And even bigger deal because mine also had TWO tape players so my friends and I could record our own mix tapes. Oh...those were the days. When a mix tape was the ultimate gift. Simpler times. Ha.
So I got both CD boom boxes for my birthday and the one I opened at the actual birthday party was known about my several of my girlfriends. Because they each gave me a CD to accompany my new player. (You can imagine how exciting this birthday was, right? Totally thrilling!! A rite of passage.)
So I think we will all get a giggle when I tell you that my very first four CD's were by....
MC Hammer
The Party
New Kids On The Block
and
Vanilla Ice
Ooooh yeah! Ice, ice baby! It was a time of very baggy pants and the sideways shimmy. Big hair. Shoulder pads were still in. Tapered legs and a pleated waist that gave you that super desirable diaper butt look. Did anyone else shop at Units? OMG my best friend Florida and I LOVED that store. Was it a shirt or a skirt or a belt...oh it was all three. Clothing shouldn't be able to have nine purposes, by the way.
What was your first CD? And how high were your bangs at the time?

I remember my parents had a six-disc CD changer when I was young and that was such a BIG deal at the time! Crazy how things have changed.
I remember buying four cd's with my cd player, but the only one I remember is Bryan Adams' Waking Up the Neighbors.
And no bangs here.
Oo, I have to jump in on this one. Mine was Ace of Base and yes, I still have all of the lyrics memorized.
I have no idea what my first actual CD was... but I know one of my first LP's was Thriller. I loved the fold-out image of MJ with the white tiger. Hahahha... hilarious.
And then of course there was the phase of buying casette singles at Turtle's! I had a ton of singles... including "One More Try" by Timmy T.
Good times...
I think my first CD was either En Vogue or Boys 2 Men. I also remember the Bodyguard soundtrack got a lot of play on my boombox. Having the dual tape deck was crucial. It was all about the mixed tape, plus how else was I going to listen to all my Paula Abdul tapes?
This is sooo funny! MC Hammer :) I can't remember what my first CD was but my first tape (yep, I'm dating myself) was Tiffany. I couldn't get enough of "I think we're alone now." :)
Oh i remember my first CD player oh so well. My parents gave me what would now look like this massive box tons of lights! lol! the cd's i remember the most (although not my first cds) were Ace of Base, Boys 2 men and yes- MC hammer!

Omg I remember this era clearly! I had the tape recorder with the double tape deck in bright red. And, don't get me started on the music... MC Hammer and The Party? Yup. I even had the MC Hammer video hits on a VHS tape. Sadly, I finally parted with my memories when I donated everything to Goodwill. :-(
I'm pretty sure it was the Lion King soundtrack, circa third grade, when I was in 'Lion King on Ice' with my Figure Skating Club =)
Depeche Mode (I'm not certain which one). And yes, my bangs were very, very high!
OMG I was obsessed with making mix tapes! I remember when my friend got one that had a 2 disc changer and it was revolutionary :) I gave you a Stylish Blogger award on my blog, keep up the fabulous work!

My first one was Nelson. And my bangs were high.
Reba Mcentire - Sweet Sixteen! I grew up with bangs that were super straight, cut straight across at about my eyebrows.
I cannot remember for the life of me! But, my 1st cassette tape was Beastie Boys.
