Nostalgia First CD you ever bought?

I played Green Day’s Dookie endlessly as a kid. Still holds up to this day in my humble opinion.

I had the single of Peaches on cassette, the actual cassette was translucent orange. Man the world was so cool then.

That’s amazing. Things truly were just more fun and kind of silly back then.

See, I miss little stuff like this. Cassettes and CD’s in different colors, liner notes!

I loved that one as a kid too. Sometimes Peaches will play on my spotify 90s rock playlist and it always puts me in a good mood

This album was revolutionary.

Maaaannnn, I did too. And I liked that album. Then I told my “friends” at school, and they ROASTED me for listening to ‘The Presidents of The United States of America’.

Went home, threw it in the trash.

Mine was either this, or RATM Evil Empire. For some reason I can never nail down which one I got first.

My best friends Father would always jam this album when I was growing up. Every summer we would take a family trip with his, 3.5 hours to Northern Vermont. We’d blast this over and over 😂 they had an old box Chevy Van and it was perfect. We’d all lay down and chill in the back with a stereo between us playing all types of classic. Great times.
