Whenever I listen to Metallica's Black Album or S&M, I always remember being with both of my cousins in the bedroom upstairs at their house just listening to it when we were younger. Same thing with the first Godsmack CD.

Whenever I listen to Mudvayne L.D. 50, I think of junior high and how much it sucked, as well as one time my cousins and I were listening to music up in their bedroom again. We were obsessed with that CD. Bad memories of junior high goes with most of the CDs I own. :p All I did was listen to music whenever I wasn't at school. For example, the first Slipknot CD makes me remember the fall that I began 7th grade. Ugh...

Whenever I listen to the first Soil CD, I think of being in Upper Michigan, when I listened to it walking down the gravel road in the woods, to get to the general store. Same thing with Wisconsin Death Trip by Static X.

Whenever I listen to either Slipknot's Iowa or the Drowning Pool's Sinner, I think of the fall of 2001, September 11th, and the experience with the German exchange students in the aftermath of that event.

I could probably go on and on and this makes me feel old, so I'll stop. :D

Totally makes me want to relive those moments.

Anyone else love Poison's 'Every Rose?'

Here's the video: Clickie.

I play that every Wednesday night when I DJ. As well as Cherry Pie by Warrant. I've got a big soft spot for 80's Hair Metal.

No I didn't find it.:( Are there any slashes between the name of the singers? I had a hard time finding "Shake Your Thang":D by Salt N Peppa, and I figured out that the reason why it wasn't coming up is because the name should have dashes in between like...Salt-N-Peppa, as soon as I included the dashes it worked. You have to type it in exactly the way it's spelled and such.

In the hall of the mountain king - Edvard Grieg
Bolero - Ravel

My mom always played these two as well as The Nutcracker Suite. These definitely awakened my interest in music, the only problem was I didn't find "modern" music to be terribly interesting.

August 22, 1964 - The Beatles - Live in Vancouver - the song "Help".
I remember their sold out Vancouver concert was broadcast live on radio to offset the chances of a riot. I was running about the house when all of a sudden the concert started. Well, you couldn't hear much music, at all, but you could hear the screaming that simply did not stop. It was mass hysteria. I remember getting goose-bumps hearing them. It was somehow a magical moment and even at 8 years old I knew this was a moment that was never going to happen again.

1968 - Classical Gas - Mason Williams - I don't recall how this started, but as soon as the song came on the radio my mom and I would start dancing together. I was 12 by that time, but it was a real "bonding" thing with Mom.

After I really got into music at 13 I was at my dads beverage company (It is way cool having your dad owning a soda pop company when you are a kid!) and went outside only to hear music from a school next door to the plant. It was summer and school was out. I peeked into the open auditorium door and beheld "Vanilla Fudge" doing a sound test or rehersal for a concert. They had been playing, "You keep me hanging on" and I was blown away. I was too chicken to go up and say, "Hi" and bit a hastey retreat when I was discovered, lol. There was only about ten people in the auditorium. Still all I have to hear is the famous opening bars... and I am looking in that back door. I'd never heard anything so loud before! Awesome!

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown LP (You know, "I am the god of hellfire and I bring you...") This was a very "heavy" album back in 1969. My friends and I would sit around in the dark, smoke cigarettes, "being cool". There was a certain fond innocense then but they are fond memories of first kisses etc.

Jimi Hendrix Live at Montery - Can you see me/Wild Thing
I was at my sister's house when I first heard this and looking back it is a bit stunning because I became such a huge Hendrix fan. When I asked if I could listen to it she said sure, but put on the headphones, plus she only played the Otis Redding side of the album. Midway through Wild Thing, played quite loud, I was handed a drink of pop or something and accidently jerked the lead out of the stereo causing a thunderous roar. (In those days, inserting the headphones always cut out the speakers. Unplug headphones... and hang tight.) I think I was shaking after the album was over. I was definitely in shock.

Ah well, we'll come back another day. : hamster :

When I was 14 or so, I won an album by calling into a radio station. It was a compilation lp from Capital Records. I was happy just winning something even if it was a dud lp. However... when I got home, I was curious about what kind of music a "Pink Floyd" would play. Like were they jazz or what?

I don't know how else to express it. The sample was taken from "Ummagumma" and was "Astronomy Domine" but cut half way (down to 4+ minutes). The instant I heard the odd organ intro I was hooked. As the bass kicked in and then drums and finally guitar I was almost in a swoon. THIS was the band I was looking for. The sound itself was unlike anything else. Considering I would go on to become a veritable authority on Pink Floyd it strikes me now as no surprise. Ummagumma is still one of my favorties, especially side two (Set the controls for the heart of the sun & A saucerful of secrets).

BTW: The rest of the Capitol Records sampler LP was indeed major crapola. But... the connection was made.

The Queen of The Damned soundtrack. Takes back a few years before all my friends just suddenly left. And even though I had a torn ACL that summer, it was definitly a time when I was enjoying life. Telling my mom I was spending the night at one of my friends house, only to then live it up during the night, looking for parties, raising hell, and living like thier would be no tomorow. I'd trade a year of life just to have another week living like that again. The soundtrack brings takes me back because it's what we listened to all the time.

God's Nephew
"American Pie" by Don McLean- Brings me back to long car rides with a good friend during my teenage years. He and I used to both sing at the top of our lungs. I don't know how we ever managed to remember all the lyrics to the full 8 minutes but we did. I could probably do a line by line exegisis of them at this point, telling you what every word means.

"Song 2"- Blur

This hit when I was doing college radio and it was the first song that made me jump on the couch. That eventually became my sign of approval at the station. Whenever I heard something I liked I would jump up and down on the station's couch. Needless to say the dj's that might have been sleeping on it weren't too thankful.

"Wannabe" - The Spice Girls

Its an ear worm of the worst sort. My only professional radio gig was when this song was its most popular. We had a rule at the station that it had to get played at least once every hour (or every other hour at the least). Thankfully, my stay at the station was mercifully short (3 months). The whole staff was terminated when the station switched to oldies (only to come back to the original AC format 10 years later).

Oh well.

Annoyingly Progressive Since 2006
Wow. There are so many that get me reminiscing...

Some of my very favorites, though, include (but are not limited to):

Bridge Over Troubled Water (from 1969, the year we lived in Louisiana).

Band on the Run and Jet from Junior High

Songs like: Love Hurts, Fox on the Run, Dream Weaver, Play That Funky Music, remind me of early high school.

Barracuda, Give a Little Bit and Hanyman were popular the summer I backpacked in Colorado with some friends.

Later high school, stuff like: the first Boston album, Carry On, Wayward Son, Rubber Band Man, Walk This Way, Love the One You're With, Refugee, Cat Scratch Fever, Baker Street.

More later...
