80's: Tapes with mixed songs from my parent's vinyl collection. Just all sorts of random pop and rock music.
End of the 80's/early 90's: I sat and recorded songs from the radio a lot. Many 60 and 90 minute tapes filled from front to back. Also got some copies of school mates Absolute Music CD's on tape and I think maybe some kind of Michael Jackson compilation.
Mid to late 90's: I think I only ever owned 1 non-copied cassete tape. The rest were copies of my sister's Nirvana and D-A-D at this point/copies of classmate's Offspring and Queen CD's.
Around 1998 to present: CD's, later joined by Youtube and Spotify for pretty much only for discovery and maybe listening to the odd artist that I can't find on CD. The amount of different artists I like has exploded over the last few years. I've become pretty good at finding new, interesting music, so the internet is pretty awesome as far as music goes.
