Any 11 for $1, but you only need to pick 5!
8So what 5 would you pick from this selection? My choices are below (because I know how very badly you want to know them…).
Aerosmith: Dream On
Traffic: Heavy Traffic
Bob Seger & TSBB: Night Moves
Chicago: X
And… I’m torn between Carpenters Now & Then and War’s Greatest Hits.

And they’re 8-tracks! The cassette’s big-boned ugly sister with OCD.
“I don’t care if the song isn’t over, I have to switch tracks at this exact time!”
@ybmuG and we learned each of those songs with a space, click, space in it!
And how can you skip Telly Savalas “Who Loves Ya, Baby”?
@ybmuG You pick your your own damn five!!
Jim Neighbors… Gomer Pyle himself… that collection is gold
ELO, Manilow, and Bay City Rollers
/youtube bay city rollers Saturday night
S-A, T-U-R, D-A-Y !!!
@mike808 NIGHT !!!
Mac Davis, Barry Manilow, ELO, Bob Seger, Buck Owens
Although I could probably pick 11 that I’d listen to.
Aerosmith for sure, Carpenters, Bob Seger, Chicago, Neil Diamond (But I would have gotten the records)
Gotta go for Earl Scruggs Revue for some old time bluegrass…
Earl wrote “The Ballad of Jed Clampett”, the intro theme music for The Beverly Hillbillies.
@ELJAY Maybe how the Coens came up with the name “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs”
I’d have to go with ones I didn’t already have (but would have wanted), either the album or on (ugh) 8-track - hey! it was your music you could take in the car!!)
Willie Nelson
Thin Lizzy
Bob Seger
Phoebe Snow
Earl Scruggs
Willie Nelson
Earl Scruggs
Hank Williams Jr
Aerosmith
Bob Segar
Phoebe Snow
War
I’d pick 5 among those.
Aerosmith, bob segar, hank Williams jr, Barry manilow and willie Nelson I guess
Aerosmith, Chicago, ELO, Bob Seger, Earl Scruggs
Note the fine print. We did CRH once back in 90s sure we could find ~20 cassettes we’d like over 1 year (different deal). We got stuck around #18 and didn’t make the year deadline. They came after us HARD (phone calls, credit reports, etc) so we ended up picking 2 or 3 randomly then putting them in the Goodwill box just to get CRH to back off.
They had a business model to be profitable, so i get that, but they needed better selections.
Bay City Rollers: Saturday Night
Melissa Manchester: Better Days & Happy Endings
Aerosmith: Dream On
Carpenters: Now & Then
Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band: Night Moves
In no specific order
Chicago, Aerosmith, War, Hank, and David. Or maybe Willie.
When I did Columbia House (or was it BMG? Someone doing the same schtick) it was CDs. A Tribe called Quest, Beastie Boys, and House of Pain I believe were some of the things I got from them. I do remember painting my bedroom that summer with everything down from the walls and my 5 disc CD changer set up in the middle of the floor probably annoying the shit out of my parents with my selections from there.
@djslack my first post that was lost also included a week of searching Goodwills for an 8 track player. I forgot about that.
Thin Lizzy
ELO
Carpenters
Buck Owens
Aerosmith (maybe?)
There isn’t an Aerosmith album called “Dream On”, and I haven’t ever heard of an 8-Track single. I am not as familiar with the Bay Cit Rollers catalog, but I don’t think there was an album called “Saturday Night” either.
