Tape I think was No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom.

I actually remember the CD less. Green Day - Nimrod?

I bought Prince and the New Power Generation’s Love Symbol on tape in early 1993. That’s the first time I remember buying an album.

No idea what my first tape was. Probably something Michael Jackson. I know I had Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em...fair chance it's in a shoebox somewhere still.

First 8 track I got was Led Zeppelin 1.

We had an 8 track player in this old rear end van that had a radio that didn’t work but you could play 8 tracks without problem.

I’m not that old, though. I’m more of the cassette tape generation.

My first CD was probably jock jams or some poo poo. I had awful taste in music as a kid, minus my love of Johnny Cash and the like.

I'm fairly certain that my first CD was Monty Python's Instant Record Collection. :downs:

I definitely remember listening to and memorizing Songs In The Key Of Springfield when I was a kid, like 9 or 10.

Did you have that dope matching hat to go with it

I stole my sisters No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom and Green Day - Dookie CDs

I believe my first in-store CD purchase was the Venga Boys. Don’t loving @ me. I still pump that poo poo. Also Rollergirl aka Nicci Juice

Also spent like two days downloading Eiffel 65 - Blue on Napster

My first all-ages concert was a local ska band, MU330 with Mustard Plug opening. My first real concert was R.E.M. and it was an amazing concert. Some one hit wonder called Radiohead opened for them but I didn't really care.

one of my niche childhood favs has a vinyl on Discogs and fam I’m pumped

I’ve only begun my audiophile journey. So what’s with cassettes? Some of the niche surf rock poo poo I’m into only do cassettes and CDs. I have a turntable, and wouldn’t mind adding a nice cassette player at some point. How’s the audio, or is it mostly nostalgia? I get you can get some good internal metal readers for the tapes these day’s etc. Pretty naive about it all tbh

god that game was so good, and for an old rear end game, still reigns supreme when it comes to online platforms/clans. They really pioneered a lot. Even this many years later: I haven't played a console game online that was that seamless and intuitive with it all

I still listen to Boy Named Goo (seriously solid album before they rightfully sold out). They were my first concert with Bush and No Doubt.

Lisa Loeb is still awesome.

I somehow missed picking up on Liz Phair. A lot of the 90s muff music didn't make it through the bad music I was listening to as a teenager. Love me some Natalie Merchant though.

Oh, Lisa Loeb was in an episode of the last season of Community. Yet another reason to watch the yahoo season. Big thanks to I think Christian Slater for introducing her to the world.

Liz was popular on a couple of Chicago stations, and Natalie Merchant / 10,000 Maniacs are enjoyable still.

That's the thing, I'd listen to Chicago radio (what reached south of Kankakee) as a teenager until I moved South when I was 16 (1999).

Probably just too much Kiss FM.

I'm really starting to dig the Church of the Cosmic Skull lately.

I didn't hear about Guster until probably 2003, whenever they released the meow mix version of an album, because that's what I heard first. All meows to the tune of Amsterdam.

Mine was Sevendust. Next one was Metallica (1998), with opening acts Days of the New and Jerry Cantrell, which remains the best goddamn concert I've ever attended.

Edit: Aerosmith was the worst, but I'm pretty confident the venue was largely to blame.
