Besides a blank I recorded off top 40 radio shows?

It was either Pear Jam Ten or Sound Garden Badmotorfinger.

I forget the 1st one but Columbia House helped me build that cassette collection.

LOL. Man, I hadn't thought about this in forever. What a rush of memories that was!

Guns N Roses - Use Your Illusion II

I was in the fifth grade at Northstar Mall, my older brother was with me and the cashier asked me if I really wanted that tape, I got it. Still one of the best albums of all time, know every word.

Then GNR went to ****, Slash left, Axl is fat, bucket head, etc.

An an analog magnetic tape based recording medium once used to make music albums somewhat portable. They had a lower fidelity than an album or digital original, but arguable better audio quality than the crappy low bit rate commercial MP3 downloads most consumers settle for today.

Yep.

But the first original was a tape for my karaoke machine with Whitney Houston "Greatest Love of All", Shania Twain "I'm Outta Here", and two other songs.
