I was 5 or 6 so some Halloween hits that had Monster Mash on it.
No shame, that had some great songs on it. That was actually my first CD, but my first tape was Boyz II Men II.embarrassing, but mine was Coolio, Gangster's Paradise on cassette. lol
my first tape was Boyz II Men II.
AC/DC - Flick Of The Switch LP
Probably Michael Jackson- Dangerous (on cassette). Too expensive to get it on CD in the early 90's. But these days I prefer the Quincy Jones MJ albums- not as heavily produced as Dangerous.For me it was Beastie Boys Licensed To Ill on cassette at Camelot. It came in one of those big plastic anti theft cases with the weird handle thing on it.
I remember I had just gotten one of those yellow Sanyo knock off boom boxes that looked like the Sony Sports model. Until then I was just recording shit off the radio.
Can't say for certain, but I think it was the Top Gun soundtrack.
Michael Jackson's Thriller
Thanks for making me feel old
fuck you
Backstory: Michael Jackson's popularity was blowing, we wore parachute pants and sat at the TV watching his videos on MTV, entranced by his music videos. Begged my dad to buy it for us. It might have been the first cassette purchase for my family, but my dad came back from work one day with the tape and we played the fuck out of it.
Now I need to locate a cassette for nostalgic reasons.
Edit 2: Not sure if they count, but my cousins in Detroit used to dub us tapes all the time, that's how I got introduced to the world of Rap. But I'm thinking this was after Thriller. I remember loving Run DMC and Beastie Boys at a time when we lived in a shit small town and no one listened to that "ghetto" music.
Families don't sit together listening to an album any more, they watch a DVD instead. The VCR changed that.i still clearly remember the family sitting around the TV for MJ's videos for Dangerous even though I must have been like 4
how times have changed roker
Ice-T Original Gangster lol.
