I remember the first one I played....which was the Pretenders debut...my friends and I had "borrowed" the new technology of the cd player and Pretenders disk from the radio station we worked at and threw it on at max volume in my very high powered home stereo. 

The next thing I remember hearing was a wonderful sound of the disk kicking in, and then.......Psssssssst.  The sound of my ADS tweeters frying.   That was it for them. 

Bastards still remind me of that to this day.
