NoFX - The Decline
Slipknot - Slipknot or maybe Papa Roach - Papa Roach.
Probably Ok Computer, that album just blew me away. Or Kid A if that was out.
Kid A was already out by then, I’m pretty sure Amnesiac dropped in ‘01
If we’re talking about the music I had in 2001, probably something like Audio Adrenaline or The Beatles’ Lonely Hearts Club Band. Christian music and a small selection of classic rock was all my parents let me listen to at the time.
If we’re basing it on current tastes though, probably something like My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless or Orange Goblin’s Time Travelling Blues.
I had a similar upbringing, and still love My Bloody Valentine like the day I first heard them in college. More, really. I was a little disappointed to find that my new favorite genre shoegaze really just boiled down to MBV for me though haha
+1 for Audio A.
Mine was one of those rugged ones. I don’t remember if I had picked up STP yet or if it was still weird al
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.
INCredible Sounds of Drum and Bass Mixed by Goldie or Colours by Adam F, or some mp3 disk with all my Napster downloads because mine had mp3 support.
White Pony by Deftones
Ahhhh, I tended to keep things in rotation, but I was playing the hell out of bluegrass that year in general
Daft Punk - Discovery
I grew up in a Christian household, so probably Newsboys (the original model) or Audio Adrenaline.
Add DC Talk, Switchfoot and Reliant K.
Regatta de Blanc
Crystal Method’s Tweekend.
I heard that before Vegas and still prefer it.
Probably some obscure shit that I downloaded off of AudioGalaxy because it wasn’t available on CD anywhere. Gun Glub comes to mind.
I had a Walkman that played MP3s. I recall it being a pearly blue color. Listened to a lot of different yet similar stuff. Mostly metal, alt, punk, and classic rock.
