I had no interest in music, until I happened to find a CD on the side of the road. This one, specifically. Traded some stuff to a kid for a CD player to play this. Didn’t even skip that much. But now I have to go, because I’m pretty sure I can hear my bones breaking.
Found media was how we discovered music back then (and porn). The radio certainly didn’t play anything good unless you happened to live in a major city. Although this introduction to Green Day I think came to me from Columbia House.
My memorable discoveries:
AC/DC - clear cassette in the park. Only marked with the band name ‘DC’ as it has rained and washed away most of the handwritten ink.
Marilyn Manson - white cassette labeled Spooky Kids with a sharpie, didn’t realize it was early Manson until years later
Tool - CD had just a pig and a fork, everything else was worn off

Eh?! What’s that sonny?
