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 remember my 64 MB mp3 player, i think it even had an expansion slot that you could put an SD card into.
I remember the day I learned about compression and making the same songs lower bit rate, I went from 30 songs to 100+... I was so excited, turned on the player and had to turn the volume all the way up to hear anything, and what I heard could have been music, or it could've been gravel being laid onto pavement.

Slipknot - Slipknot or maybe Papa Roach - Papa Roach.
Gorillaz first album
I'd rip them to tape and use my real walkman because anti-shock sucks

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

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
I’m still listening to So Much For the Afterglow and Savage Garden on cassette tape, cause I can’t afford CDs.
Club Cutz. It's a music cd with various dance hits, from 1995. I used to be obsessed with it.
The (Tobey Maguire) spider-man movie official soundtrack
Toxicity for sure
I had a minidisc ya square. And I was bumping mostly Chronic 2001 and MM LP.
Some rotation of Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, or Sasha and John Digweed albums.
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.
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.

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.
Black hole sun. Won't you come? Wash away the rain....
I was mostly listening to the CD player in my car by that point, but probably some Ben Folds Five.
The soundtrack to the movie Tomb Raider.

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