corny but yeah

if I had to get super-specific though, I'd could think of super-super old stuff from 3rd grade like nirvana-nevermind, offspring-smash, and arrowsmith-get a grip!!!

yeah. I can listen to any album I was into at any given time and have flashbacks of that particular era:

1991: Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, RHCP(bssm), Nevermind
1992: The Predator, the Chronic, Low End Theory
1993--1996- blur of gangsta/bohemian rap/Wu Tang whatever
1997: floodgates of SP opened, Dandy Warhols, Rancid, Busta Rhymes
1999: Adore/the cure miscellaneous.
2000: Machina, Machina2, Weezer Green album
2001: zwan bootlegs, djali zwan boots, the strokes,
2002: zwan boots, sp boots, white stripes
2003: MSOTS, Papa M, my own recordings, etc.
2004: Her Space Holiday, Rogue Wave, miscellaneous smaller bands.
2005: Billy Corgan, Tegan & Sara
2006-present... too early to reminisce.

I see. Yeah I have a VERY intense association with Siamese Dream moreso than the others I would say.... a sadness and hope that comes with leaving adolescence and forging into adulthood I guess.

Toad The Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea (reminds me of the mid-90s, road trips with my family, and playing SNES)

SP - Pisces Iscariot (hanging out with my friend Kel before she went bat-shit crazy back in '99-00. This was her favorite SP record)

U2 - Achtung Baby, Weezer - The Blue Album and Tom Petty - Wildflowers (Ah, the soundtrack to my 8th grade field trip to Toronto)

Chumbawama - Tubthumping :hurl: (reminds me of my shitty pop-music phase back in the late '90s, as well as my crazy junior year in high school. Listened to Drip, Drip, Drip for the first time in years recently...and memories of 97-98 came back to me. Oh to be musically naive again. I will say, however, that some of the not-as-well-known tracks from that album aren't half-bad.)

06-06-2008, 01:13 AM
Oh yeah...late 80's / early 90's gangsta rap (Snoop, Dre, the late great Eazy-E and 2Pac, NWA) reminds me of my tumultuous middle school days. Hip-hop these days can't hold a candle to the golden age of gangsta...well, maybe Jay-Z can.

i cant get too nostalgic about a band that is still around and making good music

its when they hit a notable decline do albums like the lonesome crowded west, pinkerton, or mellon collie get me nostalgic. i have specific memories associated to a lot of awesome albums but when i think of older records by bands still making quality music i just get excited for their next release rather than think of certain situational feelings that i had when listening to those albums. nirvana reminds me a lot of middle school but if they were still around and making good music it would be so many memories compounded on each other that a specific nostalgia to it would have vanished.

i dunno, REM are still going and i really get that feeling with automatic

of being in early high school and playing zelda

Shapan
06-06-2008, 04:02 AM
yeah i didnt ******* REM because im not as familiar with their work as i am with modest mouse, the pumpkins, and weezer. didnt want to assume that they've fallen off a bit since their first half of work even though i know a few REM fans who think so.

how excited were you for accelerate?

NoFX - Heavy Petting Zoo

heavy petting zoo is one of the most underrated nofx albums. so good.

a little too new to qualify as a nostalgia-bringer for me, but still awesome.

Shapan
06-10-2008, 01:48 AM
heavy petting zoo has always been my favorite nofx abum

it came out right after punk in drublic so is your nostalgia cut off the year in between davin

davin
06-10-2008, 11:42 AM
well, punk in drublic came out in 1994 and heavy petting zoo was 96. and while it was not a full 2 years it definitely wasn't "out right after".

but yea, i guess looking at the list above my nostalgia cut off was indeed 1994.

Hmm...when I think of the term nostalgic, i think of things that take me back in time....being it that i'm 25...i guess nostalgic albums for me would be albums from my youth....everything up until like i was 12/13.

as embarrassing as this is, one of them is obviously the first cassette i ever owned at age 6 which was Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl"...laugh all you like, call me gay, but I will happily jam to that cassette any day. ;)

But to name a few....
alice in chains - facelift, dirt
smashing pumpkins - siamese dream
garbage - s/t
guns n roses - use your illusion, pt I
metallica - s/t
madonna - s/t
the cure - galore
pat benatar - best shots
fleetwood mac - rumours
veruca salt - eight arms to hold you
michael jackson - bad

Alkaline Trio - Maybe I'll Catch Fire

8th grade and freshman year of high school. BAM.

???
06-16-2008, 05:44 AM
the title is a bit of a giveaway, but Feeder's Yesterday Went Too Soon. reminds me of the last year of highschool.

other than that- In The Aeroplane Over the Sea and every SP album, that Bran Van 3000 song i posted recently, and DJ shadow's Endtroducing.

oh yeah, and those awesome acoustic ballads by Staind really destroyed when i was 15 :rockon: (epiphany, it's been a while)

pretty much i only feel nostalgic for times i didn't live in. if i was there, it's probably not worth going back to lol. i mean yeah the 80s would be it, but i was born in 79 so it was all in the haze of early childhood. in hindsight though i didn't think so at the time, the 90s are a bunch of shit, today is just abysmal, though i guess everyone always says that about their childhood years.
oh wait we were spose to talk about music?
it's weird, most of the 80s music i listen to a lot now i didn't discover til at least the 90s. my mom never had that much stuff, my dad never played me much of his.

06-16-2008, 05:35 PM
i think you can make the argument that it was just as fullfilling as the 60's and 70's, though maybe not as influential long term. only time will tell.

<font color=33FFFF> I get major nostalgia when listening to Kid A, not sure why, I think because it hit a few months after finishing high school and myself and all my friends were obsessed with it</font>

fuck you the 90s kicked asswhatever. i'll probably say that next week.
i resent that the atmosphere of angst/dis-ease/garish 'humble' introspective self-analyzation/etc that took over in the 90s has continued to have an overbearing influence on the music of today. it's more often displayed now and in the past by ppl who should have no right, or are just full of shit, and it's a disgrace. sure the 80s were disgraceful in their own way but to me it was more forgivable. it's all a constant process or whatever, a decade is just the easy way to break it down

06-18-2008, 10:27 AM
too much to list, basically
tons of 80's and 90's radio hit songs

Air's album's from the 90's are great nostalgia to me. even though they remind me of horrible, horrible times.
Adore is a monumental nostalgic album for me, as is OK Computer.
i used to listen to some shitty Korn records when i first started listening to music, jeez :erm:
