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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

It says walkman right there on the device.

I had a CD player with Walkman branding on it back in the early 2000s

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

Hate to admit it but Creed

[–] Donjuanme 7 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

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!?

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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.

The Offspring - Conspiracy of One

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] ben_dover 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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