So, for the old folks: What did you crank on the boom box back in the 80's?

What's with all the love for Michael Jackson? Was it the EVH solo or did you guy's actually like all his stuff???

MJ kicked ass with Off The Wall and Thriller.

Back then, didn't even know Eddie did the Beat It solo (or Lukather with the rhythm)

Did anyone ever fulfill their obligation to Columbia House after getting their 12 cassettes for a penny?

I was on the album program. That's how I got VH1. I think I bought one album out of guilt/self-conscience, then cancelled. The selection was quite MOR. Not enough choice for my amusement.

That's a shame; you should have listened to a wider variety of music back then since you're one-dimensional now.

Hmm, your comment doesn't even make sense. What precisely is the 'one dimension' you are claiming I am?

Off the Wall was a killer album, better than Thriller IMO

I didn’t even play guitar back then, much less know who played the guitar solo on Beat it.

I worshipped the song Give in to me. It took me almost a decade to realize that Slash was playing on that track (and album too). I still think that is Slash's best solo, bar none.

Fixed.

When I was like 8 or 9, we'd be at the public pool, and there would always be all these teenage guys walking around with huge boomboxes. I'd walk up and ask what tapes they had, they'd answer "Guns n' Roses", "Aerosmith" or whatever, and I'd go, "Yeah, that's cool," like they gave a fuck what some jackass kid thought about their musical taste.

I thought I would see some actual boom boxes y'all owned in this thread. This was mine.

I'd have to see if I could find an old stock photo online in order to do that.
