Memories you associate with music.

[The Stormrider]

Is there a specific album, song, or band that you identify with a more specific memory or time period? What's the one that bring back the strongest memories, good or bad?

For me it's a tie between Gogol Bordello's Gypsy Punks album, and Curse of the Coffin by The Nekromatix. Gypsy Punks came out mid-August last year and for a few weeks straight it was all I listened to. I didn't go anywhere or do anything without that album playing, so whenever I listen to it now, I always start reminiscing about last year and eveything that happened around that time. Starting college, discovering O&A, etc.

Curse of the Coffin is an album I listened to at least once a day during the second half of my senior year of highschool, so listening to that album makes me think of driving around at all ungodly hours of the night with that album blasting and never getting home in time to get a decent amount of sleep. Whenever I hear a song from C.o.t.C, I start to remember not wanting to go to sleep until I listened to at least one track.

Different musical styles, but....

U2's "Bad" reminds me of a specific time in HS, a specific grrrrl, a specific desire to throw myself into a thresher... :)

REM's "Losing My Religion" always brings back specific memories of what was going on in my life in the spring of '91, for some reason.

Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Life" reminds me of riding with my buddy with him driving at a highly illegal speed on the So. State Pkway on Long Island, coming back from a club, singing along at the top of our lungs... No Homo. Actually this more or less goes for all of 3EB's debut album.

Just the ones that come immediately to mind.

oh yeah dude , there are so many bands and songs that remind me of times in life, definitly high school memories, ex g/fs, Sonata Arctica reminds me of my ex so much its depressing, there ballads are so god damn amazing and meaningful.

all my punk albums remind me of 9th grade

[Hudson]

Lady in Red by Chris Debarge....It played on the radio when I asked a girlfriend to marry me and she said no and that she was seeing another guy.....

[25133WhooOoAH]

oh oh how can i forget! Dance of Death Came out the same day i asked my ex out, so that album will forever be reminding me of her

[dodisman]

Anticipation by Carly Simon brings back bad memories of when i was a wee lad...very vivid images of being left at daycare while my mother bowled her ass off.....

[Exanimate]

Life of Agony - Ugly, and River Runs Red brings back some serious memories for me. Along with Crowbar - Time Heals Nothing. All of those albums were the soundtrack to my life for about 6 months. I know most people don't like the album Ugly, but it has serious sentimental value to me.

Metal Church - The Dark, and Blessing in Disguise, and Overkill - Under the Influence, and Exodus - Fabulous Disaster, always conjures memories of sitting in my friends basement and smoking lots of weed.

Then you have, Danzig II - Lucifuge, and Death Angel - Act III, and Suicidal Tendencies - Lights, Camera, Revolution, that brings back memories of the Summer that I spent in in Florida.

Listening to music is such a huge part of my life, that there are memories attached to most of it.

Act III brings me back to the first year after graduation. Great times.
"Suicidal - How will I laugh" will always remind me of Junior Prom
Alannis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill brings me to the summer before I got married and losing my uncle. Very mixed emotions with that album.
Pantera's "cemetary gates" reminds me of a friend that died in 1992. he had that tape in his car at the time. Always gives me a lump in my throat.

Winner of the thread. :action-sm


That dirty BITCH!

[LAX]

Well I guess a few members of this board decided Guns & Roses "used to love her" , was an appropriate song to my ex-girlfriend (eh hem sniper and friends)...so yeah...I like the killing her part I guess.:action-sm

[sinAtra]

Goddamnit music leaves a stamp on you.

Nine Inch Nails "Closer", the song playing when i fucked so hard and so long that my next-door neighbor applauded

Journey - "Who's Crying Now", the song on the radio when my mom told me that cancer had killed my grandpa

Depeche Mode - "Enjoy The Silence", the song my fuckbuddy played as she gave me VD

[Puddle O AIDs]

its so hard to choose just one moment, every song or memory i have i can ascociate with the other, every thing that happens i have a song playing or one that reminds me. Music=Life

It was in October 1992, I had just graduated from college in NYC that May. I was stationed in Florida and playing rugby on the weekends. After a game we were in Fort Walton Beach at a beach front bar. I was sitting on the railing that surrounded the deck, my back against a post. I was exhausted and had an ice cold beer in my hand. The sun was setting and the reflected light made the ocean look like molten, dark gold. It was one of those few and priceless moments in life where you think to yourself, "All is good." You are at complete peace and ease. The song playing on the juke box, Jimmy Buffet - "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes"

[THE FEZ MAN]

lots of music brings memorys to me.
almost anything off zeplin 2 remindes me of my dad. it was the only tape that he had for the tape player in his truck.

lots of other songs remind me of chicks that i banged.

[Begbie]

I had alot of memories through music during my high school years (1994-98), and it was an awful time for music. Having some of my ex's (and Mrs. Luvya) consistently play the dance tracks of the 90's over and over again...some examples:

Robyn...Show Me Love
The JellyHead song
Spice Girls
La Bouche
Planet Soul

It made me want to slit my wrists back then, but now I'll actually sit through that crap on The 90's channel and "reminisce". Ugh.

There were some more tolerable and enjoyable music that I can reminisce from high school though:

NIN - Closer and March of the Pigs
Toadies - Possum Kingdom
Beck - Odelay album
Verve Pipe - Villains album
Metallica - Reload
Soundgarden - Down on the upside

[Hudson]

If I Saw You in Heaven-Eric Clapton
Song that played at a kid I mentored's funeral....I talked him into going to college and he died while down there...

[Waka Jawaka]

R.E.M.'s song "Everybody Hurts" reminds me of early 1993, in which during those months was the grieving process for me and most of my family after my older brother committed suicide in December of 1992, whenever I hear that song I always go back to that time in my life with the faded memories in my mind.

Whenever I hear George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" i'm always reminded of the movie Terminator 2, even though the song itself had been around for practically 10 years before that film came out.

[honky]

i think all of my memories are associated with music. trips to new orleans, honeymoon in amsterdam, using ween's 'the mollusk' as our wedding song, john mclaughlin's "remember shakti" playing in the background as my daughter was born, not to mention countless hours in drug-induced comas.

[Flea_Man]

Whenever I think of "Every rose has it's thorns", I think of the time a friend and I were singing that out the car window at a Wendys drive thru into the speaker. As LOUD as possible to keep all the cars and the person working there annoyed. Fun stuff.

[tar_baby]

in my dorm room...playing toxicity over and over again just trashing the fuckin place....and of course i was shitfaced

another one is bone thugs n harmony....memories of me cheating on my girlfriend..for some reason she wanted bone on...good shit

[SNARLINZ]

First blowjob given to me was to Paraniod by Grand Funk Railroad(live version);blew my tapioca right at beginning of guitar solo:right out of a bad porn movie

[Slow Bollards]

Anything from Gary Glitter reminds me of my childhood.

[WonkaVision]

When I hear Dark Side of the Moon I'm reminded of my first blow job.....

I'll just go with my senior week memories. All these albums were staples of that week.

Stone Temple Pilots - "Purple"

Beastie Boys - "Ill Communication"

Jeru the Damaja - "The Sun Rises in the East"

Gang Starr - "Hard to Earn"

And who could forget the soundtrack of my heroin addiction:

Nine Inch Nails: "Broken", "The Downward Spiral" & "Further Down the Spiral"

Marilyn Manson: "Portrait of an American Family" "Antichrist Superstar" & "Smells Like Children"

John Frusciante: "Niandra Lades & Usually Just a T-Shirt"

By this point, I had sold 98% of my cd's.
