Load - Metallica
Celebrity Skin - Hole
Mechanical Animals - Marilyn Manson
The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails
Aenima - Tool
OK Computer - Radiohead
The Bends - Radiohead

Despite those being new-ish CDs when I was in high school, I never really felt connected with the music scene that was going on in the late 90's. I was also playing the shit out of:

The Wall - Pink Floyd
Greatest - Duran Duran
Control - Janet Jackson
Dirt - Alice in Chains
So - Peter Gabriel
Sign 'o' the Times - Prince

Plus, senior year of high school, my friends and I all went through this big Bon Jovi phase that I'd sooner forget about. boxed

Same here! I actually didn't start buying any albums until 11th and 12th grade. Back when I was in junior high school, I recorded a lot from the radio. I remember making my own little extended editions of Smooth Criminal, Rockit and Sweet Dreams. giggle

I would hold my radio/cassette player up against the stereo speaker and get these crappy quality music compilations from the radio. lol

I would also tape over cassettes that I didn't want anymore (not the blank kind, but albums) by putting tape over the square holes on the top of them. lol I was too cheap to just go out and buy blank tapes. Then I'd take White Out and paint over the old titles, and write the new title on in black marker.

Scotch tape was not readily available in our home for some reason. But given that most members of my family are full of shit, well, tp was everywhere.
