nostalgia

[Babs]

I used to really, really love No Doubt when I was like, 13. I recently listened to their song Bathwater after probably 2 years without listening to it and it made me feel really happy and really sad and nostalgic. it really took me back. I know this sounds incredibly dumb, but it made me realize how much of a connection music can have to your life, how it's forever tied to so many memories.
what songs or artists did you listen to as a youngen, what makes you feel nostalgic?

[Stronger]

Funny I'm listening to No Doubt right now.

Aqua, Britney Spears, usually those from the 90s to early 00s make me feel like a youngin' again.

Yep, nineties pop would hold that title for me. Specifically, as a child I was obsessed with Nsync, but I had Britney Spears' first two albums, Spice Girls, etc. Evanescence is also a sort of nostalgia even though I tend to hate them more, I guess because they're not as far away from the genres I developed taste for as I got older. And Foo Fighters to the max, although I didn't get into them until I was a teenager.

Also some of that 00s pop rock also reminds me a lot of my adolescence, right before my taste in music started blossoming lol. Like Green Day, The Killers, Muse, blah blah blah.

I don't remember specifically which songs, but the other day, I came across a youtube playlist, which I must have made 5 or 6 years ago.. I listened to it for shits and giggles, but I won't really be consistently listening to any of it - my music tastes have taken a drastic 360 haha. If I remember, that was my Avril Lavigne-Fergie-FOB-Paramore obession

Mid-to-late nineties rock and pop is almost always nostalgic for me. I hear a song from that time period and in instantly brings be back to being a kid again.

[Lost in the Echo]

A lot of rock from the 80's and 90's.

[Typhlosion]

I didn't listen to music before 12.
Unlesd ,of course, it was from a Kidz Bop commercial :P

[Bigdon]

For me it would be a lot of rock from the 70's and 80's. Especially Alice Cooper, AC/DC, The Cars, and Guns N Roses. My dad would always crank those bands in the car when I was young.

No Doubt's Greatest Hits album, actually :P Brings me back to when I was about the same age. (I think I was 11/12 actually, but meh, same difference)

Also, I have a small set of memories for every Beatles album. When I was in 7th grade, I got really obsessed. On the way home from a trip I took with a friend's family, I bought Help! (the same friend watched the movie with me, and I went nuts. I wanted the movie, I wanted the album. I came home and asked my mom where The Beatles cds were, and WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY. I was practically devastated. Coincidentally, just days before this, they released the remastered Cds. What a fucking coinkidink, no? When I walked into Wallmart and saw AN ENTIRE DISPLAY OF BEATLES ALBUMS, I practically fainted!) and it was a downward spiral from there. ;) I consistently got one album every month (with like one exception, when I got two), and by the beginning of 8th grade, I had the boxed set, just without the box. So every CD brings back a different month for me.

Torches (Foster the People) was the beginning of freshman year. (Makes sense, seeing as that's when it was released. :P) I listened to it nonstop. Depeche Mode's Greatest Hits was the end of freshman year.

I've got a LOT more, ranging from my ska phase, to my new wave phase, to that time I listened to Fall Out Boy's Infinity On High about 10 times on the way back from a trip to Vegas when I was 10 :P In fact, if you give me a song, and it's one I've listened to in a particular concentration/etc., I can probably tell you the part of my life it lines up with :P

I can literally give you a timeline of my life in songs.

same here. my dad has always been a fan of classic rock so that's what I grew up with.
