Music that you listened to at significant points in your life
 

You know those songs that remind you of how it was back then? Post 'em here.

What significant point in your life does this remind you of?

The initial shock of coming to terms with a lot things about myself. My gender identity for one. It's a personal thing, so I hope you forgive me making this thread all emotional, haha.

Don't be afraid to open up around here. We don't bite.

That's pretty much it, really. I have a journal about it, if you want to know more.

What ever your comfortable doing. I just wanted to let you know that things do get quite personal around here so don't feel like writing about that business is going to be out of place or thought of as weird.

haha I don't think bored constitutes a significant point in your life, although it could

LOL. This reminds me of my late teens.



Not that I was ever institutionalised. It just expressed my general frustration with life during that period.


This expresses pretty well those darker times.




This reminds me of the night my wife and I got together.

Taj Mahal - Happy to Be Just Like I Am

This album help me find myself in some pretty dark times. Unlike many of the albums during this period for me, this one doesn't provoke many negative emotions.

Also, Beethoven's Piano Sonata #8 will always be special to me. Not because of nostalgia, good times, or bad times. Just because it is ****ing brilliant.

there is no actual Dylan track on youtube and i loathe to post a cover version

but it's probably Dylan's You're a Big Girl Now, which i listened to a lot when i broke up with my most recent ex about 2 years ago

I found Dylan when I was going through a very hard time in my life. I was very depressed, I was abusing drugs. My whole world was just spinning out of control, I felt like I was losing my mind. I had heard some Dylan before, but I had never really listened to him. His music was just so powerful, I had never been moved by music in such a way.

Keep bringing them up, but The Stone Roses saved me from Ja Rule, Sean Paul and 5ive.

This is the song that saved me from grunge.

I dread to think what would have happened had I not heard this. I mean imagine the indignity of being a Pearl Jam fan and it not being the 1990s :laughing:
Not that I ever liked them anyway, even when I did listen to shitty grunge albums.

Thank you Suede for saving me from all this ridicule & living hell.

Yikes. Hopefully it saved you from britpop too. :laughing:

Saved me from listening to shitty Britpop after it disappeared up it's own arse in 1997.


HAPPY NOW !!!!!

:mad:

And these songs saved me from nu metal when I was 12/13/whateverteen years old...


David Bowie Sound and Vision - YouTube

Blue Monday by New Order - YouTube

...for which, needless to say, I'm eternally grateful.

The last part nailed it for me in some pretty dark days.

Hell ya. AIC certainly isn't a "****ty grunge" band.

Just when I was ready to take revenge on you for your barren death threats, you go and do something like this and convince me to like you again.

Fleetwood Mac's Rumors got me through some rather bad times

Rumours got me through some rather good times! ;)

When I was infatuated with my best friend and working up the courage to tell her this I must have listened to this song about a hundred times....

Brand New's Deja Entendu and The Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me both helped me through some crappy time.

Jandek is ALWAYS there when I need to get through something. Seems like he has at least two or three albums for every mood and/or situation.

Recently, Jack's Mannequin's Everything in Transit and The Glass Passenger helped me get over some crap, as well.

I listened to Captain Beefheart's Safe as Milk when I was sixteen and overdosed. Now when I listen to it, especially Call on Me, I feel a little high for a few moments.
