In the era of CDs, millennials reign. As we trip down memory lane, here are 15 CDs that were the cornerstone of every millennial’s music collection, the ones that provided the soundtrack to our formative years and still trigger a wave of nostalgia at the mere sight of their covers.
Join us as we spin the disc of time and reminisce about the albums that defined a generation!
1. Big Tymers
One person said, “I was born in 1987 but didn’t get my first CD until 2000 when my sister bought me the Big Tymers CD. I was a huge cash-money fan! Lil Wayne, BG, Juvenile, and Turk.”
2. Nimrod, by Green Day
Somebody commented, “Green Day —nimrod.”
Another one replied with another studio album of the same band, “Green Day—Dookie.”
A third commenter added, “My sisters had that cassette. Loved it. We grew up poor so I didn’t get a cd player until Christmas 1997 with nimrod bc it was their current album. 13 years old I loved it almost as much as my Super Nintendo.”
3. Space Jam
“Space Jam soundtrack! At least I think so. It was either that or Savage Garden,” shared one.
“Space Jam was my first CD as well! I was 5,” replied another.
4. Tragic Kingdom, by No Doubt
One person shared, “Tragic Kingdom – No Doubt 1995.”
Somebody else added, “Yesssss this was mine too!!!”
5. No Way Out, by Puff Daddy
Somebody said, “Puff Daddy—No Way Out (1997).”
Another one replied, “That was the first album I bought my sister.”
Then the third added, “Bruh, same.”
6. Double Trouble, by Slim Shady/Eminem
“Slim Shady/Eminem double trouble: The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP. I was 11 when I convinced my older cousin to buy me these at a Best Buy that recently opened. I really shouldn’t have been listening to these lol,” said one.
“Me as well, though it was on cassette. Also, I was 11,” replied another with a similar experience.
7. Middle of Nowhere, by Hanson
Somebody commented, “Hanson—Middle of Nowhere. I was 8 in 1997.”
The second person replied, “Was that the album with mmm bop. I didn’t listen to Hanson but always thought that song was hard.”
Finally, the third added, “They were my first real obsession. I made a scrapbook so thick I had to belt it shut. I outgrew the obsession, but I still enjoy getting super drunk and singing along sometimes.”
8. Hybrid Theory, by Linkin Park
“Hybrid Theory – Linkin Park. Pretty sure the year it was released (2000), if not the year after. Before that were six CDs of LimeWire scrapings of whatever I heard on the radio. Pretty sure I knew only one song on Hybrid Theory when I bought it. Loved the whole [dang] album,” somebody said.
9. Homework, by Daft Punk
“Daft Punk—Homework It was expensive and in the back ‘import’ section in the record store. But I really wanted it after seeing the music video for around the world,” one user said.
10. Nevermind, by Nirvana
One user said, “Nirvana, Nevermind.”
The second person replied, “I scrolled wayyyy too far to see this. What’s wrong with these people!”
11. Tuesday Night Music Club, by Sheryl Crow
Somebody mentioned, “Sheryl Crow—Tuesday Night Music Club. I always wish it were something a little cooler, but that song ‘All I Wanna Do’ was my jam.”
12. The Score, by Fugees
“Fugees The Score. I was only 8. I didn’t know what the [heck] they were rapping about but I loved the song Killing Me Softly. Back then, you had to buy the entire album to hear the one song you love,” somebody stated.
13. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, by the Smashing Pumpkins
“Smashing Pumpkins—Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness. A birthday gift from my bff which was a huge deal because it was a double album,” said one.
14. Jesus Freak, by DC Talk
One person shared, “My first CD was not my choice. It and the CD player were a gift to me by my very religious biological father. DC Talk—Jesus Freak. To be fair, their music wasn’t half bad for a religious band.”
The second person replied, “Ha mine was DC Talks Free At Last. My parents bought me my first CD player for my birthday, and my aunt got me this to go along with it. At the time, I dug it.”
15. E. 1999 Eternal, by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
“E. 1999 Eternal the second studio album by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, released July 25, 1995, on Ruthless Records. The album was released four months after the death of rapper Eazy-E, the group’s mentor and the executive producer of the album,” somebody shared.
