It’s 2005 and you can only [skip] take 1 CD with you in your Discman—what is it?

I remember I was working this night shift janitor job at the time over the summer, and had this and a bunch of burnt Grateful Dead shows that got me through a lot of shifts that summer. Honestly, it was probably mostly burnt Grateful Dead shows, (just because they are like 3 hours long, so a couple of shows gets you most of the way through your shift), but I vividly remember this album coming out that summer and listening to it a LOT.
2005 me would say "The Greatest Story Ever Told" by The Lawrence Arms

I wasn't stuck to my discman. I had this:

This thing was so awesome for its time. But to answer the question, Nightwish Once.

The MP3 CD I made with hundreds of songs on it because I had a disc drive capable of making MP3 CDs and a Walkman capable of reading those discs.
I'm taking Hybrid Theory.
What are you taking? Mix CDs are cool too you just need to give us a track listing.
Close, but I'm probably bringing Live in Texas to get the mix of Hybrid Theory and Meteora in one go. No doubt in my mind that it's Linkin Park though; hell I listened to Hybrid Theory on my walk into work last week...
probably Speakerboxx/theLove Below by Outkast
or this
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor (Disc 2). Came out in 2005, Disc 2 was pretty much my album of the year.
If you haven't listen, please do so. It gives me the melancholy winter blues, but it's such a joy to listen to.
Clarity is great but if we're going back to 2005 Futures was the hot shit. And even now I think I prefer it
This is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
Also, I think the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack or Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Greatest Hits.
In 2005 I had abandoned CD players and was rocking an iPod.
To actually answer your question though, probably Tool - Lateralus.

I just go by albums released in 2005 and this one is the one I can't get enough of.
Otherwise I create a MP3 CD with albums released that year and add to that:
- Gorillaz - Demon Days
- Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
- Boards of Canada - Campfire Headphase
- Matt Elliott - Drinking Songs
- Broadcast - Tender Buttons
Neva Dinova - The Hate Yourself Change
One of the best albums ever, I reckon. Probably heard by fewer than 30,000 peopke, too...lol
If I had to guess, I've probably listened to it more than anyone in the world, given that it was the only disc in my CD player for about 4 years and I'd listen to it daily. Still listen to it cover to cover at least a couple times a month 16 years after I first got it (in 2005,coincidentally)

Ah shit, this is the play. I was thinking about saying Meteora but this is the superior take.
anyone who aint burning multiple tracks onto a single disc in fucking 2005 is doing it wrong (if they havent already moved to an mp3 player)
carrying around an album cd in a discman/cd walkman that aint a burnt disc is a fucking 1990's move, not a 2000's move

Dude these guys blew me away live I saw them open for MCR and they absolutely showed them up and made them seem low energy and weak tea. I had never heard of them until that show, but I went and bought this album immediately.
but here's my pick
I'm so old, I didn't realize this was correct.
So my answer is now every CD I owned, which included 5 Rocky Horror soundtracks.
My iPod in 2005 would've had like The Postal Service in top plays, and The Cure, and Alkaline Trio, and blink 182 Untitled.
By 2005 I was on my 3rd MP3 player. I still bought CDs for my car though (and still do.)
Oh, and Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb
Oh, and Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb
Especially if you burned a full 17 song copy from the dvd playlist, rather than the 12 track "album" version. There's even a couple Reanimation tracks mixed in!
I had an iPod in 2005 and prior to that I'd squeeze around 4 cds into a jewel case so I'd always have multiple albums/mix cds on me
Oooh, it would probably be an burnt CD with songs off of Demon Days, Get Behind Me Satan and American Idiot. I know American Idiot was the year prior but I really loved (still do) that album so it would have carried over some jams.
