    8-tracks are pretty modern stuff, they didn't become popular until the late 60s.

    My first music was a 45, but as kids we still listened to the family 78 collection.

    First CD I ever owned was an early Jay Z album. I remember having to hide it from my parents.

    I bought it the first day it came out. I loved his Cameo from the Nutty Professor album. Put it on at work at sbarros Washington Square and was bumping it in the back

    Cassette: John Cougar Mellencamp - Scarecrow (stolen from UCD at a tender age of 3 or 4 for my Fisher-Price cassette player).

    Followed shortly thereafter by a burned cassette: Tom Petty on one side, The Byrds on the other; and the Cocktail soundtrack (which also came with a new, compact Sony boom box for my bday).

    I believe both the Kingsmen and Paul Revere and the Raiders were from Portland. The Raiders played at our senior prom.

    The cassette era brought me into jazz: Spyro Gyra, Grover Washington Jr., George Benson, Joe Sample, David Sanborn.....just to name a few.

    I know you’re not supposed to quote your own post and respond, but fun fact about that little Sony boom box/radio: as a big Duke fan, I was outside shooting hoops, hanging with UCD and a couple neighbors when Laettner hit “the shot” heard on that little boom box.

    Z100.

    remember when z100 said it was going off the air in like 93/94? It went silent for like 30 seconds then came back as the “new” Z100?
