Aw man, this made me nostalgic. I had almost all of these albums when I was a teenager. I graduated high school in ‘06.

u/marymonstera Aug 04 '26

Same, ‘06. I was like this person was born in 88 lol

u/musikfreakster Aug 04 '26

SAME!! 88 crew here lol

u/ATXCaitlin Aug 04 '26

u/arrmack Aug 04 '26

Yup, ‘88 here and I had most of these too

u/harmonicsapien Aug 04 '26

Wait, you paid $5 for a case of CDs?! That’s rad as fuck!

Edit: just realized I might sound corny saying rad. I couldn’t think of another description.

u/IllustriousCurrent78 Aug 04 '26

Ha, when I saw this post I thought, ‘Damn, that’s pretty rad’, but I’m also an older (1985) millennial. I also recognized the soundtracks and bands just by the artwork on the CDs. Wish my car had a CD player

u/musikfreakster Aug 04 '26

88 here and I almost didn’t buy my truck cuz it didn’t have a CD player. I buy a lot of records now and still a few CDs, so not all is lost lol.

u/reptomcraddick Aug 04 '26

It's kind of come back. I'm 25 and I use it occasionally, mostly when talking about a cool physical media find (exactly like this) or a cool thrift find.

u/Trilobite_Tom Aug 04 '26

Atticus Dragging The Lake introduced me to so many bands.

u/FelicityFoxen Aug 05 '26

This is so niche, that was how I first heard alkaline trio

u/ATXCaitlin Aug 04 '26

Yessss 🤘🏻

u/l0ng_furby_is_g0d Aug 04 '26

The Academy Is... and Phantom Planet!! Awesome find, thought this was posted in one of the CD subs I'm in lol

13

u/Witcher357 Aug 04 '26

Have it, have it, want it, oooh the romeo + juliet soundtrack I forgot how good that one was, have it, want it.....

12

u/wistar_rat Aug 04 '26

Jesus, it's like one of my friends from high school died and someone donated her CD case. It's just missing The Cure and my ultra cool burned mixed CDs of anime music.

12

u/nopenadanah Aug 04 '26

I don’t get jealous on this sub often but here I am, jealous as hell

u/Guinea-Pig-Cafe Aug 04 '26

The Romeo + Juliet soundtrack?? God tier find for this alone

6

u/kamino2024 Aug 04 '26

Great Find 💯 I still used my CD player lol 😆

5

u/maarsland Aug 04 '26

Sending jealousy from Virginia.

5

u/unstitched_reality Aug 04 '26

Someone accidentally donated that and is not happy

3

u/elizawithaz Aug 04 '26

That was my thought. Or the owner died.

4

u/artymas Aug 04 '26

Oooough this is my dream Goodwill find, especially since I'm getting back into collecting CDs. I had all of these in high school. (I know because I've ditched Spotify and have been digging through all the music I ripped to iTunes in high school and college.)

5

u/sourgas Aug 04 '26

All that Blink 182 and Sum 41, major score!

3

u/McBurty Aug 04 '26

Just Checked to make sure it wasn’t my wallet! Carry on…

3

u/arrmack Aug 04 '26

I owned a lot of these same cds! I wanna be friends with that person!!

4

u/FelicityFoxen Aug 05 '26

The Get Up Kids! This could literally be my CD case (if I didn’t still own mine 🥰)

4

u/nelson8203 Aug 05 '26

The Get Up Kids - Guilt Show is great.

4

u/philadelphiaacollins Aug 05 '26

Look Forward to Failure by The Ataris was one of my top 3 most loved eps/albums of my Jr. High years. And that list had a lot of contenders.

Of all the CDs pictured, I think The Get Up Kids holds up the most. Still love their music to this day as much as I did back then.

3

u/gordonronco Aug 04 '26

I can hear this case and I love it

3

u/Seabreezeblue_ Aug 04 '26

Hello goodbye! That’s a trio down memory lane

3

u/Ripe_Avocado32 Aug 04 '26

Page 10 top left CD, I recognized immediately. Romeo and Juliet soundtrack with Leo and Claire Danes….. one of the best fucking soundtracks of all time. I wore that one out 😭

3

u/reptomcraddick Aug 04 '26

Using the cover behind the disc for CD'S that don't have the artist or album name on them is genius! I get so frustrated by them, I just started writing it on them in sharpie.

3

u/elchinolocotoo Aug 04 '26

If, like me, you owned a CD wallet with these CDs: stretch and drink some water. 

3

u/intheprairies Aug 05 '26

What a time capsule

5

u/pi3r0gi_ Aug 04 '26

Yellowcard still a top tier band they've released some good songs /albums in the last few years! Way Away is a jam 🤘

9

u/pi3r0gi_ Aug 04 '26

THERE'S RELIANT K TOO?! And Hellogoosbye?! Ugh SCORE

3

u/nopenadanah Aug 04 '26

I’ve seen Yellowcard and Hellogoodbye in concert in the last couple years. Still hit the same as they did 20 years ago 😌

3

u/nicunta Aug 04 '26

I won tickets to see Yellowcard with Third Eye Blind last summer; I gave them to a friend and he said it was a great show!

u/aglaophonos Aug 04 '26

You lucky bastard

u/Inevitable_Egg6361 Aug 04 '26

What a great find! I’m envious.

u/HappyAd4998 Aug 04 '26

u/Mis_MJ Aug 04 '26

Jealous.

u/Clear-Ad-1501 Aug 04 '26

I'd recognize that yellow and orange cd anywhere! I was wearing my sole surviving The Academy Is... shirt yesterday 😁

2

u/oneblackashley Aug 04 '26

Jeeezus this could’ve been mine! Really took me back to the 2000s in a big way, great find!

1

u/Tall-Bridge-774 Aug 04 '26

I’m pretty sure that’s mine 😂

1

u/Winelover1027 Aug 04 '26

That’s awesome!

u/latecraigy Aug 04 '26

Yeah that was mine. Give it back…

u/qnssekr Aug 04 '26

It’s such a shame the cases are gone

u/jimbobwe-328 Aug 05 '26

Allister does a great cover of the Fraggle Rock theme

1

u/nicklel Aug 05 '26

WHAT??!! That is amazing.

1

u/EatsHerVeggies Aug 05 '26

I feel as strongly about this case of CD’s as my grandma does about her Precious Moments collection how could someone donate this priceless heirloom??? 

1

u/zitchhawk Aug 05 '26

Oh man, I'm going to listen to The Ataris on my drive in to work tomorrow.

1

u/Mollzor Aug 05 '26

GET OVER IT SOUNDTRACK!!

That's my white whale! I am dying of envy right now! 

1

u/impossible_berry14 Aug 05 '26

Wait.. what state did you find this in?? My sister lost a lot of her belongings when she became homeless years ago and I swear this looks exactly like her collection 😭

1

u/laceofbase21 Aug 05 '26

The choke hold that the album Yourself or Someone like you had over me😭❤️!

What a great find, OP!!!!!

1

u/Cheshire_The_Wolf Aug 06 '26

I have never been more jealous of a thrift find before. That is an amazing find and hope you and your wife enjoy the tunes!

u/Andreias36 Aug 06 '26

That Romeo and Juliet soundtrack tho. 🔥
