What did you play on your Walkman
 
The Walkman thread had me thinking about what I played on my Walkman.

I was a New Wave aficionado. So the tapes I carried in my backpack in high school were:

B-52s (Red Album and Wild Planet)

The GoGos

Thomas Dolby

Blondie

Police

Devo

I listened to:

Nine Inch Nails
Smashing Pumpkins
Pink Floyd
The Grateful Dead

Peppy music for when jogging. Boston and INXS I remember. Mostly mix tapes I made. Also an obscure band called the Feelies.

Check out about 1:30 in for Feelies. Mostly for longer runs. A little trance like.

I remember Just like Heaven but not the title or the band. All I remembered was "Tell me, tell me, tell me" Searched on that for a couple of years then finally found it was "Show me, show me, show me." :)

Found mine in the px on the Nimitz during a 2 week cruise as a contractor in June of 82. It was the metal cased version and I bought XTC-Black Sea and U2-Boy on the ship. Mix tapes of Joe Jackson, Devo, etc got play as well!

So much Master of Puppets...

Anthrax, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Suicidal Tendencies, Testament, Exodus...

Ministry, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Pigface...

T.S.O.L., Circle Jerks, DRI, Gorilla Biscuits...

Been through probably 5 tapes of Violent Femmes, everyone always had at leave one copy of that album around them at all times.

And the Beach Boys. Sometimes Jan and Dean. I'm a sucker for surf rock.


Actually, I usually had some sort of mix tape playing, something that I spent 5 or 6 hours carefully putting together...

I still have most of my tapes and probably half of my CDs laying around.

berettafan 02-11-2019 11:22 AM

I used discmans later, as a way to listen to cd's in old cars with tape decks .

1987- brand new Kawasaki Ninja 750, brand new Walkman with Def Leppard’s just-released “Hysteria” cassette. Every time I hear a track off that (usually on Sirius XM these days) I am transported back to twisting that throttle and laughing behind my helmet. ��

Sooner or later 02-11-2019 04:03 PM

Never had a Walkman.

I did have a pre Walkman. It was a portable 8 track that used 8 D cells. About the size of a briefcase.

Steppenwolf, Grassroots, and the Beatles were my first 3 tapes.

SCadaddle 02-11-2019 04:06 PM

The Who
Live at Leeds
Magic Bus....the really loud part turned up full blast....

While getting the other pair of wisdom teeth pulled out of my head that the dentist left in my head from the week before when I had NO Walkman with me.

It didn't work.:D
