I'm fairly embarassed to own "NOW 2" -- but since it was a friend's CD that I accidentally ended up keeping, I don't feel *quite* so bad. A lot of my 'early' music consists of Creed, Eminem, Korn, a smattering of Limp Bizkit, SoaD, Bush, Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, Offspring, Metallica, Tool, Megadeth and Nirvana. Sounds pretty standard for 8th-10th grade in my area.
That said, it doesn't completely horrify me too much (aside from the Korn/LB/Creed stuff). I mean, whenever I run across songs that I've burned onto mix CDs or hear them at random on the radio, it brings back nice memories. They belong in the past, but I spent a lot of time locked away in my room drawing to the radio in those days -- and admittedly, not everything was
terrible, awful music on the airwaves, either. And the Metallica/Aerosmith/Led Zepplin was normally stolen from my dad's CD collection.
I can forgive myself for most everything except for Limp Bizkit. Really, with the shittiness of both their lyrics and music, I can't bring myself to admit that I had one of their stickers on my viola case in 7th grade
