The Go-Go's "Beauty and the Beat." I was in 3rd grade and had to save up my allowance to buy the cassette. I think from that day forward, every dime I earned as a kid went into music. Well, music and hair care supplies. It was the 80s after all.

Do The Cars count?
If not, then I would have to say Devo. That would have been the Christmas of 1979. I remember getting their second album as a Christmas present (I wanted their first Q: "Are we not Men") but was happy again after listening to it.

Talking Heads:77 was also the earliest I remember owning. I did also have several BeBop Deluxe albums, though I never considered that New Wave.
