹️

This is the best collection posted so far and pretty close to my tape collection. Fun story about those Dead Milkmen albums: I friggin LOVED (and still do to this day) that band but didn't have anything by them. My uncle was a garbage collector that was constantly picking cool poo poo out of the trash and came over one day and was like "hey bud, you like all that weird music right? Here ya go." and gave me Big Lizard in my Backyard, Beelzebubba, and Eat Your Paisley along with MOD-Gross Misconduct and Surfin' MOD and an live Anthrax VHS.

Dead Milkmen are stupid and cool. Big Lizard is a classic. They were oddly enough the first band I really noticed what the bass was doing, their bass player was great. I ordered a t shirt from an insert in one of their tapes (pre internet) and it finally came like six months later.
