Last time I remember playing something in a Discman was Nirvana’s Unplugged back in 1994 on a bus ride to Chicago with my high school chemistry class. The next year my Pop put a CD head unit in my CRX for my birthday and it was bye-bye Discman. No more plugging it into the cigarette lighter for juice and having the passenger be a human disc changer. Haha!!
Jr/Sr year in high school My taste was spoonfed by whatever our MN hard rock station (93x) played.
Pearl Jam - Binaural Pearl Jam - Euro 2000 boots (this was the impetus of finding this message board and learning the was a fan club) Green Day - Warning Operation Ivy Blink 182 - discography Rancid - discography Led zeppelin- discography Metallica - discography Sublime - discography Smashing Pumpkins - machina Creed's debut Staind's debut Deftones- white pony ACDC - Can't remember the title, it had I Feel Safe in NYC on it. Tool - aenima A Perfect Circle (came out the same day as an Eminem album. Argued with the checkstand girl when she asked if I downloaded anything from that album....rockist me said that Eminem wouldn't even be relevant in 20 years) RHCP - Californication

Some albums were older but were still in heavy rotation. Napster was the greatest thing in the world to me at the time because I could finally get to hear songs that I couldn't find anywhere else.
This one has lasted me almost 20 years after my original crapped out. It was a beast back in the days of MP3 CDs before digital files made them irrelevant. It also serves as our primary CD player in our living room attached to the stereo receiver
I was spinning the new discs from A Perfect Circle, Disturbed, Nonpoint, Linkin Park, Outkast, The Beatles (number 1's compilation), The Best of the Doors, RATM Renegades, Eminem, PJ, Godsmack, Staind, Tool, Limp Bizkit (pissed they broke PJ's record for sales in a week though). Sadly, I also listened to a lot of Nickelback's The State, although I never bought it, just ripped from Napster.
Still spinning these quite a bit in early 2000: Metallica S&M, Sevendust, Dr. Dre, Korn, STP, Incubus, Creed, NIN, Static X and RATM from previous fall.
