Memories to Music

[LoneStranger]

I've been listening to "Everything's alright forever", for the first time in a good while. I bought the album after reading a review in Select and listening to a free track on a cassette (remember those?) on the cover of the magazine - Lazy Days.

Soon after I took a trip with a friend across America from coast to coast, on a greyhound bus. We were 18 at the time, and it was one hell of an adventure. The cassette in my walkman for 90% of the time on that bus was Everything's alright forever. I'd never heard anything quite like it at the time.

As soon as I hear the CD now, it all comes flooding back. I think music has the ability to almost make you re-live parts of your life.

Anyway, what's my point? I suppose my question is - What music/tracks bring back strong memories for everyone here?

Nice story LoneStranger, I'm heading out to the US soon for a year and will deffinetaly be taking EAFE with me... Hope to go from coast to coast too!

A couple of Boo Radleys bring back memories for me... C'mon Kids was the first Boo record I bought and didn't really listen to it much but started playing it around the summer of '99 when I was working nightshift in a factory before I went off to uni... for some reason I felt really depresed and it seem to help listening to it.

Kingsize remins me of my first year in London. It was the last Boos CD I bought and I scoured the record shops looking for it at a decent price. Anyway bought it and fell in love with it straight away. Its the only album I've bought that after the first listening I immediately pressed play again. Anyway I stayed up that night listening to it pretty much continuously.

Ah, a good thread here, but I don't know if I have any special memories... Well, listening to Wake Up and C'mon Kids and Kingsize helped me through many bad times as well...
And then me and a good friend of mine used to call each other every morning at 8am and we just played Wake Up Boo! on the phone and never said anything. A nice start for the day that was!

specifically? whenever i hear Iron Maiden's fear of the dark album i am transported back to the seventh grade. my mum driving me to my cello lessons, me sitting in the back seat rocking out with my tape player. i can even smell the damn car. that was one of the happiest times of my life, to be 13 years old and discovering loud music. things were so simple then.
