What a throw back Bumper! I remember having a cassette player and thinking that was the stuff! :hysterical: Taping off of radio! What a hoot. I used to do that all of the time. I still have some of them!:cheeky::jump:

And even better --a double cassette player-recorder

I remember when I didn't have the OFF THE WALL album and when I couldn't find it anywhere in the shops any more, I came across Don't stop till ou get enough video on TV, so I took my radio cassette recorder, stuck it against the tv loud speaker and recoded the song :rofl: I still have the cassette

I once filled an entire cassette of JUST Give in To Me...so I wouldn't have to rewind it :fear: :lol:

:lmao:

I did more or lesst the same with Moonwalker.

I had MOONWALKER on VHS. I recoded all the music from it, especially the retrospective part from which I recoded each snippet x5 so I didn't have to rewind to hear the snippets again. At that time I didn't have:

State of shock
Rock with you
We are the world
and all video and live versions of the songs

I was so mezmerized by the film

I was proud to have an original MOONWALKER self-made soundtrack :lmao:

Jesta, do you know what a cassette look like?

I used to have video tape of Black or White and Burcharest concert. Too bad I was not able to bring the tape with me when I moved to the States.

:lmao: I wish I still had that!

:lmao: One time, my cousin (who was maybe 2 at the time), accidentally recorded over a little part of the GITM video on the Oprah interview...I almost had a heart attack...It was like 2 secs recorded over but it was still 2 seconds too many, as I was SO obsessed with that video back then lol

I didn't have that one. I had AIWA, it was sold with a waterproof gear or whatever. But actually I never used in water, I never dared :lmao:

I also remember having a pen with me. So everytime when I wanted to rewind, in order to spare battery energy, I took the cassette out of the walkman and put the pen in one of the holes and rewinded or fast forwarded them as fast as I could with my pen.

I'M NOT THAT YOUNG!!!! I still remember the 90s, just no nostalgia about it! Aside from seeing Ghosts on MTV and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world. I was right. That, and playing the few video game gems I had.

Re: Michael - The Great Album Debate (Only Go Here if You Want To Continue The Controversy)

That is IT!!!! I'm going back in time to 1981 BEFORE all of this happened so I can witness first-hand MJ's creative boom!!!!!

Where I'm going, I don't need roads...
*Cue iconic music*

Re: Michael - The Great Album Debate (Only Go Here if You Want To Continue The Controversy)

while i love mature MJ a lot, i have to admit his freshness, youthfulness and energy during the late 80's are captivating. i mean women want to sleep with him. men want to be him... he was simply phenomenal.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why was I born so late!!!!???? I must construct a modern time machine using a toaster and an Xbox 360 somehow...

Of course, he was the biggest star in the world at that point. He was untouchable, even to the media! And on a COMPLETELY unrelated note, I'm not growing my hair to look like MJ's, no matter what anybody tells you. Don't believe them. Ever.

Re: Michael - The Great Album Debate (Only Go Here if You Want To Continue The Controversy)

You were lucky to experience the Dangerous era. I only barely missed the HIStory era! Them the Invincible era hardly made any noise in terms of music being advertised, so I missed that too! The only bit of Michaelmania I got to experience first-hand was Ghosts! Granted, not a bad thing to be introduced to, but it was so late!!!

@Birchey, was that actually written by the Eddie Cascio we all know and love?

Hush, Love... Have a nice picture of MJ to look at instead of thinking about Eddie:

Re: Michael - The Great Album Debate (Only Go Here if You Want To Continue The Controversy)

Destiny introduced me to Michael.

Back in time, I used to watch many movies, even from the 40s and before, things liek Charlie Chaplin. When I heard for the first time the name Michael, I liked it a lot. Then, after awhile, I heard the family name Jackson. So I thought to myself, someone whose name would be Michael Jackson would be so cool (at that point I even didn't know that MJ existed). So I remember as a kid playing with little cars and I imagined that the cars were driven by my imaginary super hero Michael Jackson. Untill one day I heard that there was a singer whose name was Michael Jackson. I was mesmerized! In awe! The first song ever, that I heard, was BAD, just when it was released, in 1987! I thought to myself, well just another singer with one good song and that's it. But when I heard Dirty Diana, I knew immediately that I became a fan. Since that day I haven't stopped listening to MJ.

p.s. And no, the Cascio singer is not my super hero MJ.
