text: what was the first record/tape/cd you ever owned? how old were you? mine was bon jovi's slippery when wet. i guess i was 8 or 9 at the time. shortly thereafter i got the soundtrack to back to the future and a huey lewis tape (bad news boys). first 8-track: i think it was by steppenwolf. i don't remember how old i was.  first record: `chipmunk rock' by alvin and the chipmunks. i was about 7.  first cassette: `seventh son of a seventh son' by iron maiden. i was about 13.  first cd: don't remember- it was either a classical compilation, a broadway play, or billy joel. i was about 22.
