Rumors was an album where the members sing about their problems with one another, while the others accompany them in the song.

well... the title track is a bit Iconic... and even with all the controversies, Michael was a cultural Icon as much as some may not want to admit it.....
my first Purchase? well, not counting the "alf" 45 ("Melmack Girls") I got in a Burger King Kids Meal, was a Genesis CD.. "We Can't Dance" (MY first CD... i was 11)
The Tunes were catchy, they had Funny-ish videos.... what are you gonna do?

+1
Also, why is that hard to admit?
There were amazing hits on that album.
IMO, no other album was nearly as popular as that one (for MJ at least).

First album?
KISS - Alive on CD @ Kmart when I was 12ish? So around 2004
Reckon I probably still have it somewhere at my parents house.
I don't buy CDs as much as I used to, I do tend to support my local record stores though as over the years I have built quite an extensive collection of vinyl and cassette.
The last thing I bought was Motown 1's

Beach Boys - Endless Summer. My sister had just bought a record, some top 70s hits thing and I had to get one, too. Now being in the single digits of age and three years younger than her, I was in the mind frame if she got something, it was only fair that I could get something. Parents shot it down. I pitched a fit. They gave in.
I'd heard the BB at my neighbors and was blown away by them. Surfin' USA was my favorite back then.
Got to visit the milk crates at home to check in. American Graffiti double album might be the one.
Just can't recall without sifting through them but I know I used to have a flip-open record player and some 45's in middle school years / early 1970's. 45 rpm's were my first round of music, George Harrison my Sweet Lord, Tommy James and the Shondells, stuff of that era. I think I tended to like the top 40 stuff my parents listened to in the mid late 60's and early 70's.
I was a bit of a movie soundtrack fan for a while too. Seems like by luck of the draw, I had a few good picks through the years. A Star is Born- Kristofferson/Streisand, FM the movie soundtrack, Urban Cowboy, American Graffiti.
I sold Hi Fi equip for a few years (1979 - 1983) , my enjoyment of music was somewhat taken for granted in a way I didn't have to buy or collect a lot of music to enjoy it on a daily basis. Made lots of cassette hits tapes though.

I don't quite remember the exact first album that I bought but, I believe it was Barbra Streisand/My Name is Barbra Two(1965), for my eldest sister for her 25th birthday. I wasn't buying LPs for myself at that time as I didn't have anything to play them on. But the first album for me was The Moody Blues/ In Search of the Lost Chord ~ 1968-'69.

I still have that on 8-track .... but nothing to play it on.
It was one of my main cruisin' "staples" in my 1974 Chevy C10...
