Cassette tapes!

See how many you remember. Even just staring at a few of these brings back memories like you wouldn't believe.

This was the mix tape staple.

These were pretty crummy, but oh so trendy! Especially the 120 min tape. Hissy and crappy, and I can't imagine hearing Jane's Addiction on anything but.

We had every single Steely Dan album on this type of cassette.

The guy who gave me the Pink Floyd collection did so on these.

August 1996 / Bob is a very big cat.

What do you remember?

Oh wow. I had lots of all of those. I'm embarrassed to say that on the funky colored Memorex tape, I definitely had an Amy Grant album at one point. My friend made it for me, but I played it lots. And now I have "Baby, Baby" in my head.

The last one is most strongly associated with Shaking the Tree in my mind. And listening to "Mercy Street" and "Solsbury Hill" and "Here Comes the Flood" over and over, falling in love.

There's some Sonys and Fujis and others that are on the linked page that are also very familiar.
