Remember cassette tapes?
The joy of winding up loose tape with pencils. Getting them stuck in the tape deck in your car and having to listen to some mix tape an ex gave you for six months until you pried it out with a butter knife. Hitting ‘record’ on your stereo and pirating music off the radio. Man, those were the days. An MP3 doesn’t get messed up when you leave it in the sun too long!
Anyway … we posted the question “What was your first cassette tape?” here at All Terrain HQ. Here are the some of the results:
- Huey Lewis & The News “Sports”
- Cheap Trick “Live at Budokan”
- Lisa Loeb “Stay”
- Ace of Bass “All That She Wants”
- REO Speedwagon “Hi Infidelity”
- Metallica “Kill ‘Em All”
- Bangles “Different Light”
- Desiree “You Gotta Be”
- Billy Joel “Piano Man”
- Journey “Escape”
- Def Leppard “Hysteria”
- Yes “Fragile”
What was yours?
