When I was 15, my CD collection was absolutely poo poo. This was probably due to the fact that the first CD would not be released for another 7 years. I did have a decent LP collection. Mostly classic rock (just called Rock back then), and soundtracks.

EdsTeioh posted: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. Dead Milkmen are stupid and cool. Big Lizard is a classic. They were oddly enough the first band I really noticed what the bass was doing, their bass player was great. I ordered a t shirt from an insert in one of their tapes (pre internet) and it finally came like six months later.

I wasn't allowed to buy any rap CD's. I eventually ignored this decree, but my first CD's were an eclectic bunch: Dave Matthews-Before These Crowded Streets Metallica-Master of Puppets(still headbang to this one) Backstreet Boys-S/T Led Zeppelin II Rage Against the Machine-Evil Empire Blink 182-Dude Ranch That Lit album about quicksand and Las Vegas or something. Not long after, I got more into punk and bought a bunch of classic and contemporary CD's. Rancid, Operation Ivy, Green Day, Sex Pistols, Suicide Machines were some of my favorites.

I turned 15 in late 1994 & spent most of 1995 at that age, so my collection was mainly hip hop if we’re talking (at the time) new stuff. Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die Dangerous Minds Soundtrack Friday Soundtrack Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - E. 1999 Eternal Tupac Shakur - Me Against the World Nas - Illmatic Warren G - Regulate… G-Funk Era Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik Beastie Boys - Ill Communication Too Short - Cocktails There was also some R&B, pop, and alternative that I liked. Boyz II Men - II TLC - CrazySexyCool Montell Jordan - This Is How We Do It Hootie & the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View Batman Forever Soundtrack Green Day - Dookie Portishead - Dummy Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Soundgarden - Superunknown Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral Beck - Mellow Gold Weezer - Weezer And of course, the usual dad and mom rock like The Beatles, the Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elton John, the Motown/Stax/Atlantic sound, and various other ‘60s and ‘70s stuff.

vizyeay posted:first album i bought was Paul's Boutique by the B-Boys, also got Demon Days and Master of Puppets that same year. That reminds me, that as lovely as The Source was, especially the way Benzino used the magazine to promote his terrible albums and tried to use dirt on Eminem as a stepping stone for his rap career, their 100th anniversary issue had a list of all their 5 mic albums. I bought Paul's Boutique based off their recommendation as well as several others. They were good recommendations.

 These. I think I got up to 12 or something before I stopped giving a gently caress. The rest of my CD collection was rounded out with Ween, Tool, Eminem, Ludacris, various other rappers, and several classic rock albums so people knew I was still "with it". Also many, many film soundtracks. The soundtrack to "O Brother Where Art Thou?" was a particular favorite of mine as teenager.  Nthing Final Fantasy soundtracks. Pretty sure they were Chinese bootlegs tho.

At 15, a bud of mine came back from the Czech Republic and showed me the video to Rammstein's song Sonne, which I guess was making the rounds on their MTV or whatever. It just clicked hard as poo poo for me, had to hunt down the album cause it was still import then. Huge fan since, hoping to see them live next year. Since this would be 2002, I would probably also had Primus, Rage Against the Machine, AC/DC, Nine Inch Nails, and Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" which came free on the Gateway computer my mom bought burned onto a CD-RW.

That would have been, what, 1998? Pop music, none at all, other than the soundtrack to Evita. Selecting ten Baroque albums, I had:
Others, too, but those I remember most fondly. Alcina remains my desert island opera.

CD players weren't really mainstream yet in 1989. Wiki makes it sound like they were the poo poo back in the early 80s, but they really didn't make it till the latelate 80s and mostly early 90s. I think there was some breakout year during christmas where a company made an affordable one and it was the thing to have because overnight the stores went from tapes to CDs. Anyway. Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time Iron Maiden - Live After Death (Mom used to wake me up with this) Iron Maiden - Powerslave Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast Iron Maiden - Killers Misfits - Collection 1 Janes Addiction - Nothing's Shocking Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back Pailhead - Trait Bunch Duran Duran which I liked when I was like 8. Probably a bunch of other random metal and punk and rap that was blowing up at the time. The 80s was quite the time for music, as much, if not moreso than the 90s. I still listen to everything today. Do people even make new music anymore? Tarkus posted:Traci Lords - Control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRX_ZMn6LBw This was produced by Juno Reactor, some early psytrance awesome (At the time is was just called techno, which then split to trance, then finally psytrance years later and got boring with the basketball bass and triplets) . Traci Lords had a good ear and tossed her name on a lot of decent songs other people made. Philthy fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Oct 8, 2021 |

I'm another one of the olds - CDs weren't really a thing when I was 15, and I didn't own any. Lots of records and cassette tapes, but CDs were still an expensive audiophile thing at that point.

Bach, The Ratpack Live at the Sands 1963, A radio recording of a Glenn Miller concert performed in West Germany, some bullshit world music CD I bought at Walden Books, and a mix CD-R of boomer protest rock. My taste was better than yours. I knew it then. I know it now.

Maybe you had some on cassette, but I found Pailhead odd without some Ministry or Fugazi on the list. I was too much into Duran Duran but more at like 11-12. If anyone still likes Duran Duran, you should check out Japan, with David Sylvian. I am drawing a complete blank on any other CDs I had at 15, but the very first was Skinny Puppy's Too Dark Park

When I was 15 or I guess maybe 14 since The Downward Spiral came out in 1994, I tried to buy it and the long-haired record store clerk guy wouldn't sell it to me because of the Explicit Lyrics label. So I moped around the store waiting for my mom to finish shopping there and the dude actually came and found me and said "hey your mom won't kill me if I sell this to you, will she?" and I said NO NOT AT ALL even though she would have HATED me listening to that album at the time, and I got it and I'm forever grateful to that dude because that album was really significant in turning me on to a heap of other things. Thank u record store clerk wherever u are, I hope you're at peace and happy

I figured, I get it, like rolling the dice with accurate song artists/titles from Kazaa downloads and whatnot. Like I thought the Replacement's (great) song "Anywhere Is Better Than Here" was the Goo Goo Dolls for a decade. Though, to be fair, the GGD tried very hard earlier in their career to mimic the Replacements as best they could - and they did a pretty good job, as superstar car wash and a boy named goo are really good albums IMO. Then they scored a hit with "Iris" and began their trudge into "adult modern rock" slog but oh well

At the time, I was skating, and this was my first taste of both those bands. I had NO IDEA who anyone was at the time, the Pailhead songs were just playing CONSTANTLY at the minipipes we skated. I think Pailhead was featured in a few skate videos, so it wormed its way around. 15 was the transition from my Iron Maiden metal days over to skate punk and rap stuff.

Yeah well, out of all the 80s pop music I can remember, Duran Duran at least lands on the respectable and not-crap side of the aisle. After I turned into a teenage metalhead I mostly ignored and disdained contemporary pop music as a whole but in hindsight it was a land of contrasts, as always. Some skillful and cool musicians among them. Having thought a bit more, I think the first CD I actually owned was Twillight of the Gods by Bathory, which I must have bought in 1991 or early 1992. At which point I still did not have a CD player because I had to go to a friend's house and make a copy on a tape so I could listen to it.

I got hardcore into ska. I was allowed Five Iron Frenzy (my first concert!) when I got lucky enough to find their stuff, and ironically this marked my descent into godless pinko queerdom. Tbf, they're pretty heathen pinko these days, too, put out a new album pretty recently, and the lyrics aren't subtle. By 15 I had everything they put out to that date. The other bands, I wasn't lucky enough to find, as it was right after ska wasn't really cool, but Reel Big Fish and the like were regulars in downloads. I also had the FLCL soundtracks, imported back when Rhino games existed instead of just Gamestop. No one was happy when GS took over. Mainstream stuff was scattershot: Franz Ferdinand (kept up with their albums until the fourth one- as an artgay I fell in love with them after their dada-esque video for Take Me Out) System of a Down Weezer The White Stripes The Presidents of the Untied States of America Nirvana Weird Al Nine Inch Nails- it is of particular interest to me that the Downward Spiral has had such an impact on so many in this thread. NIN is a big deal band, so of course it's popped up a lot, but that particular album really seems to stick in a lot of minds. At times, I go back to it and mull things over. It's good for being moody to. I'm glad Reznor is doing better than he was, the clips of him later saying that an artist need not be miserable to make art means a lot to me. Weirdly, the only bands I can't really go back to are SoaD and Nirvana? I don't think either of them are bad these days, but it just doesn't feel right.

Didn't own a single music CD as a teenager. I didn't care for music or spend any time listening to music, at most it was background noise via the radio or a part of computer games. I think I've bought less than 5 music CDs in my life up till now.
