As a kid, I had a Sony Sports boombox that was bright yellow, but I adored the fact that I could take it anywhere and it was weatherproof--very important feature in Washington State, and very useful when taking said boombox camping. Actually, I still have two boomboxes and use one regularly at work. The one I have at home is an Aiwa shelf system that takes batteries and has a handle. It's definitely sizeable, but damn, I love it when the power goes out. The other is a smaller system I got when I left the shelf system from my teenage years at home as I headed off to college and didn't have room for a larger shelf system in my dorm room. It hangs out downstairs in our dart room.
The boombox I have at work is a small Sony. I like it better than the small boombox I have at home--I think Sony just designs a good boombox. I like being able to take music outside to recess. We have dance parties on the playground with the kiddos--lots of fun!
A boombox doesn't go camping with us anymore, though--we have a small set of speakers that zips around our iPods and is powered by small batteries. Worse comes to worse, I can also play music off of my phone.
I usually used my boombox to play New Kids on the Block or Paula Abdul or Debbie Gibson or Bell Biv DeVoe, music from that era that we liked to dance to. If we weren't listening to tapes, it was tuned to 92.9, KISM-FM, out of Bellingham, WA.
