What are the 3 oddest cassettes or CDs you’ve bought at the same time that don’t go together?

For me, it was:
-
Public Enemy’s “Fear of a Black Planet”
-
Top Gun Soundtrack
-
Alabama’s Greatest hits
All on cassette. And the record store clerk looked at me like I was insane.

I've got my Footloose tape in the car's player. Sadly it only has audio on the left side at about 1/3 the volume. The radio and CD changer sounds great.

Vivaldi, Ride The Lightning by Metallica, Butsting Out Live by Jethro Tull. Still three in heavy rotation.

I never had enough money to buy more than 1 at a time.
We were poor.

I picked up a copy of that Fear of a Black Planet cassette when I bought Soundgarden Badmotorfinger on it's release day.

The middle one looks like it's named "Alabama Alabama Alabama Hits Greatest Hits".

I kinda like the idea of Top Gun and Public Enemy together. Maybe you get some kind of Hegelian synthesis or something.

That Top Gun tape reminds me of the time my wife was out thrifting and was super stoked to find it on vinyl. Got home to play it and found it was a laser disk.

I bought the Cocteau Twins “Heaven or Los Vegas”, the Butthole Surfers “Hairway to Steven”, and The Beastie Boys “Paul’s Boutique”. The cashier was said “you certainly had a wide taste in music”

I remember buying Dr. Feelgood and Nevermind together. At Camelot Music.

I don't think I ever bought cassettes, except empty ones to mix myself. Otherwise I went form vinyl to CD - and around 2000 I went back to vinyl.
In any case:
