Under 30s don't count because you had the internet but back in my day we had to have a physical copy of the music we listened to handy if we wanted music. That or the radio and the radio was as bad back then as it is now. I figure 15 is an interesting age to pick because it's about when your first stage of music appreciation has matured and you're on the cusp of moving onto listening to a bigger variety of genres and shedding the more childish things. 15 was when I first started getting into trip-hop and a little hip hop thanks to a new friend I'd made from England and I got over grunge. I didn't stop liking most of what I enjoyed before but it wasn't as interesting. This is as best as I can remember every record I owned at 15. Nirvana: Nevermind. Soundgarden: Superunknown. Pearl Jam: Ten Pearl Jam: Vitalogy. Pearl Jam: Vs Faith No More: The Real Thing. Faith No More: Angel Dust. Faith No More: King for a Day Fool for a Lifetime. Primus: Sailing in the Seas of Cheese. Primus: Tales from the Punchbowl. Mr Bungle: Self Titled Mr Bungle: Disco Volante. Jimi Hendrix: It was a best of album, I dunno. The Best of Jimi Hendrix? Led Zeppelin: Self Titled Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon Rage Against The Machine: Self Titled. There's not a huge variety there. I listened to more but that's what I went out in my baggy pants and airwalks to pay $30 for. I don't hate any of it now but the only thing there I would still sit down and listen to is Dark Side of the Moon.

I wasn't really allowed to buy CDs at 15. Apparently I'd grow out of it and get bored and then it was a waste of money. I only really started buying music when I was out of high school. Had some bangers tho.

Around that age I would have had like uhh Jethro Tull - Original Masters Hootie and the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table and Dreaming Frank Zappa - Strictly Commercial Pizzicato Five - Made in USA Alice in Chains - Dirt Bjork - Debut Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Kryptonite Final Fantasy: Love Will Grow (I dunno who to credit this to honestly, it's a compilation with lyrics and poo poo) I dunno that's what I can remember OP. Most of the time I just listened to the radio or whatever my dad was playing

Good poo poo all of it. Some are compilations of their touring stuff and B Sides, some of its just studio stuff. They were my favorite band until i got deep into They Might Be Giants in recent years.

I have bounced around tons of genres and I have my favorite bands out of those basically as whatever really stuck even after I moved to some other genre. Through shibuya-kei, bossa, hip hop, whatever else, I don't listen to grunge anymore except for that album. It might be my favorite album of all time really, though there's contenders but it's easily a top 5 or something.

I'd heard some Alice in Chains when I was a kid, when it was contemporary but for whatever reason it just never took here. I was in my 30s before I really got into them. To my mind they are rural American kids - the band. You show me a picture of some rust belt or fuckass nowhere desert town and Alice in Chains is the soundtrack to that place.

On the subject of TMBG one of the absolute killers of their older songs, requires THE STICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE2q-1xA4w0 I feel linell gets a lot of spotlight cause of songs like birdhouse in your soul but flansburgh kills it on this track with nothing but vocals and a heavily modified log

circa 2000? i lived in self inflicted music hell bands/labels i was obsessive about: - radiohead (starting with kid a, i liked all those weird little "blips" videos as well and stayed up late watching their weird webcasts). i knew two (2) other radiohead fans in school - ECM records. my drama teacher in school had used tracks from "rites" by jan garbarek which i guess is an album of mainly airy fairy world music with a bit of nu-jazz going on. i bought that album and this resuted in me going in hard on the airy fairy poo poo and having music taste that horribly isolated me from everyone around me for several years. i liked jan garbarek, pat metheny, terje rypdal and a few others i think. never got into keith jarrett at that time because for some reason i didn't like solo piano when i was 15. - warp records - i think when i was 15 i was only just getting into that kind of stuff because i distinctly remember seeing a review of boards of canada's geogaddi on teletext, and thinking it looked good and buying it only having listened to one track on the website (these were days of poverty). the guy in the record shop asked if i was buying it by mistake because the cover looked like the new chemical brothers album (which i didn't buy). i also distinctly remember pissing off everyone around me by listening to aphex twin's drukqs on cheap lovely little earbuds other things i had on CD: - gorillaz: gorillaz - i was self conscious about how weird the first track was - massive attack: mezzanine - my dad liked it and later on i tried to get him into other massive attack records but he didn't like them. - groove armada: vertigo - this was my one chillout record that i had. it was ok - jamiroquai: synkronized - i bought this because of the godzilla movie. i liked the instrumental track "destitute illusions" - alanis morrissette: jagged little pill - i'm pretty sure i ordered this from britannia music club (i ordered mezzanine from there as well) - orbital: the altogether - thought it was crap it makes me sad to think about how much akwardness, isolation, conflict and outright abuse i had to suffer as a teenager at that time just to listen to the loving music i liked. i am glad nobody has to sit with their dick in their hand wondering whether or not they want to purchase a loving compact disc any more, and that those days are gone and soon to be forgotten

Self inflicted music hell? There's a lot of extremely good poo poo there. - orbital: the altogether - thought it was crap I have never had trips like I had listening to the Orbital. - massive attack: mezzanine - my dad liked it and later on i tried to get him into other massive attack records but he didn't like them. That is one of the best albums ever. If you have a top 100 albums of the 19th century that has to be on it somewhere. You can argue its position from 1-100 based on taste it deserves a spot somewhere. - Radiohead are one of the greatest bands in the history of music. Goons of a certain age are really insecure about the music they liked in their formative years because they associate it with their lack of social success but Radiohead is just really good music.

Funky See Funky Do posted:Why? Were they racist? Aww, they were racist weren't they? They're really sad. Dirt has a bunch of songs about the misery of addiction and feelings of being helpless and not worth helping. Alice in Chains didn't narrate a story like Pearl Jam did, so they weren't going to just say "ohhhhhhh my heroinnnnn addictionnnnnnnnnn nnhrmmmhyhahhh" but God Smack and Junkhead are pretty clear. Layne Staley often wrote songs about his own addiction to heroin, and the songs that aren't about that on Dirt are still really, really rough.

I bought my first album when I was 15 and it was Jewel - Spirit. Everybody likes to make fun of Jewel now but that was my gateway into other folk singer-songwriters and you know what, idc that album still slaps. My hands are small I know but they're not yours they are my own!!

CDs? Uh, none at that age. They were on the market by then but hadn't really replaced analog media yet and I didn't even own a CD player until I was like 20. Did have some LPs and some tapes though. Some random then-contemporary pop poo poo that I mostly don't remember anymore, from before I started actually forming an interest in music. When I was about 14 I started getting into "real" rock music and collected things like every Bruce Springsteen album that existed at the time. Also some of what we'd call "heavy rock" such as Bon Jovi or Europe. Then just before I turned 16 I started high school and discovered "real" metal, pretty sure I managed to acquire at least one album each by Metallica, Slayer and Iron Maiden while I was still 15.

For every store bought CD I had, I burned about 5 music cds full of crap I picked up from shady websites and kazaa so I could play it all on my disc-man. The ones I bought were amongst others; Best of Guns N Roses (Loved that poo poo, but looking at it now its an abysmal "best of" album), Metallica's S&M, Offspring's Americana, the first 2 Linkin Park CDs and a shitton of singles from Eminem, Limp Bizkit and that one Smooth Criminal cover by Alien Ant Farm... Its funny how locked on I was to metal back then, meanwhile these days I listen to every genre of music. The internet and access to online music options really helped to broaden my horizon.

In 1995 I was 15-16 and the only ones I distinctly remember were all the Beastie boys albums that had been released up to that point. Probably the Beavis and butthead experience, and maybe a few random Beatles and or beach boys albums. Fake edit: drat! All that poo poo starting with 'bea'!

I turned 15 in '92 so my collection would've been nothing but Metallica, Slayer, Black Sabbath, Megadeth and the Led Zeppelin box set. When you're still in early high school and figuring yourself out, you kinda pick a lane and stick to it for awhile I guess.

I remember finding a used copy of the Lost Boys soundtrack at a yard sale. That bad boy stayed in my walkman for weeks. There was also that time I listened to The Downward Spiral on my walkman while playing through the campaign of Quake, only to find out that Trent Reznor did the soundtrack when I saw the end credits.
