Break out the boombox and wake up your Walkman: It's Throwback Thursday and we're remembering the humble cassette tape!

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the cassette tape, so to celebrate, we're asking you to share your old-school cassette memories.

Carson recalls his very first tape— Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Welcome to the Pleasuredome."

"'Relax' was the jam," Carson said. "It was a hot summer in Palm Springs and my sister also thought it would be cool for me to put Sun-In to lighten my hair — just in the front — and I did. Big mistake."

TODAY wants to hear from you. Show us or tell us about your very first cassette tape using #TODAYtbt on Twitter and Facebook and we'll share some of them on air and online. Here are some of our favorites.
