I feel the urge to share this very random (and somewhat specific) memory that relates to this album.

When I was a freshman in high school, a friend of mine let me borrow this CD. I was so desperate to have the songs for my own that I actually recorded the songs from the CD onto a cassette tape (yes a cassette tape in the 2000’s…)

I remember having late night hockey games as a part of what is/was known as the VFW league in MN Bantam hockey. Those games could be all over the metro at the strangest times on a weeknight. I specifically remember my mom driving me to late night games and her letting me play the tape in her 1998 Volvo station wagon. Now and then we would stop at an Applebee’s and share a soda and a half off app or desert or whatever just because she was having a good time talking with me (or at least she said she did :joy:)

My Mom was so damn cool.

This is a strong transition…to say the least. I’m physically unable to like this any more emphatically than I already have. Agreed on Cudi ass well.

I have taken a sabbatical, but here we go, this will show an interesting transition through adolescence:

Jock Jams - Volume 1 (It was this or the Space Jam soundtrack, I defaulted)
Oasis - What’s the Story Morning Glory
Collective Soul - Dosage
Outkast - Stankonia
DMB - Crash
Nelly - Country Grammar
Kanye West - The College Dropout
Snow Patrol - Eyes Open
T.I. - Paper Trail
Lil’ Wayne - Tha Carter III

I was very tempted to add Big Willie Style, just couldn’t do it…

Big fan of Eyes Open, but how did it land between Nelly, Kanye, TI and Wayne? :rofl:

Grew up in a small town in western NC, no genre was off limits. Also, tried to keep this as chronologically accurate as possible.

Good lord this is extremely difficult. I’ve got a list of 18 artists and more than half have at least two albums I can list.

I didn’t even mention the 2 Casualties albums I listened to like crazy from ages 13-15

No ā€œwhat it is to burnā€

No ā€œpass the flaskā€

No ā€œfrail words collapseā€

Not a mention of ā€œthe story of the clashā€

Or ā€œSticks and Stonesā€

Feeling like I messed stuff up.

Edit: Who is Mike Jones?

I saw this tiktok via a KVV retweet
