oops...sorry. the last CD single i bought was probably Gett Off in 91.

Why that one? Was that his lead single? I can't remember.

I think so...I remember loving it and playing the hell out of it. But now thinking of it...I bought a few CD singles in the early 90s...Pearl Jam had one that had Yellow Ledbetter on it, and it was the only way to get that song (still my fave PJ song). Also have Gold with Rock N Roll is Alive on it. That was probably the last one.

Maybe we shouldn't be so surprised we didn't buy CD *singles* after Napster.

I think there was a remix that I could not get a nice clear download of and I really wanted to "own" as a fan - :*:TLC "Unpretty (Don't Look Any Further Remix)" because of course I already had FanMail, but it wasn't on there.

Maybe, but depends how one collected music. I was still buying Madonna and Janet singles well after Napster and Kazaa.

"On The Darkside" - Eddie and The Cruisers.

had to have that Scotti Bros 45

Funny you bring Madonna up. Remember when she sent out "What the fuck do you think you're doing" labelled as "American Life" on file sharing? (so that might have been one of the later NEW singles I bought on CD.)

Edit: This was the first (?) and probably last (?) cassingle I bought....at least as far as I recall. But I have bought some old second hand 45s and maxi singles since then. But as far as cassingles go, this is the only one I remember buying.

Um, ...maybe the '70s?

Last cassingle?...."Killing In The Name Of"..R.A.T.M........Last 45 single?...the song "Purple Rain" (purple vinyl).....Last CD single?...."Fortunate"..Maxwell.

I do remember that. One of my bottom 3 M albums, btw.

The last 45 I bought was the Gap Band's remix of Addicted To Love

The last CD single was Mint Condition If You Love Me

My last cassette single I bought was way back in 1990

"The Sex Of It" by Kid Creole & the Coconuts

Cassette... pretty fly for a white guy

I have the Weird Al version of this. It wasn't a single, but I have the album it's on. I recently watched a reaction video for the original song.

The sight of this has been on my mind since you posted it. Damn, the price is worth it for "I Love U In Me" alone, but then I realized "Insatiable" was my favourite on D&P too.
