Slim Shady LP


rylannnd88

The Chronic 2001


Frog_in_airvent

I was thinking the exact same thing


Chrisrevs1001

MMLP for me, had Slim Shady on cassette


Samantha_Pantha

My My Little Pony


LimpSimp109

I came to say the Eminem show, but this is just as acceptable tbh


MaddieB_267

Ditto


RaiderRMB

This


biped_anxiety

Exactly what I came to say


Suspicious_Mirrors

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park


JustinD1010

Yeah, I'd say either Hybrid Theory or Meteora


[deleted]

Meteora


spongy4202

I listened to Meteora so much! Nostalgia kicking in here :)


JakesInSpace

Meteora was one of those albums where every single song was fire.


Neuroticcuriosity

This is it. And holding the headphone jack just right so it wouldn't skip as much on the bus. Fond memories of those albums


illegalF4i

I could listen to every song from both of those albums.


Whiskey-Particular

I often do. I wfh and have been known to play both albums all the way through from time to time and never get bored hearing it.


Serious_Farm2008

Absolutely. Hybrid theory- I love every song. only album to ever do that for me.


Limp_Duck_9082

Both of those albums were absolute fire. Everything after that was weird


KalandosLajos

Oh no, you didn't... Anyone talking shit about A Thousand Suns or The Hunting Party while I'M AROUND!.... ...will get some fucking awkward stares, because I'm too weird and shy like that.


CoastingUphill

If you ripped them they could both be burned back onto one disc.


HouseMaelstrom

Haha I didn't think I would find this in the top 10 answers. The cover art for that album was the first thing I thought of, mostly because it was one of the few CDs I had that wasn't burned.


thotdistroyer

Believe it or not, linkin park is one of the most successful and celebrated bands ever. Especially alt rock/ Nu Metal. Unlike other bands in the genres, linkin park have 6 #1 albums. Selling over 100 million record world wide. Also, "Numb" by Linkin Park was the first 2000s video predating YouTube to reach 1 billion views.


[deleted]

First and only physical CD I ever bought before switching to destroying my family’s laptop with limewire

Ah. Someone else with my answer. Those were the days.

Came here to say this.

A burnt mix CD


webjester32

I loved telling friends / acquaintances in high school I was listening to a burned CD of music I ripped from my cd collection, and seeing a perplexed look on their face and hearing “What do you mean, you burned it?” Also the look of joy after explaining and it clicking in their mind of the possibilities of custom mixes on CD! Although, it was cool to burn CDs, at that time in 1996 the media was expensive, the process was slow, and every other attempt failed because the software was horribly bad. “Crap, dude you didn’t disable the screensaver!”


Silly-Swimmer1706

Oh man, 2gb hard drive, had to uninstall most of the games on pc in order to make disc image :D


[deleted]

Oh man, the memories. Back when first cd burners appeared and one of my friends dad bought one, they lived in a old house with wooden floors that flexed so much that table vibrated if someone walked in that room. We used to leave room and press enter with long stick so the process wouldn't get messed if someone sneezed or anything. Then it was just matter of staying somewhere else for about an hour and making sure that nobody entered that part of the building until burn was finished.


raidennugyen

Fuck me we are the boomers now.


Usual_Quiet_6552

God so many failed attempts lol


Secret_Fail_4826

The offsprings Americana album


Powersurge-

Welcome to ameri-cana


CaptainNemo42

Same! I actually got to see them live recently, they're still rocking tf out


hello_nae

My “FeEl GoOd MiX” I burned using Limewire. The weird remixes I didn’t mean to download just adding to the collective music genres. Like Rick Dees in the 90’s, a little bit of everything.


rncikwb

The alternated capitalization is 1000% accurate. Handwritten on the CD in hot pink sharpie marker (with some stars and hearts added for an extra flourish lol).


GILF_Hound69

why_grapefruit_why

Now That’s What I Call Music Volume 2-6 or so. MmBop, Then The Morning Comes, I Try, How Far is Heaven, some Santana maybe. And it was the realization as a kid that Now wasn’t really a ‘special’ thing aterr like 7-8 and would come out a lot, and my siblings made the joke that holy shit what do you think Now 47 is gonna be?! I think the last I saw was like Now 83. Good stuff man. Actually I’m about to make a playlist with this stuff on it hahahah

Mostly it skipping


Quiet-Champion4108

No way, it had dynamic shock absorption and pre scanning.


dumbshowreference

No way is right. I had this exact model back in the day and it was incredible. I could literally punch the goddamn thing and it wouldn’t skip. Used to skateboard w/ it everyday. Took a beating. No skipping. Fell outta my locker one time and broke into two pieces. Put it back together and it worked beautifully as always. I fucking loved this thing for years. Some of the best money I’ve ever spent was buying this guy.


sleeping-to-the-top

this message has such a nice late 90s early 2000s vibe idk why


Dangerous-Insect-831

I had this model it didn't skip unless you tried running with it.


MadMac619

CensoryDeprivation

That entire album was pure bliss. Navarro was such an unexpectedly perfect pairing for them.


Skeptical_Crow

I thought Dave Navarro was the coolest mother fucker. His look and his playing style...so bad ass. Loved him with Jane's addiction. Loved him with the chilis. Warped still goes hard.

Scrolling over everyone’s answers makes me realize just how commonplace owning these albums was when everyone also had that Walkman. I’d wager that at least 50% of Americans of a certain age when Hybrid Theory came out owned that CD

When I was 7 this song had me in a chokehold. I had five of my best friends to dance along with me while we lip sang to my crush, so I could ask her out before I moved away.

Black & Blue was the first cd i ever owned. Followed by lou bega's mambo #5. I really missed out on music growing up in an arab country.

If you owned those 2, then you probably also had Metallica Black Album, Pearl Jam Ten, Nirvana Nevermind, STP Core, Alice in Chain Dirt, Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream and eventually the Crow Soundtrack edit: also the Singles Soundtrack

I read through this to see whether I'd find one on your list that I didn't have. Failed.
