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

White Pony by Deftones
Crystal Method’s Tweekend.
I heard that before Vegas and still prefer it.
Mine was one of those rugged ones. I don't remember if I had picked up STP yet or if it was still weird al
Probably some obscure shit that I downloaded off of AudioGalaxy because it wasn't available on CD anywhere. Gun Glub comes to mind.
Wow, my disc-man was really close to this model. Mine was anodized blue. I remember getting my first paycheck as a bagger at Safeway for a summer job. I bought almost this Sony DiscMan, Eifel 65 and Korn Issues.
Everybody loves oldskool Dutch punk, right?
Fuck yeah man. Just listening to the album now while enjoying our one day of sun. Still fucking relevant.
I had that model discman but red.
Popped that little insert out accidentally but it still worked and played CDs.
With that insert out I could put a marker on the CD as it was spinning and I could make cool spiral designs.
Good tiles
Random stuff from anime and movies downloaded from Napster or ripped from other CDs and burned to CD-Rs. I would never go traveling with the copy I purchased. Oh and Weird Al.
Thursday - Full Collapse
Diskman.
Either a TDK or Maxell one. If I'm broke, Arita.
Not old enough, but if I was, Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray are the only ones I listen to old enough to fit the bill.

Sabaton and Iron maiden.
Slipknot, any of their stuff really, all of it was welcome lol.
Something from one of the Trojan ska/reggae box sets. Maybe Op Ivy.
Covenant - Nexus Polaris.
And now I have to go down the memory lane and listen to them. Damn you.
This!
Saxon, Crusader album
Astro-Creep: 2000, Smash, Aenima, and Antichrist Superstar were getting a lot of play back then along with a ton of others, I had a 100ish cd case that was full.
A burned CD with a carefully selected mix of anime songs, alt rock, and folk punk. Not carefully selected because they went well together, but because IIRC the cheap CDs then didn’t hold a ton of songs.
Cats soundtrack
Was big into S-Club 7 at the time.
I was like 9 though so don't judge me too hard
Laundry Service by Shakira. One of a handful of music CDs that actually worked on my no-name CD player. I was ecstatic when MP3 players hit the scene and I could finally listen to all the weird music I had accumulated thanks to Kazaa.
A modern-day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride
Kool Keith Black Elvis - Lost in Space
