I was like 6. I wanted it desperately. Listening back to it now, as a 36 year old man I can admit that it's an absolutely horrible bit of music....but it still takes me back to being a young kid.
When I was a kid, I would get in trouble getting those Columbia House offers where they advertise like 12 CDs for one cent; but then charge a subscription fee every month. So I'm not 100% sure what my first one was, because I got 12 of 'em at once.
I know that's how I discovered Silverchair though. I just picked out their album Frogstomp because I liked the picture of the frog. 🤣
I still like every track on that album. Especially given the shit today where Suicidal Dream is basically my anthem...
Columbia House and BMG music club were the shit I never got in any trouble and I had them send stuff to our dog as well as me lol! Those cd caddies they came in were made out of spun sugar they would crack if you breathed on them funny.
I never did the videos but impish 12 year old me took those cd clubs for at least 30 albums
