Ooh, all of them :)

I had an off-brand MP3 CD player that would fit my entire music collection and would read CD-RW's.

It earned the nickname "Lazaraus" because it died and somehow started working again after multiple drops, spills, and other accidents.

But mostly Pearl Jam and Nirvana lol.

I had burned cds with different songs, a lot of pearl jam and nirvana, more tool though. Older stuff too like pink floyd, led zep, bowie, etc. Carried around about a dozen.

I could never mix old and new like that. Always had to be separate experiences / CDs.

Nowadays, I just put my entire collection on shuffle. I've come so far.

Gorillaz first album

I'd rip them to tape and use my real walkman because anti-shock sucks

I’m still listening to So Much For the Afterglow and Savage Garden on cassette tape, cause I can’t afford CDs.

Some rotation of Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, or Sasha and John Digweed albums.

Club Cutz. It's a music cd with various dance hits, from 1995. I used to be obsessed with it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Pinback's second album, Blue Screen Life. I even bought high quality headphones at the stereo shop next to the music store just to commemorate the occasion.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mained these two albums all the time. But I didn't have a walkman, probably a Philips generic equivalent without skip-protection.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Also with the god awful on-ear headphones that always would pull your hair out when you removed them.

London Calling by the Clash.

It got me to work every day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I was mostly listening to the CD player in my car by that point, but probably some Ben Folds Five.

Regatta de Blanc

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Toxicity for sure

I know for a fact it was Spiritualized - Let It Come Down

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

It was 2003, and I was listening to Where is the Love by Black Eyed Peas. Almost too much cringe mixed in to experience the nostalgia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

The (Tobey Maguire) spider-man movie official soundtrack

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Black hole sun. Won't you come? Wash away the rain....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I grew up in a Christian household, so probably Newsboys (the original model) or Audio Adrenaline.

Dimitri From Paris - A Night At The Playboy Mansion
DJ Heather - Tangerine
Soulstice - Illusion
and something different
Andrea Bocelli - Romanza

It's sad because I'm leaving and I have only listen to DJ Heather cd so far. When I come back, I will play the rest on my sony cd walkman.

White Pony by Deftones

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Incubus, The Donnas, Alicia Keys, Rammstein.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I'm not, gave my discman to my younger brother brother because it skipped like a mother if you walked with it in your pocket, and I mainly listened to books on tape on my actual walkman well up until mp3 players were viable
