Not old enough, but if I was, Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray are the only ones I listen to old enough to fit the bill.
I am old enough and I wish I was cool enough to know about Blind Guardian at the time.
If I got a deeply self-indulgent trip in the DeLorean to load up little baby mindbleach's music collection, there'd be a lot more Slayer, Meshuggah, and Devin Townsend. Aaand owing to how much techno I was into at the time, probably Fat Of The Land and Mezzanine.
Prog rock wouldn't land before college.
Stepa, Incubus, Korn, Linkin Park,...
Sabaton and Iron maiden.
I only owned CD-RW lots of Eminem, crazy train, trapt, SOAD, Metallica, linkin park, pantera, no doubt. Shit my mom probably still has all my music on our old W98 e-machine
Something from one of the Trojan ska/reggae box sets. Maybe Op Ivy.
Kool Keith Black Elvis - Lost in Space
Since I Left You, by The Avalanches
Venetian Snares - "Making Orange Things"
Cats soundtrack
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.
Fastball - All the Pain Money Can Buy
Probably Stunt.
... nonzero chance it'd be Tubthumper.
I didn't use a portable CD player much before getting one with MP3-CD support, and I loaded up one CD with everything I thought was worthwhile. But aside from all three Deftones albums and some loose Limewire detritus I am now unclear what would be there. Presumably I still have the CD lying around... somewhere.
Freestyler.
INCredible Sounds of Drum and Bass Mixed by Goldie or Colours by Adam F, or some mp3 disk with all my Napster downloads because mine had mp3 support.
NoFX - The Decline
The Attraction to All Things Uncertain by Tweaker
I'll bet I was the only 6th grader jamming to that one on a Walkman. I still listen to that band and that album. It's quite fucking good.
Craig Richards - Fabric 01
Ahhhh, I tended to keep things in rotation, but I was playing the hell out of bluegrass that year in general
The last cd I remember playing on the CD player was Korn Issues. Good ole days !!
I got a discman in 95ish and listened to STP - Core, Blind Melon, and RHCP - What Hits mostly. It took two AA batteries and only lasted for 4-5 hours.
In 2001 I had a Phillips portable CD player that used 1 AA and lasted for 12+ hours. I was listening to Lateralus, Guster - Lost and Gone Forever, Mer de Noms, and Pump Up the Valuum.
