Probably Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory

Linkin park hybrid theory naturally.

System of a Down’s album Toxicity. Prison Song’s opening note is basically what defines the experience.

The Walkman was the cassette player. Weren't the CD players called the Discman?

Now I'm sad that I'd lost my Walkman more than a decade before that, in or around 1990. The Discman sounded better, but was worse on batteries and skipped if you looked at it funny.

Hate to admit it but Creed

Probably Ok Computer, that album just blew me away. Or Kid A if that was out.

NIN the downward spiral

Radiohead - Kid A

Massive Attack’s album Mezzanine, played that on repeat for a long time

Something I custom burned myself. Either a mix of ska/punk or an abridged version of The Fragile.

Stone Temple Pilots - Core

Dookie

Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water

whilst shaking it up and down showing my friends how it doesn't skip.

Fatboy Slim - You've Come a Long Way, Baby / Better Living Through Chemistry

Metallica - S&M

Life-changing album for me and still a top 5. First non-country album I ever bought. I heard my cousin blasting No Leaf Clover and it literally pulled me out of bed. What is that amazing sound!?

Daft Punk - Discovery

Weird Al - Running with scissors

Linkin Park and Papa Roach probably.

Disturbed or System of a Down

Eiffel 65 - Blue or Weird Al

Pink Floyd - The Division Bell

Sum 41 - all killer no filler. That album still slaps

Beastie boys - Ill communication

I had a Walkman that played MP3s. I recall it being a pearly blue color. Listened to a lot of different yet similar stuff. Mostly metal, alt, punk, and classic rock.

Probably 10,000 Hz Legend (Air, the French band) but I never listened to it as much as Moon Safari.

Also Mutations and/or Midnite Vultures (Beck).

And I had an actual Sony Discman in those days too. I remember that it worked better than the player in a friend's car that skipped all the time.

P.O.D. ughh

I just wanted something I was allowed to listen to that people had actually heard of

Ha ha ha I didn't have a walkman, I had an Mp3 player that could fit 15 songs at a time and they were all random stuff I'd downloaded off Napster.

Deftones - White Pony

Moby-Play

One of my many mp3 mix cds of course.

311 Soundsystem and a lot of trance.

My burnt cd of " Cool Music" I downloaded off LimeWire.

The Offspring - Conspiracy of One

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane

Kool & The Gang

I was into mudvayne at that time, I think.

If we're talking about the music I had in 2001, probably something like Audio Adrenaline or The Beatles' Lonely Hearts Club Band. Christian music and a small selection of classic rock was all my parents let me listen to at the time.

If we're basing it on current tastes though, probably something like My Bloody Valentine's Loveless or Orange Goblin's Time Travelling Blues.
