Never owned a CD: I'm a spoiled millenial who deserves AIDSEvery CD I listened to as a kid was something my parents bought... didn't buy my own music until middle school and by then iPod's and iTunes had become a thing. So yes, I'm a faggy millennial who deserves AIDS.

95 or beyond: FML I suck
Really? I like to talk as much chit about PJ as anyone but Jeremy, Alive, and Even Flow are great songs and Black is still one of the best songs ever. I can't think of a song on the album that doesn't hold up.DerekJohnson said:
That album felt epic at the time but looking back it's really good but not great.Mosster47 said:I got Pearl Jam Ten with a Sony Discman for Christmas in 1991.

I had half the "albums" in the cowbell poll, as well as a number of the write ins, on 8 track, and vinyl. Bought my first CD player (Denon) in 1988 and a CD copy of Dark Side of the Moon to compare to a master recording on heavy vinyl. Close enough call to switch to CD's.RaceBannon said:

Fall of 1987, Def Lep's Hysteria, followed in close order by Heart's Greatest Hits and Led Zep II. My roommate at Cal had a CD player, and even though it was a Technics POS it sounded more clearer than the cassettes I was using. Soon after I bought an NAD 7240 receiver and Klipsch KG4s and we had the loudest system in the dorms.

93-94: I am usually late, and I don't mean fashionably late
Led Zeppelin II was the first LP I ever remember hearing on my Dad's turntable in the mid 80's. Interestingly enough, almost all the late 60's and early 70's pressing of Zeppelin II sounded like shit- i.e., muddy and the frequencies on the bass and guitar distortion are very compressed. A guy named Robert Ludwig mastered the album originally and he cut it really "hot" meaning the bass, drums, and guitar frequencies weren't dialed back at all. Problem was most turntables of the day were shit and couldn't track those frequencies- i.e., the stylus would literally jump out of the groove. So after the first 100,000 copies or so were pressed, Atlantic got wind of the issue, and had the album re-mastered but they overcompensated and made it sound like crap. I have a pretty high end turntable - which is a very relative term in hi-fi circles - than can handle a record that's mastered "hot" and have listened to one of these early pressings, and it's night and day between the later ones. Seriously the best sounding Zeppelin that you'll ever hear!!RaceBannon said:I grew up listening to my sister's Beatles albums and my brother's superior collection of bands like Cream
The first album I bought was Led Zeppelin 2 because I had saved enough money to buy a stereo and we'd get high and listen to Whole Lotta Love where the bridge would go between the speakers.
I thought that was the height of technology and we'd never see better
