    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.

    Apparently I have a different definition of what "old school" is compared to everyone else.

    Run DMC - Rock Box.

    Don't forget King of Rock

    A good one, but I just liked Rock Box better.

    Can't argue with you on that one

    You will probably never remember this one and if you do, don't judge:

    JJ Fad - Supersonic

    My friends and I used to pretend we were JJ Fad and sing this? rap this? every day before school. LOL
