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'm a bit younger and had a Discman.
I listened to: Nine Inch Nails Smashing Pumpkins Pink Floyd The Grateful Dead |
My first ever purchased Cassette. Rode my Schwin bike about 5 miles to buy Styz Grand
Illusion. |
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FJxJbbKQ7o&list=PL94gOvpr5yt3ZgenkVrKerK4 3Ypu9YQhX |

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!

Public enemy, eric B and rakim, run dmc, LL cool j, Kool Moe D, Beatles

Jimi Hendrix
Deep Purple Cream Led Zeppelin Stuff I still listen to - volume cranked - when no one else is around. |
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. |
zep, beach boys, beastie boys, bon jovi, motley crue,

I never had a walkman, but I can remember like yesterday, the kid 2 seats in front of me on the school bus, rocking license to ill , every morning .
I used discmans later, as a way to listen to cd's in old cars with tape decks . |

1. pat benatar - crimes of passion 2. Rush - 2112. |
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.

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. |
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 |
