Got into PJ in late 95/early 96 so NO CODE will always have special significance to me. I remember hearing "Who You Are" on the radio for the first time and being slightly perplexed. Then I heard "Hail Hail" and it was all good. Can't say I was disappointed by it but looking back on that era I appreciate it a lot more now than I did then. It was really a genius move on the part of the band at that time.

I got into the band around 2000.

I went on a road trip fall of 96. I forgot all of my CDs except for the one that was in my disc man (I'm old) which happened to be No Code. Such a great album.

God I love No Code.

I'm pretty sure everyone on this board owned a discman.

I think I'm one of the youngest RMers, and even I had one. So yeah.

I guess I realized when those stopped being a thing.

There was a lot more to that post. :?

I still do most of my listening on a portable CD player (not a Discman specifically, but still).

Not sure to the first point, but highly recommend the second.

Why's that?
No real reason in particular -- I usually keep a fair amount of music on my iPhone, but I like the freedom of being able to just grab a CD off the shelf and listen without having to rip the CD to the computer, sync my iTunes, etc. It's just the listening method I've always liked best.

That's not true. And I mean that with all due respect.
