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

I'm old enough to agree with the idea that 'alternative' just meant anything that wasn't mainstream and covered a whole range of music. I find the way that people try and talk about 'alternative' as a genre in itself a bit weird to be honest.

On that basis, the first album that I bought with my own money was a second-hand copy of 'Road to Ruin' by the Ramones in 1979.

And, much to some's bemusement I'm sure, thanks to a geographical oddity I'm still a dial-up user and have been since 1997!
