What was your first album? (alternative, indie, punk, rock)

I have no idea... I guess the first alternative album I bought was probably Blood Sugar Sex Magick. First indie album, I don't know. I remember buying Bleach at a pretty young age.

And it's simply a lie to say that there aren't independent bands anymore, by the way. I can think of plenty of things I listen to that have been produced and released entirely by the band or on very very small labels that I can absolutely gaurantee have no ties to major labels (as in they don't use distribution companies, they do everything themselves). Also, I won't lie and say I know that much about record labels and how they could tie into the major ones, but what about labels like Jagjaguwar? Or the Beggars Group? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't know they had ties.
