The first illegible tape has Kenny G's Miracles: The Holiday Album.

Not knowing the exact contents of most of these I guess I'll have to go with The Carpenters.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I saw this thread title on SNA, clicked somewhere else, and then thought, Wait. Why is that name familiar?

Was gonna go with "Celebrate America: 32 Songs of Country Pride" because damn, 32 songs on one tape?

But looked closely and saw TAPE 2 on the spine, so I went with Pretty Boy Floyd's Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz instead.

There's a great documentary from 10 years back called A Certain Kind of Death which delves more in the vein of this macabre routine, for those interested.

Voting Chris De Burgh for no good reason / canoes.

Not sure how one could call this a terrible article. That's a pretty mind-blowing statement. re: the cassette tapes, I find it stunning how George's apartment was in crazy shambles but his cassette tape collection appeared to be quite orderly. Priorities.

belated vote for Country 1994
