Man, I did not know what Red Light Special was really about back then.
I distinctly remember singing Pony by Ginuwine in front of my mom one time and I had no idea what it was about. Thinking about it now kind of makes me want to die.
I remember getting my boom box (big giant thing lol) for my 11th bday, and that was my first CD player. I also received Boyz II Men and Alanis Morrisette CDs. Score!
I got my first CDs when I joined Columbia House. I remember Rage Against the Machine, Green Day, Blind Melon, Offspring, The Lemonheads, Ace of Base, 4 Non Blondes.
My first tape was the Cocktail soundtrack. I don't remember CD. ETA: after some thought I think it was Green Day. I didn't get a CD player until high school.
Backstreet boys. My first tape was Billy Ray Cyrus. I loved me some achy breaky heart.
ETA- I also had to wait for my sister to get a new boombox so that she could give me hers before I got any CDs, and even then it was just the one, lol. I was in her room a lot to listen to music. Bless her.
This is CD, not tape. I had so many tapes but my first CD was the Sliver Soundtrack. I've never seen the movie but I loved the song "Can't Help Fallin in Love with You" by UB40.
The one I remember playing the most was Brandy. And there was this song about loving someone who didn't know she loved him. I would listen to it all emotional, thinking about my crush. Haaaa.
Cd not sure but my first cassette was like a virgin that my dad brought back from his navy duty in Bermuda when I was 11. Pretty sure I didn't even know what a Virgin was back then.
I still have all my cassettes. I can't just give away my childhood!
