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.
2001 weren't we all using mp3 players?
I know I was. It was really big and could hardly fit anything.
Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water
whilst shaking it up and down showing my friends how it doesn't skip.
Skipping. Damn how annoying that was!
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.
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!?
This is a slept on album. Good choice
I stopped listening to metal in my late teens. But I came back to this album this week and it is really fantastic. Good shit. I used to fall asleep to it in my early teens.
It's hard to imagine a bigger wall of sound than Metallica and an entire fucking orchestra. I would have loved to have been in that room.
Fatboy Slim - You've Come a Long Way, Baby / Better Living Through Chemistry
Right about now
The funk soul brotha check it out now
Something I custom burned myself. Either a mix of ska/punk or an abridged version of The Fragile.
Slipknot - Slipknot or maybe Papa Roach - Papa Roach.
Weird Al - Running with scissors
My burnt cd of " Cool Music" I downloaded off LimeWire.
Moby-Play
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
Can I get a piracy playlist? Where Napster at?
I bought almost every CD mentioned but own none of them now.
Black hole sun. Won't you come? Wash away the rain....
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.
The Rio PMP was loaded with some Offspring or Cult. It was small on storage and slow to load but a wonderful device otherwise. No skipping.
Club Cutz. It's a music cd with various dance hits, from 1995. I used to be obsessed with it.
Saxon, Crusader album
Kidneythieves- Trickster
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.
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.
Incubus-morning view
White Pony by Deftones
The soundtrack to the movie Tomb Raider.

Crystal Method’s Tweekend.
I heard that before Vegas and still prefer it.
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.
The Offspring - Conspiracy of One
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.
Covenant - Nexus Polaris.
And now I have to go down the memory lane and listen to them. Damn you.
Thursday - Full Collapse
NIИ - The Fragile. We're in this together now!
The (Tobey Maguire) spider-man movie official soundtrack
