System of a Down’s album Toxicity. Prison Song’s opening note is basically what defines the experience.
Linkin park hybrid theory naturally.
And holding the cd player slightly in the air in the car/bus because the skip protection only goes so far and this track is 🔥
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.
It says walkman right there on the device.
I had a CD player with Walkman branding on it back in the early 2000s
Looks like I'm just old.
Sony used the Discman branding in the mid 90s and went back to Walkman in the late 90s and early 2000s.
For me, Walkman meant tape or cassette, but again, I'm old. Old enough to have been listening to Depeche Mode on tape on my Walkman.
Radiohead - Kid A
Hate to admit it but Creed
I never could tell if it was religious music, I've always suspected it was, but the few albums they made, especially their first, were awesome imo. Don't be shamed for taste.
Massive Attack’s album Mezzanine, played that on repeat for a long time
Ooh, that's a good one.
This was a great era for electronica: we had this, Prodigy's Fat of the Land, Crystal Method's Vegas and Weekend, FatBoy Slim's You've Come A Long Way Baby, just about everything from Chemical Brothers.
I think I went broke buying music in the 1990s.
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.
Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water
whilst shaking it up and down showing my friends how it doesn't skip.
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!?
Fatboy Slim - You've Come a Long Way, Baby / Better Living Through Chemistry
Daft Punk - Discovery
Linkin Park and Papa Roach probably.
Sum 41 - all killer no filler. That album still slaps
Weird Al - Running with scissors
Eiffel 65 - Blue or Weird Al
Beastie boys - Ill communication
Disturbed or System of a Down
Blue - Third Eye Blind
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
My burnt cd of " Cool Music" I downloaded off LimeWire.
Deftones - White Pony
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane
Eiffle 65, europop. Or my Napster mix if not either of those smash mouth fish yu mang or Astro lounge
The Offspring - Conspiracy of One
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.
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.
I'd rip them to tape and use my real walkman because anti-shock sucks
