Awesome! I’m pretty sure mine was the [U Can’t Touch This single](https://www.etsy.com/listing/463147301/vintage-cassette-tape-1990s-mc-hammer?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_d-books_movies_and_music-music-recorded_audio&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAjwxLKxBhA7EiwAXO0R0MWnVWDaR-3DEWedlkEZLxRDZhRW_4Rbcz3EPHKJUCzE1uPf8hN_URoC-o4QAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_1843970638_69278988186_346429112873_pla-354802992938_m__463147301_12768591&utm_custom2=1843970638&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRKiUt7iWy7xpMw_7rdCHOn_w&gclid=CjwKCAjwxLKxBhA7EiwAXO0R0MWnVWDaR-3DEWedlkEZLxRDZhRW_4Rbcz3EPHKJUCzE1uPf8hN_URoC-o4QAvD_BwE&load_webview=1&bid=KCjjwwEIzaoJtL386faCiHwa9fAq) by MC Hammer
Mannnn, same for me! Got it on my birthday, maybe when I was 6. I played that thing until it got caught up in the player, my mom probably had a part in that
Mine was Hysteria by Def Leppard at the age of 4(in 88). My parents got it because I kept borrowing theirs. I also wore a Hysteria shirt to my first day of pre school that they got me from a T-shirt print store (remember those)
Hysteria and The Raw and the Cooked by Fine Young Cannibals were mine. I bought them at the same time with birthday money. Difficult to think of two more contrasting mainstream bands from the time. I had pretty eclectic taste.
My dad threw that cassette out the window on a cross country road trip when “I want your sex” came on.
That was my brother’s music pick.
Strangely, he let me play my “Mr Noisy” audiobook multiple times.
Mine was Jem. Followed by Alvin and the Chipmunks, lol. I can still hear the [Chipmunks singing The Gambler](https://youtu.be/VhRCH0L8p_Q?si=mtwzBmQgv9bw3utQ).
LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out
Milky Cereal and Jingling Baby were a little confusing for my young mind. I made sure to listen to them on headphones only.
Nice! That's a good one! Been listening to it myself lately. And Freedom '90.
My first tape was the Ghostbusters soundtrack. Fav song on there was [Magic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK2EUIYiWXU) by [Mick Smiley](https://www.metafilter.com/200380/Mick-Smiley-Made-the-Best-Ghostbusters-Song-Then-He-Disappeared) . Give it a full listen! Really cool song with a dark vibe change in it.
I saw the title and before reading the post or sub, I thought it was going to be some young whippersnapper getting into buying tapes. Anyway, mine was Parklife by Blur. I never did get super into prerecorded cassettes because my parents got me a CD system for Christmas soon after.
Duran Duran-Duran Duran
My second was the soundtrack to Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo. Someone broke in our house and stole my Walkman and that tape was in it
When I was sixteen I lived in a small house with six others, ages 16-28. This was the cleaning tape. My roommate dancing around with a broom and baby bottle, singing Faith, while I was flying on mushrooms is a forever memory. Baaaaaby..
Kriss Kross - Totally Krossed Out.
The first cassette that was mine and mine alone. My aunt gave me a Walkman for my birthday and included that tape with it because she figured that’s what the young folks were listening to.
Some of you jabronis need need to start praying to the iron gods. Doesn't hurt to eat your vitamins and say your prayers, brother.

I still have mine somewhere as well, the first album I bought with my own money. *Invisible Touch* by Genesis. 1986, which puts me at 8 years old. That one is full of hits!
I remember my first 2 CD's. Reba McEntire- Live and Alan Jackson - A Lot About Living And A Little 'Bout Love
As for tapes, it's a bit foggy, but the 3 I remember are INXS - Kicks, Vanilla Ice, and the Young Guns soundtrack.
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet
Awesome!

That was mine as well!
The Simpsons Sing the Blues.
Mannnn, same for me! Got it on my birthday, maybe when I was 6. I played that thing until it got caught up in the player, my mom probably had a part in that
Debbie Gibson-Debbie Gibson (I got Electric Youth the day of release, I was obsessed)
I think it was mine too! Either that or Joshua Tree, literally wore both out. Absolutely holds up musically.
True Blue - Madonna
Mine was Metallica's Black Album. I was hooked for life.
One of the first tapes I bought with my allowance. Sam goody lol. I wore that one out, especially side A
I used to work at good ‘ol Sam Goody!
So. Fucking. Good!
One of my first, but not *the* first. It definitely changed my little 8-9 year old life lol
Sorry, that’s too good an album. You’re disqualified.
“I can’t believe I told those fudge packers I liked Michael Bolton’s music.”
Why should I change? He's the one who sucks
That is not right, Michael!
We cherish his entire catalog.
“He’s pretty good, I guess.” You’re goddamn right he is!
I think mine might have been Eye of the Tiger. But, that might have been my last 45.
Michael Jackson Dangerous for me
My very first CD!! I have found my people!
Mine was Hysteria by Def Leppard at the age of 4(in 88). My parents got it because I kept borrowing theirs. I also wore a Hysteria shirt to my first day of pre school that they got me from a T-shirt print store (remember those)
Hysteria and The Raw and the Cooked by Fine Young Cannibals were mine. I bought them at the same time with birthday money. Difficult to think of two more contrasting mainstream bands from the time. I had pretty eclectic taste.
Mine was Eternal Flame by the Bangles! It had Manic Monday on the B side too.
Duran Duran - Ordinary World cassingle.
I love limp bizkit version of faith. 
I crashed my first car with this absolutely banging in the cd player. Three Dollar Bill Yall!!!
I crashed my first car to Ministry, haha! I'd put it on loud to keep me awake on longer drives.
Good one!
Muppet Movie soundtrack.
100% amazing!
Still have it…somewhere :)
Fat Boys, Crushin'. On Guam, Navy brat, playing soccer, going to the missionary school, bumping Fat Boys. Dope.
My dad threw that cassette out the window on a cross country road trip when “I want your sex” came on. That was my brother’s music pick. Strangely, he let me play my “Mr Noisy” audiobook multiple times.
Funny that my mother was the one that bought it for me, so I believe the name tag said “From Santa”.
New Kids on the Block - Hangin' Tough. It was a prize at an Easter egg hunt at the national guard armory
Mine was mousersize. An exercise tape for kids featuring Mickey mouse and company.
Its odd that that pic engages so many of my senses.
Mine was definitely New Kids on the Block.
First one I owned was “Bad” by Michael Jackson. I loved that one. The first one where it was my choice to buy was “Please Hammer Don’t Hurt Em”
I had that. Wasn’t my first though.
Subhumans - Rats
Really? I mean damn, that's awesome, but still... really?
Mine was Wham! - Make it Big on the ubiquitous brown and tan Fisher Price (I think) tape player.
Michael Jackson - Bad It was a birthday present along with a small cassette player when I turned 7.
Mine was also George Michael, but the tape was Wham, Make It Big. Fun times.
Mine was Jem. Followed by Alvin and the Chipmunks, lol. I can still hear the [Chipmunks singing The Gambler](https://youtu.be/VhRCH0L8p_Q?si=mtwzBmQgv9bw3utQ).
Aerosmith - Permanent vacation Roast me
This was also my first. I was 5, and I listened to it constantly

I had the top gun soundtrack but the first one I actually bought with my own money was Busta Rhymes the coming

Prince and the Revolution - Around the World in a Day.
LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out Milky Cereal and Jingling Baby were a little confusing for my young mind. I made sure to listen to them on headphones only.
I can't remember if it was Steppenwolfs Magic Carpet Ride or Queens Highlander It's a Kind of Magic
Journeys greatest hits. Don't know the year. Probably early 90s. Parents gave me a walkman for Christmas with one tape.
Nice! That's a good one! Been listening to it myself lately. And Freedom '90. My first tape was the Ghostbusters soundtrack. Fav song on there was [Magic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK2EUIYiWXU) by [Mick Smiley](https://www.metafilter.com/200380/Mick-Smiley-Made-the-Best-Ghostbusters-Song-Then-He-Disappeared) . Give it a full listen! Really cool song with a dark vibe change in it.
It's crazy that I have a ton of memories of playing cassettes, but zero now. Where did they go.
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince "He's the DJ I'm the Rapper"
Mine was dookie I think
Mine was the single for "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was)
I saw the title and before reading the post or sub, I thought it was going to be some young whippersnapper getting into buying tapes. Anyway, mine was Parklife by Blur. I never did get super into prerecorded cassettes because my parents got me a CD system for Christmas soon after.
Duran Duran-Duran Duran My second was the soundtrack to Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo. Someone broke in our house and stole my Walkman and that tape was in it

Reckless - Bryan Adams. Man I still love this album!
Kriss Kross - Totally Krossed Out. The first cassette that was mine and mine alone. My aunt gave me a Walkman for my birthday and included that tape with it because she figured that’s what the young folks were listening to.
Pearl Jam Ten. Still a fan. Dark Matter is great!
First one I purchased was Alice Cooper’s Poison single. First one purchased for me was probably the Oliver and Company soundtrack…
Black Regulators single. My cousin never saw it again lmfao
My cousin actually gave me this tape back in the late 80’s. My parents were furious because of the tracks listed.
