    Run D.M.C.
    LL Cool J
    Ice T
    Biz
    Eazy-E
    P.E.
    etc.

    In 1987, was one of the first in my small hick town to get a CD player in his car...w/ a couple of ported 12" subs in the hatch driven by a few hundred watts...and the usual choice of music (i.e., Hank Williams Sr *or* Jr) just wasn't utilizing this to its fullest potential. However, not all of the locals were entirely thrilled with my choice of music. =P

    If I had it to do over again...I most certainly would.
