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

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.
Diskman.
Either a TDK or Maxell one. If I'm broke, Arita.
Incubus, The Donnas, Alicia Keys, Rammstein.
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.
Fuck that Walkman, right around that year or maybe 2002 was when I had a RioVolt SP250. And it was friggin awesome.

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.
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
Saxon, Crusader album
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.
Crystal Method’s Tweekend.
I heard that before Vegas and still prefer it.
Thursday - Full Collapse
Cats soundtrack
Covenant - Nexus Polaris.
And now I have to go down the memory lane and listen to them. Damn you.
This!
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.
Stepa, Incubus, Korn, Linkin Park,...
Slipknot, any of their stuff really, all of it was welcome lol.
Was big into S-Club 7 at the time.
I was like 9 though so don't judge me too hard
Metallica, and Iron Maiden mostly.
Something from one of the Trojan ska/reggae box sets. Maybe Op Ivy.
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.
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.
