I've just been clearing out a load of rubbish, and found tonnes of my old cassettes. It was like a proper trip down memory lane! I found such classics as...
A+ - Enjoy Yourself
Marvin & Tamara - Groove Machine
Honeyz - We Won't Take It Lying Down
(I worry about my past music tastes...) But anyway, it's set me off on a huge downloading spree!!
Has anyone kept any of their old cassettes?!

Edit: It was strange as until I was about 10 I would just borrow tapes from my older brother who was 16 at the time. I think I had a few Now tapes as well which I got for Christmas, not sure where they are, most likely in with my brothers huge collection of tapes. I wonder if my All Saints one is there now I think about it.
Bon Jovi, Wet wet wet, Elton john.. (I didn't have very 'cool' music taste as a kid either.. ) I've even still got some of my REALLY old story ones, nursey rhymes, and learning french!
I got other stuff on tape too, some shows i've taped from the radio, Interviews.. Steve penk.. And some i've nicked from my parents collection like Thin lizzy and Led zep.
I still listen to some of them on occasion..
I used to record loads of shit off the radio - although I can't find any of that. We used to make radio stations and stuf hahaha, how sad?!
I found all my Wet Wet Wet albums and Kylie albums on cassette. Classic.
(Timmy Mallet Itsy Bitsy tenny weeny bikin thing if you're wondering ;p)
But when i was old enough to go shopping and buy my own music i normally bought cd's cause i was cool :thumb:
OP: how come you bought honeyz on cassette, cheapskate? I've got that single on CD- they'd been out for ages!
Hanson
Dead Eye Dick
Michael Jackson (pretty much every one, records of him too)
I have quite a few, for my old kick-arse portable radio. Mainly Anthrax cd's copied to it.
You're admitting to having such shit songs in your collection too?!!
Nah, I had a personal tape player back in the day, so I used to buy tapes to listen to. I think. Or maybe I was just a deprived child...!
They're only worth any money as the original tape packs, and I want to keep the originals. Anyway, I still buy tape packs off Ebay from time to time.
They're not that expensive.

I have slightly better taste in music now...
The one annoying thing is that you have to turn the tape over manually, I get the impression I'm seen as a luddite, not that I care.
or this one
Pretty
I love my MP3 player. Use it far more often than I ever used to use my portable CD player, or cassette walkman.
Back to the topic - I have a dozen or so tapes in the glovebox of my car as the car is old and only has a cassette radio, and I've got a couple of dozen lurking around in a box at my parents.
I don't think it's so much a case of kept them, more a case of haven't been arsed to get around to chucking them out.
Yes, yes it is.
