The year is 2001, what CD are you playing on your Walkman?

Probably Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory

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.

Linkin park hybrid theory naturally.

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

Hate to admit it but Creed

NIN the downward spiral

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

Radiohead - Kid A

Stone Temple Pilots - Core

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

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

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!?

Dookie

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

Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water

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

Weird Al - Running with scissors

Linkin Park and Papa Roach probably.

Daft Punk - Discovery

Disturbed or System of a Down

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

Eiffel 65 - Blue or Weird Al

Moby-Play

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

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.

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.

One of my many mp3 mix cds of course.

Beastie boys - Ill communication

Deftones - White Pony

311 Soundsystem and a lot of trance.

P.O.D. ughh

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

Can I get a piracy playlist? Where Napster at?

I bought almost every CD mentioned but own none of them now.

Incubus - Fungus Amongus
Alice in Chains MTV Acoustic Album
Metallica, Nirvana, Van Halen, Scorpions
Disturbed, System of a Down, SlipNOT, Korn
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Clapton, etc. too

Slipknot - Slipknot or maybe Papa Roach - Papa Roach.

The Offspring - Conspiracy of One

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.

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.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane

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.

Kool & The Gang

Lateralus by Tool

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

Blue - Third Eye Blind

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.

I was into mudvayne at that time, I think.

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

London Calling by the Clash.

It got me to work every day.

Mogwai, Boards of Canada, the Delgados, Blonde Redhead.

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

Eiffle 65, europop. Or my Napster mix if not either of those smash mouth fish yu mang or Astro lounge

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

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

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.

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

The soundtrack to the movie Tomb Raider.

https://www.discogs.com/master/115360-Various-Lara-Croft-Tomb-Raider-Music-From-The-Motion-Picture

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.

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

Toxicity for sure

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

I had a minidisc ya square. And I was bumping mostly Chronic 2001 and MM LP.

Incubus-morning view

1000014301

Regatta de Blanc

The (Tobey Maguire) spider-man movie official soundtrack

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.

White Pony by Deftones

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.

Saxon, Crusader album

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

Kidneythieves- Trickster

Crystal Method’s Tweekend.

I heard that before Vegas and still prefer it.

Deep Purple, also referred to as Deep Purple III

Heideroosjes - Kung Fu

Everybody loves oldskool Dutch punk, right?

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

Mix of euro dance/trance. Tiesto, Milk inc, Lasgo, Scooter, etc.

Apocalyptica: Cult (2000)

A modern-day warrior

Mean, mean stride

Today's Tom Sawyer

Mean, mean pride

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

Fuck that Walkman, right around that year or maybe 2002 was when I had a RioVolt SP250. And it was friggin awesome.

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.

Diskman.

Either a TDK or Maxell one. If I'm broke, Arita.

Stepa, Incubus, Korn, Linkin Park,...

Fastball - All the Pain Money Can Buy

Probably some obscure shit that I downloaded off of AudioGalaxy because it wasn't available on CD anywhere. Gun Glub comes to mind.

Incubus, The Donnas, Alicia Keys, Rammstein.

Sabaton and Iron maiden.

Something from one of the Trojan ska/reggae box sets. Maybe Op Ivy.

Since I Left You, by The Avalanches

Kool Keith Black Elvis - Lost in Space

Was big into S-Club 7 at the time.

I was like 9 though so don't judge me too hard

Covenant - Nexus Polaris.

And now I have to go down the memory lane and listen to them. Damn you.

NIИ - The Fragile. We're in this together now!

Cats soundtrack

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.

I only owned CD-RW lots of Eminem, crazy train, trapt, SOAD, Metallica, linkin park, pantera, no doubt. Shit my mom probably still has all my music on our old W98 e-machine

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bSupYK20_Cs

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.

Venetian Snares - "Making Orange Things"

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.

Chronic 2001

Slipknot, any of their stuff really, all of it was welcome lol.

If strictly sticking to 2001 albums, the two the stick out in memory are

New Order, Get Ready
Linkin Park, Hybrid Theory

I got a discman in 95ish and listened to STP - Core, Blind Melon, and RHCP - What Hits mostly. It took two AA batteries and only lasted for 4-5 hours.

In 2001 I had a Phillips portable CD player that used 1 AA and lasted for 12+ hours. I was listening to Lateralus, Guster - Lost and Gone Forever, Mer de Noms, and Pump Up the Valuum.

what are the odds

Probably Stunt.

... nonzero chance it'd be Tubthumper.

I didn't use a portable CD player much before getting one with MP3-CD support, and I loaded up one CD with everything I thought was worthwhile. But aside from all three Deftones albums and some loose Limewire detritus I am now unclear what would be there. Presumably I still have the CD lying around... somewhere.

INCredible Sounds of Drum and Bass Mixed by Goldie or Colours by Adam F, or some mp3 disk with all my Napster downloads because mine had mp3 support.

Craig Richards - Fabric 01

Listening to Unforgiven by Metallica. Those were dark days

The last cd I remember playing on the CD player was Korn Issues. Good ole days !!

KMFDM - XTORT, Primal scream - XTRMNTR, NIN - The Fragile, Sonic Youth - Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, Dead Milkmen - Behold a Pale Cow, Pantera - Great Southern Trendkill
