Yes! Back announcers were the bane of my life as a kid when a song a had a good intro/outro

I have a CD rack of CDs.

Together you's have the full package .
A rack and a box .

I've got a tape deck too play them in .

 

[Neese]

I have my 1980s blue Sony Walkman. Still works but nfi where it is

[Gough]

Those Live Bootleg albums that they sold legally for a while in the 90s are worth a bit these days.

I have NFI what happened to my small collection of cassettes. I do know that I haven't owned anything capable of playing one for probably 20 years though. I think my car can play CDs but I've never tried. Love me some nostalgia but cassettes and VHS can get in the bin as a technology.

Might take a Discman and a battery powered computer speaker to work and show the younglings. If I had one of these I would show them what 'connecting device' looked like not so long ago...

I had one of those big tower racks of CDs back in the 90s which was my pride and joy that now all sit collecting dust in storage.

I also had one of those travel packs of CDs that I took overseas in the late 90s with my trusty old Sony Discman to listen to them.

These days you can listen to any album you want to on youtube which is more convenient and cheaper but it's just not the same.

Back in the 90s you would rock up to someone's place for a party and the first thing you would do is check out their CD collection.

I don't know what the kids do at parties these days, show each other their spotify playlists that they have already seen on tiktok.

 

[VainGlorious]

I mean, I do love my old CD collection, but Spotify is ****ing awesome.

There's a TV series about how that be came a thing .

Classic rock CDs from the 90s turning 30 years old this year make me feel old like this one.




The classic rock stations used to play songs from the 60s and 70s back in the 90s, now they play songs from the 90s.

I've still got one of those in a box in the garage somewhere.

I use the modern equivalent. My car doesn't have Spotify but I bought a gadget that can Blu-tooth to my phone then transmit a signal that the radio can pick up.

Older music is time less .

Bands you might of liked as a younger person but you never got into their catalogue.
You can just open up music app or you tube and go back in time.

 

[rocker_oz33]

You can look at your old tapes and CDs to see who were fav bands were.

I only listen to my CDs and YouTube. I also have some vinyl and a turntable. Technology has left me behind

vinyl back in vouge .

Last time I was in JB they have vinyl and turn tables.

 

[Plugger35]

Some 90s grunge rock hasn't aged that well.

Roachford has aged well, they still sound as good now as they did back in 1994.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Add AudioSlave to that list.

Bought one a couple of years ago for 99 bucks - was amazed I was able to record to USB - love love the sound of the record turning on the computer

Audioslave were a great noughties band that were produced from two great 90s bands RATM and Soundgarden that aged well.

I can still remember back in 2002 going into a CD store with a mate of mine to listen on the headphones to their new album.

Does anyone else remember when CD stores had those listening stations with headphones so you could try before you buy?

There aren't even CD stores these days let alone listening stations, it seemed futuristic at the time, now it just feels ancient.

Bashes had that set up with the head phones.

Unit would of been one of the top albums.

 

[Neese]

Yeah I remember listening stations.

One of the libraries I work at started up a vinyl collection and we loan out record players too. It's been hugely popular.

Brashs and Sanity were the big 90s CD stores, Brashs bit the dust a long time ago and Sanity is now an online only music store.

I miss the old CD stores in shopping centres, that was one of the few stores I had any interest in, loved rifling in the bargain bin.
