At 15 I had a pretty decent collection going.

Pet Shop Boys - all of their albums up through Disco 3.

Tears for Fears - all of their albums up through Raoul and the Kings of Spain.

New Order - Substance 1987

Franz Ferdinand - debut

The Strokes - Is This It

The National - debut

REM - Monster, New Adventures, and Reveal

…and then all of the Final Fantasy soundtracks bought from a local import store. Yes I am a goon.

When I turned 15? Almost nothing but rap. N.W.A, Eazy-E, Wu Tang, Warren G, Nas, Beatnuts, Ice Cube, etc. etc. But by the time I turned 16 it was literally this:

I was an odd one when I was a teen. I didn't have CD's but I had mix tapes that I recorded from other people's CD's, off TV/Radio and off LP's. An example would be

Traci Lords - Control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRX_ZMn6LBw
Orbital - Halcyin _ on+ on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ekUQTpVohg
George Michael - Too Funky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ2DVwSVIIo
B52's - Good Stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqfL6_6qEJY
Bass is Base - Funkmobile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctKAwgxpASQ (still a fave)
Basil Poledouris - The Kitchen/Orgy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2l--Px9vf0
Positive K - I've got a man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvYIpa1Ulvw

When I was a teen I was kind of out of the loop in terms of what was popular. For example, one day I showed up to school and everyone was wearing a Kurt Cobain shirt and I had no idea who that fucker was. I only liked a few modern (at the time) rocks songs and mostly liked techno, rap, pop and stuff that could be considered chillout or DNB. I was never into metal or aggro rock or whatever.

My first cd was the Marshall Mather's LP and then I called my mom a human being for the lols and my dad broke the cd after listening to it. To this day I dont know what song he made it to but I doubt he got past Kill You

Pretty sure 15 was the age I was when I got my first CD player. I already had a big tape collection. A lot of the first CDs I got were albums from bands I already liked and couldn’t find on tape. I think my first were

They Might Be Giants - Lincoln
Black Flag - the First Four Years
Dead Milkmen - Beelzebubba
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
The Clash - London Calling
Metallica - And Justice For All
Butthole Surfers - Psychic… Powerless… Another Man’s Sac

I collected more over the next few years and had one of those big dumb towers that I took with to college only to have my apartment broken into and the entire thing stolen, maybe 50 CDs. ☹️

all I can recall with my head clouded by cider and a headache are the Petshop Boys CD that came in an orange jewelcase with LEGO like bumps and a Snoop Dogg cassette I bought because it had a comic inside (turned out Ol' Snoop finds the two connotations of the word 'bitch' simply hilarious)

e: both of those albums I hadn't even thought about in twenty years.

Does anyone remember Coldplay? I remember those CDs being so popular at Barnes & Noble back in the day.

Now I have a weird nostalgic connection between Coldplay, mass-market paperbacks, and Starbucks coffee.

Those were the kind of friends that always had either a Neo Geo or one of the obsolete within a month piece of poo poo systems like a 3D0 or CD-i.

at fifteen, my music collection was roughly equal parts Beatles, Beatles’ solo careers (largely George’s and John’s), Björk and “Weird Al” Yankovic. imo it’s not at all a bad nucleus around which to branch off and expand into a proper relationship with music as a whole, but of course I would say that

I was 15 in 1993 and owned a ton of cassette tapes but few CDs. The first CD I remember buying was The Cure's album "Wish," which came out in 1992.

I can't remember all the tapes I owned at 15 but I do remember 1993 was the year the Afghan Whigs' album "Gentlemen" was released, and I was completely loving obsessed with it. I was an innocent Catholic school girl, and that album felt like my first glimpse into an adult world of twisted, toxic love, and OH MAN was that powerful stuff.

Your post made me think of the American Psycho Hewey Lewis scene. Looked it up and the movie was set in 1987.

I was fifteen in 1996 which was a pretty poo poo year for music. I had a fuckton of cassettes and my mom’s record collection, but didn’t get a CD player til that year, almost solely for bootlegs. Remember when used CD stores had an “import” section that was nothing but live poo poo and obscurities? That was my jam.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

When I was a teenager, I bought like 1000 records at auctions for pennies each. Then lost them over time because I'm dumb.

My first CDs were:

Green Day - Dookie
Fugees - The Score
Boyz II Men - The Remix Collection
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
Kid Frost - Hispanic Causing Panic
De La Soul - De La Soul is Dead

I think that's a decent start to a CD collection for the time.

I bought a lot of that stuff because I was a nerd and I remember classmates thinking my CD collection sucked because it was a lot of import singles with a capella, instrumentals, and b-sides. I used my school's G3 Macs to make a mashup of Eminem's "Just Don't Give a gently caress" over Beatnuts' "Watch Out Now.

I think that was one of those things back in the day that separated a casual music listener from someone who actually wanted to do something with music.

This is the best collection posted so far and pretty close to my tape collection. Fun story about those Dead Milkmen albums: I friggin LOVED (and still do to this day) that band but didn't have anything by them. My uncle was a garbage collector that was constantly picking cool poo poo out of the trash and came over one day and was like "hey bud, you like all that weird music right? Here ya go." and gave me Big Lizard in my Backyard, Beelzebubba, and Eat Your Paisley along with MOD-Gross Misconduct and Surfin' MOD and an live Anthrax VHS.

I was 15 in 1979 so no CDs. I had plenty of songs taped off the radio but I deny owning some of it. I had a copy of Casey Casim's top forty for some random week in 78 but it's probably long gone.

I now recall that I got a bunch of cds from Columbia house or whatever the gently caress record club was around back in the mid 90s or so.
I'm going home this weekend, I should check out my cd shelf (holy gently caress remember those things?) and see which others I probably got around my 15 year mark.

Around 2000 my CD collection was (mostly pirated or burnt) Metallica, NIN, tool, soundgarden, foo fighters, pop will eat itself, prodigy, ramones, radiohead, weezer and my coveted 4 disc set of rock n roll hits - like one of those time life tv ones, I have no idea how I come to own it but I loved it. My grandma bought me a legit copy of Aenima in the end :3:

The only thing I don't still listen to is foo fighters, just overkill on the radio. The Colour and the Shape really still owns though.

Aside: something was busted in my CD player that track 1's never played without skipping and really fuckin up so I still don't really know a lot of the track 1's well

e; Just remembered I stole Metallicas' black album from a party so never had the cover or anything, no regerts either
