Probably some obscure shit that I downloaded off of AudioGalaxy because it wasn't available on CD anywhere. Gun Glub comes to mind.

Saxon, Crusader album

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

Crystal Method’s Tweekend.

I heard that before Vegas and still prefer it.

[–] jrwperformance@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

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.

Random stuff from anime and movies downloaded from Napster or ripped from other CDs and burned to CD-Rs. I would never go traveling with the copy I purchased. Oh and Weird Al.

Heideroosjes - Kung Fu

Everybody loves oldskool Dutch punk, right?

[–] DarylDutch@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Fuck yeah man. Just listening to the album now while enjoying our one day of sun. Still fucking relevant.

I had that model discman but red.

Popped that little insert out accidentally but it still worked and played CDs.

With that insert out I could put a marker on the CD as it was spinning and I could make cool spiral designs.

Good tiles

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.

Thursday - Full Collapse

Fuck that Walkman, right around that year or maybe 2002 was when I had a RioVolt SP250. And it was friggin awesome.

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.

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Diskman.

Either a TDK or Maxell one. If I'm broke, Arita.

Something from one of the Trojan ska/reggae box sets. Maybe Op Ivy.

[–] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Chronic 2001

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

A burned CD with a carefully selected mix of anime songs, alt rock, and folk punk. Not carefully selected because they went well together, but because IIRC the cheap CDs then didn’t hold a ton of songs.

Since I Left You, by The Avalanches

Stepa, Incubus, Korn, Linkin Park,...

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Astro-Creep: 2000, Smash, Aenima, and Antichrist Superstar were getting a lot of play back then along with a ton of others, I had a 100ish cd case that was full.
