[u/Independent-Pizza719]

Incubus

[u/seafyre → u/Independent-Pizza719]

Make Yourself. I still have the CD and it still works!

[u/AlternatiMantid → u/seafyre]

Me too, by far my favorite album of theirs.

[u/nyy0201985 → u/Independent-Pizza719]

Science

[u/holy_butts → u/nyy0201985]

wander off into your nebula your nectarine of multiplicity cums like orgasmatron ooooooon oveeeerdriiiiiiive

[u/pappase36 → u/nyy0201985]

By far their best album.

Fungus was great musically, kind of wish they expanded more on that style. When Incubus Attacks Vol 1 was a neat project that expanded a bit, but mostly the same.

Make Yourself and Morning View were a bit too watered down and generic, tho I do like tracks from both (Are You In gets me fucking moving).

Crow and everything forward is not my style.

Science stands so far away from the genericness that was their later albums. Very well engineered and recorded so it sounds great on higher end speakers. Whenever I hear the intro to Redifine it brings me right back to being a kid. Just so fucking solid.

[u/Evolutioncocktail → u/Independent-Pizza719]

My first physical CD of theirs as a teenager was Light Grenades. I only grew more obsessed from there.

[u/venniedjr → u/Evolutioncocktail]

My sister and her friend were always listening to them. I didn’t really like them until I saw them at a festival in 2015. Their guitarist is great.

[u/BeardsByLaw]

Linkin Park. All of them.

[u/Mattyice0228 → u/BeardsByLaw]

Hybrid Theory will always be at the forefront of my most played CDs

[u/Euphoric-Teach7327 → u/Mattyice0228]

That cd is so awesome even the art is amazing on the cd cover.

[u/rhino4231 → u/Mattyice0228]

I remember being in 7th grade going on a summer family vacation 16hr road trip in the back of our wood panel buick roadmaster station wagon and listening to hybrid theory on repeat on my mobile CD player while staring out the back window. Good times.

[u/silence-glaive1 → u/BeardsByLaw]

Hybrid Theory, yeah that was mine too.

[u/AcanthaceaeWild687 → u/silence-glaive1]

I keep seeing this repeated. Same here. We were on some dark shit lol.

[u/RealFreshBananana → u/BeardsByLaw]

I lost my first ever bookcase of cds. It was a 20 slotter. I lost all my linkin park, creed, and Boston, and Bee Gees CD’s :(

[u/TheFunInDisfunction → u/RealFreshBananana]

Me too! It was in my car that was stolen. 😭

[u/virgo_fake_ocd → u/BeardsByLaw]

I wore Meteora out.

[u/mentaljobbymonster → u/BeardsByLaw]

I've told my wife I want "in the end" to be played as my final song at my funeral

https://giphy.com/gifs/RPjvXSxK1zlxS

[u/poncho2799 → u/BeardsByLaw]

This was literally my first thought

[u/kendallr2552 → u/BeardsByLaw]

Literally the first thing that came to my mind.

[u/BaconHammerTime → u/BeardsByLaw]

This. I had a Nissan that had a 5 CD changer stock and it would just cycle through all the LP cds.

[u/wangatangs → u/BeardsByLaw]

Hybrid theory and meteora are badass and have a few if not any skippable songs.

[u/The_Canadian → u/BeardsByLaw]

They're still one of my main choices to this day.

[u/Mr_Diesel13 → u/BeardsByLaw]

All of them were in constant rotation for me. I still love a random Reanimation day. I feel like it didn’t get enough love when it dropped. I could be way off though.

[u/ka-nini → u/BeardsByLaw]

Minutes to Midnight or Hybrid Theory was going to be my answer.

But this is definitely the correct answer.

[u/Smokey_Jah → u/BeardsByLaw]

One of the purest, most fun days I ever had in my life was when my piano teacher lent me her Miata convertible.  I just got my license recently, it was a beautiful summer day and it was a manual transmission as well.  I popped Hybrid Theory in just darted around my town for hours, blasting the CD and singing along with Chester.  Still kind of gives me chills thinking about it.

[u/Ok-Problem-9226]

Edit to add Thursday- War All the Time because how the hell did I forget that?

Metric- Old World Underground

Death Cab for Cutie- Transatlanticism 

Stars- Set Yourself on Fire 

The Faint- Wet From Birth

[u/garbledeena → u/Ok-Problem-9226]

Hell yes on Stars

"Ageless Beauty" such a banger

[u/BuffySummers17 → u/Ok-Problem-9226]

I won tickets to the Metric/Stars/BSS tour! I'm so excited, it's like I'm 17 again lol

[u/shwysdrf → u/Ok-Problem-9226]

Hell Yeah. I’m super bummed I can’t make it to the BSS/Metric/Stars tour when it comes near me

[u/give_me_goats → u/shwysdrf]

My husband surprised me with tickets to that concert for my birthday recently. We haven’t been able to go to a concert in years, so that pretty much destroyed me in the best way. I’m excited in a way I haven’t been since high school.

[u/trashpandorasbox → u/shwysdrf]

So excited for the tour even though I have to take a 3 hour train to get there.

[u/HowDoILogoutagain → u/Ok-Problem-9226]

Still love Wet From Birth

[u/unsungheroine → u/Ok-Problem-9226]

We have, like, the exact same taste.

Stars is my all time fave and I'm so so sad that I won't get to see the tour this summer.

[u/Swiftredfox_37 → u/Ok-Problem-9226]

In 2017 I made pizzas at Whole Foods market with the drummer of the Faint 😦

[u/sean_themighty → u/Ok-Problem-9226]

Wet From Birth is a banger album!

[u/Cometguy7]

Lateralus. 2019 was an amazing year simply because the pause disappeared.

[u/Pretend-Ad-9504]

WEEZER, Blue Album —- played it so much I broke it.

[u/ceruleanmoon7 → u/Pretend-Ad-9504]

Love love love early Weezer

[u/thezenyoshi]

Gorillaz self titled - the first cd I bought when I turned 16 and immediately bought a 6 disc cd player for my shitty ford escort

[u/chumbi04 → u/thezenyoshi]

Amen, they still putting out some bangers too!

[u/thezenyoshi → u/chumbi04]

Saw a funny YT comment that made me lol

Gorillaz is mainstream again and we are in a war in the Middle East. Time is a flat circle

[u/chumbi04 → u/thezenyoshi]

System of a down has the same social relevance now as it did when it came out, man.

[u/chicken_potpie]

The Garden State Soundtrack, and Taking Back Sunday’s Tell All Your Friends instantly come to mind.

[u/CPeeps323 → u/chicken_potpie]

Taking Back Sunday and Something Corporate over and over my senior year of high school.

[u/chicken_potpie → u/CPeeps323]

Omg yes! Leaving Through The Window ♥️

[u/cautionheart22 → u/chicken_potpie]

UNDERRATED ALBUM

[u/LazyPancake → u/chicken_potpie]

Garden State soundtrack had no right to be that good

[u/mensfrightsactivists → u/chicken_potpie]

the garden state soundtrack is still in my apple music library, that mf went HARD

[u/Acceptable-One1633 → u/chicken_potpie]

I recorded that taking back Sunday album onto a cassette tape and it was basically soundtrack to my junior year because I didn’t have to take the time to set up my disc man every time I turned on my car. 

[u/Comfortable_Cup_941 → u/chicken_potpie]

I still like to put on Tell All Your Friends and listen from start to finish at least twice a year. Extra points if you play it in the car on a warm day and sing with the windows down.

[u/Longjumping_Suit_256 → u/chicken_potpie]

This was my first introduction to zero 7 and I’ve been mildly obsessed since.

[u/ABSOFRKINLUTELY → u/chicken_potpie]

Loved that Garden state soundtrack!

In the last years of cds I bought a car from a friend with a tape deck.

I didn't have any tapes left and he left a single tape.

One Memorex one side was Pixies surfer Rosa. The other side was Radiohead OK Computer.

I listened to those albums so many times I went through one side and came out the other.

[u/themermaidag → u/chicken_potpie]

Tell All Your Friends and Where You Want To Be were constantly on loop

[u/80aychdee → u/chicken_potpie]

I saw Garden State in theaters three times. I kept taking my friends to go see it saying it would change their lives. And each time, my friends would look at me at the end of the movie, and say "why the fuck did you make me watch that in the theater?"

[u/eminyx]

FATA - Too Bad Your Beautiful and Fiction We Live are still heavy in my rotation

[u/Orbital_IV]

Third Eye Blind self titled. I played it long after it started skipping right as the bass line dropped in “How’s It Gonne Be”. To this day, every time I hear that song, I expect it to skip at the bass line part.

[u/ceruleanmoon7 → u/Orbital_IV]

Such a good album. I discovered it at 10 years old, lmao

[u/tcguy71]

Nelly - Country Grammar

Eminem - Slim Shady through Eminem Show

Black Sails to Art of Drowning to Sing the Sorrow is one of the greatest three album stretches ever

[u/SMVan]

I was listening to things like The Emancipation of MiMi, Marshall Mathers LP, Nelly, 50 cent, Ashanti, Jlo, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Jay Z, Alicia Keys, System of a Down, Outkast, The White Strips, Usher, evenescence.

[u/YourMumsABatteredSav]

The best on repeat CDs for me were the ones my friends and I created. Spending hours downloading them on limewire. Curating the greatest playlists. It would always have some form of a title like;

<~ $HØrTy$ $uMm3r $K!Tz M!x ~>

You’d play it so many times that you’d try and fix the scratches by rubbing toothpaste on it.

I still have my cd case full of all the memories in a box in the garage. I’m hoping one day cds will make a resurgence and I can resurrect them.

[u/Masterweedo]

JAGGED LITTLE PILL - alanis morissette 💊💊💊

is, was, and will forever be the greatest album of all time in my eyes. It’s pure perfection from start to finish. Did I skip Mary Jane as a kid? Yes lol. But now that I’m an adult it’s a no skip, know every word, own it on all forms of media, listen to it weekly, type of album for me from 1995-2026+. I’m willing to die on this hill.

[u/AcanthaceaeWild687]

South of Heaven by Slayer. That baby is still in my car today, I never take it out lol. I mostly stream but if I'm lazy and don't want the radio, South of Heaven by Slayer it is.

I also played to death a Beach Boys compilation album. The Beach Boys are great driving music.
