Def leppard - On Through The Night
I was around 9 years old and my da took me and my brother to go buy some cassettes, our first music to choose for ourselves. I had heard def leppard on the MTV (photograph and rock of ages) and I wanted that but I got this instead. Being just 9 years old I did not get the right one. either way, I listened to this album endlessly, as only small children can enjoy an album. My brother got Twisted Sister STAY HUNGRY, which had a much cooler cover.

 

Def leppard - PYROMANIA
After a few weeks I went to the K marty (they used to sell vinyl records at K Mart, hell, they used to sell them EVERYWHERE) with my mom and got this album, which i would play endlessly on my dad's stereo. My favorite album for about three months until....

 

Quiet Riot - METAL HEALTH
Being a child of the MTV, I bought this around age 9 or 10, and it was fucking AWESOME. I loved this album so much. Quiet Riot were my favorite band for a few years. I liked the bombast!

 

Van Halen - 1984
In music class in 5th grade on fridays we could bring in records to listen to and a kid brought in his older bro's vinyl of this and we listened to a bit before the teacher decided it was too much for young kids, which of course made me want to go get it and absorb it and love it. I fucking wore this album out!!!!

Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
Another one my 5th grade music teacher would not play. I bought this and loved the satan stuff. LOVED the satan stuff and their crazy ass look.

You're only 5 years older than me I think so not that much, but I guess it does make a pretty big difference music-wise. Great albums by the way!
