What was your first BJ album?
 

I think this should be an interesting poll. What was the first BJ studio album you got? I know that a number of people probably started with a compilation (mine was One Wild Night), but if so, what was the first studio album you got after that?

Mine was These Days. As I said in the other thread, that wasn't actually through choice ... I probably would have picked Crush first. But my aunt, who was and still is a big fan, brought it for me and told me it was their best album. For a while I was a bit bewildered by it, it didn't contain any of the big hits (I vaguely new SFTP and SBTI from One Wild Night, but hadn't payed much attention to them), and sounded really different to what I'd come to expect from the likes of It's My Life / Prayer / Wanted / Bad Name. It was only much later, when I'd picked up more of the albums and got a better idea of their wider catalogue that I began to appreciate it as a truly amazing album, and along with NJ and KTF, one of their best

Me, Keep the faith, was about 7 at time i think. My Uncle gave me a hi fi system of his and let me have a few c.d's of his collection. Only reason i chose ktf was that the cover looked cool to me at the time! Obviously i took very keenly to bon jovi and @ the time was when these days was released, my uncle brought me this and from then on he got me a new bj album every week or 2! Im so glad i picked that cd now:p

good story your aunt seems cool, lol

Hmm, can't even remember my first studio album. This Left Feels Right was my first though :-|

Well, my first was actually the Young Guns II soundtrack...on cassette of all things. But my first proper BJ album was Keep The Faith (and that was on CD...lol)

Bought Crossroad first, but first studio album I bought was Crush.

After that I just picked them up in any order.

Bought Crossroads in 94 as first album. And the first studioalbum was the mighty These Days!

Lost Highway about a week after it was released. I had no idea what I was starting when I decided to go over to Target and buy it! :lol:

What he said!!
