Wore them out

[NuWaveRx]

Hello Folks:
Long time lurker and first time poster here. I've really enjoyed reading y'all's posts. It makes me realize that the music I love has not died, and that listening to classic alternative music doesn't make one (too) weird. Hopefully I'm not violating any newbie rules by posting a new topic:
What albums or cassettes have you listened too so much you literally wore them out and you had to replace them?
Me?
INXS-The Swing (3 copies before the CD)
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions-Rattlesnakes (Ditto)
ABC-The Lexicon of Love (Just got the new remastered two disc set on The Ideal Copy)
A Flock of Seagulls-Listen (Wore out two cassettes with the extra tracks)
Shriekback--Oil and Gold
Scritti Politti--Cupid and Psyche '85 (Wore out the cassette with the extra tracks)
REM- Murmur
The Bats-Daddy's Highway
Smiths-Hatful of Hollow
Violent Femmes--Epon.
Pseudo Echo--Epon. (or Autumnal Park)
and several more...

Kraftwerks Computerworld Lp..I played that one oh so much..I played it forwards/Backwards, I would "scratch" it...Put the album up on my walls with tacs.
I also played A Flock of Seagulls to death.

The Clash - London Calling, I played it so much my parents even knew the words to the songs. I wore out a cassette tape of KROQ recordings from the 80's. I found it in a box during my last move and remembered it was pretty well shot. Welcome to NWO NuWave

First album that comes to mind is NewOrder's [i]Low Life[/i]. I totally warped that cassette. [i]The Queen Is Dead[/i] also got severely damaged from lending it to the kids at school. Otherwise, I stuck to mix tapes so I wouldn't have to buy these things.

I had these cassette tapes broken/worn down:

Prefab Sprout - A Life of Surprises
The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come
A Flock of Seagulls - Best of...
REM - Green

... and several more NuWave Selection series

Anyone still have any of the old mix tapes that lived in their cars in the 80's? Unfortunately none of mine survived my Duster, (and a few even fell out through some of the rust holes in the floor.[:D] I only wish I was kidding.) My wife still has a co

Definitely the Clash "London Calling"
also the Jam "Setting Sons" and Gang of Four "Entertainment"
The Specials debut is pretty beat up as well.

This whole question brings up another - now that most of us are out of our teens and 'responsible adults'

Thanks for the kind welcome to a newbie,
It sounds like many of you did what I did and made mix tapes for friends. Between high school and college I must have made hundreds of mix tapes for friends etc. A mix tape made for a girl I was dating usually
