I love discussing music with Derek. During a chat yesterday, he shared with me an album from his teen years. I, too, wanted to share a memorable album with him from the same era, but I could not recall a specific memory. In hindsight, I wish I’d logged my music experience during my formative years.
Oh! But wait, I still have a couple of “car visor CD holders” stored in the closet! Other than transporting them from one closet to the next over the past two decades, I haven’t listened to a Compact Disc since 2012, when I started using Spotify. Let’s bust out the discs and try to match a memory with each.
Here are 40 music CDs Alicia and I could not stop playing during the 2000s and 2010s with a few quips for my own memories. 😎
Freddy VS. JASON Sndtrk: purchased after seeing the film in 2003 
Staind – Dysfunction: During a HS talent show or Battle of the Bands, Ryan Furr asked me to join him on vocals during the Subzīd cover of Mudshovel. 
The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness (Deluxe Edition): Jesse Kirkpatrick lent me this in 1999 and I never returned it. 
Staind – Break The Cycle: Having already owned their debut, of course I snagged their sophomore album shortly after HS grad in 2001. 
Audioslave – Audioslave: 2002-11-07, probably bought this from BestBuy in Evansville, IN while attending Oakland City Univ 
Disturbed – Ten Thousand Fists: fond memories of rocking out with Alicia while we both attended OCU 
Mudvayne – The End Of All Things To Come: 2002-11-12 Another OCU heavy-play 
Please do not ask why. I literally have no idea as to why we have not just one, but THREE copies of the Limp Bizkit – Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water. Maybe Alicia and I each owned one and an accidental purchase of clean lyrics version?
