There are a few prog-metal purists here who'd agree with that...

I remember where I was and what I was listening to the first time. I actually thought the experience was hilarious because no one else in the room could hear what I was hearing and I could not hear what they were saying. I was a little kid in the mid-1980s and I was listening to a cassette by Platinum Blonde, who I don't think many people outside of Canada had ever heard of.

I have no idea.......but I will guess it was Rush-Caress of Steel. My father was a reel-reel guy since he liked classical music and he gave me his Akai reel-reel deck after he bought a new Pioneer one. I do remember falling asleep many times listening to Rush, Yes and Genesis compilations I recorded to tape with my headphones on.

You get to feel the bass and you don't have to hear those annoying people yelling at you to turn it down. Tongue
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I guess you could always rig up a bass speaker to play while you are listening to the phones.  LOL

It's a fact, with the headphone, no physical feel

Which I don't find necessary for music. For movies of course, but not for music.

I'm going to assume that you mean that ate a cake made out of chopped meat and potatoes.  Otherwise there might be trouble.  I seem to remember listening To Dark Side of the Moon on headphones after smoking some fine herbage . Some people smoke their salmon before adding herbs, but I would put herbs on the salmon before smoking the fish, which is really quite delicious.  It's quite a trip listening to Fish Rising while doing it.

Probably Cats or Les Miserables, my mom had tapes of those she'd play on road trips, I don't remember having any other tapes I cared about when I got my first Walkman as a kid. It didn't take long before I was taping music off the radio and listening to that in my walkman instead. Madonna, Eiffel 65 - stuff I probably wouldn't enjoy anywhere near as much now.
