I remember the first vinyl 45 I bought my own self - The Police - Walking on the Moon. Do I still like it? Hell yeah! I also seem to recall buying Adam and the Ants at some point fairly early on - must've got lost somewhere along the line. The best vinyl I had I didn't buy some one gave it to me - it was a 1940 Ella Fitzgerald recording. That I still have. As for cassettes - never really had many of them but I did buy all my Crowded House stuff on tape. Still have them too. Granted they are slightly on the knackered side. First CD, can't really remember but I have a feeling it was probably Catatonia's International Velvet. Or it could have been Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds. One of those two at any rate. All of which I still love.

I realized how things have changed when my 25+year old turntable finally gave up the ghost and I went to Best Buy to look for another one. There were dozens of CD & DVD players, even a few tape decks, and two turntables.
My first LP was either the soundtrack to the Victory at Sea TV series or the 1812 Overture. Got both at the same time, along with my new Sears Silvertone stereo. The first 45 was Pipeline by the Chantays. First 8-track (what's an 8-track, daddy?) was Fire and Rain by James Taylor. First casette and CD? Don't even remember.

(Hearing lots of good, classic tunes at the moment. Feeling kinda nostalgic.)
The thread is officially reopened for business.

Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral. It was 1994 and I was in 4th grade and my mom actually let me buy it. It has the song that goes "I wanna 
you like an animal." I'm still a fan today. I turned out to be a good kid - I just have a dirty mouth.

Ok I'm too young to have been around for vinyl, but I did inherit my mum's collection which consists of UB40, Hendrix, ACDC, Cold Chisel and some really awesome punk rock.
The very first cassette tape that I bought was the Ninja Turtle soundtrack to the very first movie- anyone else remember the song "Spin That Wheel?"
My first CD that *I* bought, with my allowance was Pearl Jam's Vitalogy, I was 12 and I still have it, and it still plays. they have a great song called "Bugs" I love it!
