The music of my generation is MC Hammer. Lucky me.
Actually some good bands from the early 90's.. the Black Crowes, Third Eye Blind, I guess I'm forgetting others. Oh, the Lemonheads I liked them. And one of those Red Hot Chili Pepper albums was pretty good (wouldn't listen to it now though).
First music I bought was on 45s.. I got up to about 8 records before they switched to singles on cassette. Didn't get a chance to buy any albums before CDs replaced them. Used to have a great music collection from Napster that's been long since lost.
My brother however still has all the great music from the 70's on 8-tracks, and a stereo to play them. Pretty cool.
