The Nostalgic Music Thread

I came up with this idea just now when i listened to soem music from my childhood. We all have certain songs or bands that you have special memories with. So what songs do you have special fond memories to?

So here's my list of memorable songs.

First up is the entire first Aqua album. I don't know if any of you remember it but it was incredibly popular around 97 or so, at least here in Scandinavia. Everybody owned this record.

Next up is the first metal song ever to interest. Iron Maiden - The Wickerman, i was 12 at this point. The single off of Brave New World, my metal loving cousin played it for me and i never looked back.

Dream Evil - Dragonslayer. The first recommendation i got from the metal guru himself, Terracosmo. I have gotten countless recommendations by him until this day and nothing has been bad.

Now start posting your own memorable songs.

Queen- The Show Must Go On
Beatles- Hey Jude (Childhood)
Areosmith- I Won't Want to Miss a Thing (I remember this song was from the movie Armageddon playing).

Uh... any Spice Girls' songs. They were really big back then. >__>

I will have to say that the single most nostalgic song for me is Tears by X-Japan. I have so many memories with that song. Really, it feels like several years of my life pass by every time I hear it. Among other things I had my first kiss with that song playing. Now that's nice. Other than that, my nostalgic songs are mostly video game soundtracks for Final Fantasy 6 & Chrono Trigger, because I have more precious memories with those games than I have with most other things in life actually. Tunes that will stick in my head until the day I die, for sure.

Here's my list of nostalgia in no particular order:

Rusted Root - Send Me On My Way
Kansas - Dust in the Wind
Love Spit Love - Am I Wrong
Oasis - Wonderwall
Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
Enigma - Return to Innocence
Madonna - La Isla Bonita
Natalie Imbruglia - Smoke
Tupac - Changes
Relient K - Softer To Me
Crazy Town - Butterfly
The Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch
KMFDM - Mortal Kombat Theme Song
Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee)
Joan Osborne - One Of Us
Fuel - Shimmer
Journey - Don't Stop Believing
Kottonmouth Kings - Peace Not Greed
Mr President - Coco Jumbo
Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag
La Bouche - Sweet Dreams

Edit: And all past, present, and future Linkin Park albums.

Okay i need to clarify something. If your memories aren't to personal then share them. Just listing songs does nothing, at least give a brief description.

Staind - It's been a while
Incubus - Drive (of course)
Incubus - A Certain Shade of Green
Savage Garden - To the Moon and Back

Korn - Freak on a Leash

These remind me of Freshman year of college
Incubus - Stellar
Incubus - Aquaeous Transmission
Massive Attack - Dissolve Girl
System of a Down - Chop Suey!

These remind me of Sophomore year of college
Prodigy - Climbatize
Prodigy - Smack my bitch up

These remind me of Junior year of college
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop
Moby - In this World
Hooverphonic - Eden
The Ataris - Boys of Summer

These remind me of Senior year of college
The naruto intro (the sasuke chase one)
Black Eyed Peas - Shut Up

Among many other songs....
Hmm....I'll have to try to come up with some more

These tracks just bring back random memories:

Robert Miles - Children
Olive - Your not Alone
Madonna - Frozen
Celine Dion - My Heart Will go on
Aqua - Dr Jones
Aqua - Barbie Girl
Sash - Dream
BeeGee's - Stayin Alive
Bonnie Tyler - Holding out for a Hero
Cher - Believe
Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise
Britney Spears - Hit Me Baby one more Time
Britney Spears - Born to Make you Happy
Britney Spears - Oops, I did it again
Eiffel 65 - Blue
Everything But the Girl - Like the Deserts Miss the Rain
Kylie Minogue - On a Night Like this
Mojo - Lady
Planet Perfecto - Bullet in the Gun
All the Rocky Movie Tracks
Shakira - Whenever, Wherever
Shania Twain - That don't impress me Much
Sting - Desert Rose
Sting - I'll be Watching you
Puff Daddy (Sean Combs) - I'll be missing you
R. Kelly - I Believe I can Fly

There are many more, I think the list is long enough already... there are some which are more recent and there are some to which I can remember the tune but not the artist.

Edit: Might I add several DBZ soundtrack tunes... such as the SSJ, SSJ2 and SSJ3 transformations being amongst the ones that bring back memories.

Yes, I would like to know what earth-shattering experience Linkin Park caused in milfhunter's life.

Almost older by Oasis really brings me back to early high school and summer camp.

I always remember my first Mushroom when "Champagne Supernova" comes on and the old Sprain Ridge park they tore down to make a Walmart....
When "Wonderwall" comes on I remember that I had a crush on this one girl who is really just a bitch (and a lesbian. No wonder she never wanted anything to do with me...)

And older Metallica always reminds me of days on the HS football team. We'd always ride on the bus and warm up while listening to "Master of Puppets" "Thing with no Name -maybe wront title-, "Thing that should not be", "The Unforgiven", "Enter Sandman" and "Wherever I Roam"

Pretty much every Final Fantasy 7 song.

whitney houston :: I Will Always Love You (dunno why )
notorious big: hypnotize (one of the first songs that introduced me to HH)
Mortal kombat theme (seen the movie a bit too many time's when i was little)

November Rain by Guns N' Roses: My introduction to the world of rock n roll at the age of 10. That song still makes me shiver.

Today by the Smashing Pumpkins: This ones kinda funny. At the time, I was a huge GNR and Metallica fan like most budding teenie boppers in suburban Quebec. I was waaaaaaaaay too "tough", way too "metal" for a song by a band called the smashing pumpkins. WTF is a smashing pumpkin anyway? But, I found myself bobbing my head to the catchy tune every time it came on, and everytime I anticipated a REALLY good day on my way to visit friends, on a beautiful and sunny summer afternoon, this is the song that played in my head.

Sober by Tool: This song traumatized my late childhood. I changed the channel everytime it came on. I had nightmares on account of the video for it. I love Tool.

Live to Tell by Madonna: Ok, many of Madonnas songs bring back warm feelings, but I remember this one well. Can't remember just how old I was, but I remember the Karate Kid and The Golden Child were out in theaters. I was walking with my mom, and she decided that we should go to the movies. I soooo wanted to see the Karate Kid, but my mom wanted to see the Golden Child. So I cried like the spoiled brat I was. A car drove by and stopped at a red light near us, and that song was Live to Tell was coming out of the speakers. It made me feel better.

Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper: Somehow, everytime we would go to visit one of my aunts, who at the time was a least favorite, that song would always be playing in the car. It wasn't a CD either, just the radio. Had the soothing effect of Live to Tell.

Nothin' But A 'G' Thang by Dr. Dre: I remember this song playing, quite often, as I walked back from jhs in utter terror. Bullies and whatnot. Stabbings were rather common. Shootings, well, occasional.

Big Poppa by Biggie Smalls: Yeah, got my ass kicked pretty badly while this song was pumping from a radio. Marked the end of my victim days. I love this song.

Would you? No problem. Hopefully, we can all have a group hug after this. Here you go:

Rusted Root - Send Me On My Way
This song is in the movie Matilda, which I watched a couple million times because it is so awesome. This song also made a cameo in Ice Age, which I also watched a couple million times because it is also so awesome.

Kansas - Dust in the Wind
Anyone seen the movie Old School? Remember Old Blue's funeral? Will Ferrell's character singing Dust in the Wind at his funeral? Hilarious. I watched this movie a couple million times, too.

Love Spit Love - Am I Wrong
This song is from the little known movie Angus, which I watched a couple million times, again.

Oasis - Wonderwall
This song carried the feelings I had for a crush in high school. She was taller and bulkier than I. But she had the cutest, prettiest face. I couldn't even masturbate to her because I went limp every time I thought about her.

Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
I don't really know. All I know is that I can still listen to this song every day and mellow out to it as much as the first time I heard it, which was during a hectic period of separation between the parents and moving around.

Enigma - Return to Innocence
The tribal chants in this song are representative of how I moan during sex. Tribes have weird dance rituals; I have sex.

Madonna - La Isla Bonita
Madonna's only good song.

Natalie Imbruglia - Smoke
Another good song to mellow out to.

Tupac - Changes
Made me think I was black for a year. I even believed that anything bad that happened to me was all because I'm black. And then I remembered I'm not black. But this is still a bad ass song, especially for a rap song.

Relient K - Softer To Me
There have been countless days where I had this song on repeat and I just listened to the loop over, and over, and over, and over again. Also, Relient K's only good song.

Crazy Town - Butterfly
The music video to this song just made me want to get high and have orgies with nymphs. The song itself is one of the few rap songs I actually made an effort to remember the lyrics of. I even considered getting a girlfriend.

The Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch
This song is just awesome. I memorized and recited the lyrics to this song in everything I did. The music video, however, is retarded.

KMFDM - Mortal Kombat Theme Song
The theme song of the Mortal Kombat movie (duh). Great stuff.

Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee)
I used to watch the Disney Channel and wait for this song's music video to come on. I was in middle school (or junior high, whatever) so I had nothing better to do. I wonder if the Disney Channel still shows old episodes of Zorro.

Joan Osborne - One Of Us
N/A

Fuel - Shimmer
N/A

Journey - Don't Stop Believing
Great vocals. Great music.

Kottonmouth Kings - Peace Not Greed
N/A

Mr President - Coco Jumbo
N/A

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag
N/A

La Bouche - Sweet Dreams
Tiffani Thiessen (or Tiffani Amber-Thiessen) was in a made for TV movie called Sweet Dreams, to which this was the theme song. Oh God, I was hooked. On Tiffani Thiessen, I mean.

And all past, present, and future Linkin Park albums.
Linkin Park has had a huge impact on my life. Their music literally got me through high school. And for that, I will always be a fan. No matter how badly Meteora sucked ass in comparison to Hybrid Theory, I will still always be a fan. The "earth-shattering experience" that Linkin Park caused in my life is that they inspired me to get up every morning and grab the bull by the horns; simple as that. My interest in art, music, and social culture shot up from zero kelvin degrees to the temperature of hot, sweaty sex. My grades improved. My apathy for everything diminished. I used to have no friends, no personality, and no energy. But Linkin Park's music gave me energy and a renewed lust for life. Their music is the reason I don't consider my childhood abysmal.

Edit: And if you want to knock on Linkin Park or my "earth-shattering experience", feel free. Don't expect me to sit back and take it, because as I said, I'm not apathetic anymore.

Props to DB_Hunter for listing this song. It's great.

The only thing LP gave me was a headache, but I'm happy for you nontheless since I know better than anyone what wonders music can do for a person. BTW, KMFDM didn't make the Mortal Kombat theme song, they did however perform Juke Joint Jezebel from it's soundtrack.

I wasn't knocking Linkin Park, I like to listen to their songs and cut myself.

I had a big phase of linkin park in college.....but I think I listened to it to the point of getting sick of the tones of the singers' voices. I still don't mind listening to the reanimation album once in a while though, and the Jay-Z/Linkin Park Numb/Encore song is great

Correct you are. It was Utah Saints who made the Mortal Kombat theme song. And thanks.

Sweet. Glad to hear it. I always get defensive because hating on LP seems like the popular thing these days.

I second that. I just hope that the next great mash-up Linkin Park does, if they do another, is with Eminem. I've always wanted Linkin Park and Eminem to work on something together, maybe even go on some kind of tour together. Imagine.

I've been on the linkin park hating bandwagon ever since there was no one on it.

You have to put a razorblade to your wrist to understand their pain mannnnnn.
