"On vinyl, I got Beastie Boys' 'License to Ill' for Hannukah.

"My very first CD was Brandy's self-titled debut album. It came out in 1994 but I think I might've gotten it a few years later when I was old enough (aka, like, 10) to appreciate it, but I remember 'Baby' was my favorite song ever."—Haley Longman, Entertainment Editor
