ITT: Your fondest music memories

Just an hour ago or so I was walking home from work listening to pic related. Just stopped raining so everything was wet and the sun hadn't come up yet so the city lights were reflecting off the wet streets.
Sing starts up, and like all the songs off this album it starts pretty light but by the time I got home it had developed into its full combination of noises and melodies. Couldn't stop fucking twitching to the music on the way home and once I got in the door I just started fucking dancing, or whatever the fuck I was doing I dunno, but I couldn't stop.

Great shit, fucking love this fucking album

this album is very special to me. there were later moments in my life when i was totally down and at the bottom, but since that moment music (espeically certain prog rock pieces) always helped me get up again.

First time i listened no now by clarence clarity. I also happened to own studio monitors that time and that shit blew my mind.

Also listening to godspeed you black emperors album (the Yea Forumscore with the hands on the artwork, cant remember the name desu) on a long bus ride when it was dark outside

I always wanted to play guitar but I gave up when I was like 10 and then my guitar got ruined in a house flood. I always wanted to get back into it but by that point I had already given up twice so I felt too embarrassed to ask my parents for another one. When I moved out and got paid I went to the guitar store and bought a Squier Jazzmaster. That made me really happy, having an electric guitar of my own was like a dream come true.

not really a memory as I still work there. But at the hotel I work for I have a playlist that i'll listen to and add music. It kinda got me started on the search for new music and its been pretty rewarding so far

back when i was like 13 i was a fucking nerd that loved that shit band coldplay. i saw them during their tour for the viva la vida album and i went wild and experienced ego death for like 2 hours or something.

its so embarrassing i listen mostly to ambient, noise etc today and i hate that my best experience to music was to that fucking band.

When I hear a song that gives me strong emotion for the first time that moment remains in my head for a long time.
Once on bus coming home from uni, it was already dark, the streetlights being the only source of light. Only tomorrow by mbv starts playing in the headphones. I felt like that song had a unique feeling, and combined with everything else around me, the view of my city half illuminated through the glass of the window in that moment it gave me a new vibe, like when you're visiting a new city and everything is so different and new
Another time in my room, at 2 am, in complete darkness, this time it's "say it" by jay dilla featuring some rapper. The sample was magical, and I noticed how that song fit the moment I was in perfectly, I understood that there is no better way to listen to this song than at two in the morning in the dark. It too gave me a feeling, and imprinted that moment in my memory.
A remember a few other albums, but the stories are pretty similair to these

Do you still like them though? I loved imagine dragons but now I listen to more "underground" stuff or at least less pop and I don't like them much now, but I wonder wether that is only because of a different mindset

i think i still like a song or two from their first album, dont panic maybe? but i havent listened to those songs in years either.

Got it. Yeah I too had cool moments with music that today I wouldn't really enjoy. Especially bonding, it was easier back when I listened to pop. I met people who enjoyed the things I enjoy, even (amtorial) musicians, I remember being very happy telling my friend I really liked a specific moment in a song a song and he telling me he liked it too. Nowdays he thinks I have wierd/shit taste

oh yeah! the social aspect of music, which i think is extremely central, dissolves. i only have one or two friends these days that i can really talk to about music i enjoy.

First year in college, waking up early for the football game to wiz khalifa black & yellow, biological sister in bed next to me handing me the first steel reserve of the day

I'm lucky too to have a friend with whom to share and discuss music a bit. We don't have the same identical instersts but we have some shared music we like and we often send eachother random songs we think are cool/interesting
>That's why you learn an instrument kids.
However if you learnt the horn you'd never have such a situation
On a more serious note seems like you had a great night, nice one

>not replying with a "I hate the fucking Eagles man"

god, you're pathetic

Blasting the fuck out of "It's Raining Men" youtube.com/watch?v=l5aZJBLAu1E with all windows down in a busy street, my two friends in the front seat started holding hands and you could actually see people stares turning from confused to disgusted. Living in a racist shithole sometimes pay off.

It pays off by making it easier to make people think you're a homosexual?

Listening to relaxing music through headphones to fall asleep as a kid. The playlist had a lot of Nancy Griffith

Damn... I wish I had a dad
He died when I was 8, and my mother and I have distant relationship and she never praises me and have interest in me, like he did
Appreciate that user

I know that feel, user
There's something magical about Yes, and especially Close to the Edge. Amazing album

Recently, It was hearing this.

It's everything I love about hip-hop distilled into less than 40 minutes.

I haven't felt this way about an album in a good long while and I'm beyond mad that I haven't listened to it sooner.

Based, Close To The Edge is pure magic

listening to xiu xiu and crying when i was 16

out camping in france when we got caught in a massive thunderstorm, and i listened to long season on repeat for about 10 hours though the night in my tent because i couldn't sleep. ever since everytime i listen to it i feel immensely calm and comforted

I wouldn't really know if it's a happy memory or a sad one, but probably one of my more memorable memories that I associate with music is when I was with my ex, our last day together (I didn't know it at the time that she'd break up with me after one week, out of the blue). We had a perfect day, raw morning sex, big breakfast, went to a zoo, had some burgers after, went for a movie, then on the drive to her home, we listened to Lana del Rey - Video Games and M83 - Wait.
A loong time had to pass before I was able to listen to them again, and even if it's been 3 years, everytime I hear them now, I still get chills.

Attending the Las Vegs performance of the ZOOTV Outside Broadcast Tour.
I have posted about ti before so just gonna "pasta" my post from before.

"I have had the extreme privilege to see U2 perform live 5 times. The first being a performance of the "ZOOTV Outside Broadcast" Tour, The last being the "360 Tour". All in Las Vegas. All of the performances were special to me in their own way but nothing came close to ZOOTV. So many fond memories of that show. That was U2 in their prime when Bono's voice could rumble rafters and shatter glass. "

"ZOOTV may seem dated now but in 1991/92 it was the largest and most ambitious production show ever created. The stage had multiple large monitors that broadcast both live footage from the stage and were also capable of broadcasting sat. TV footage. The towers were so tall the FAA required them to have aviation warning beacons on them and they also were equipped with fog generators which are never really shown in the any of the footage. ( I saw them during the ZOOTV performance I attended in Las Vegas). The entire tour is considered legendary by many. This is U2 before the hate when they were globally the biggest band in the world.."

First time I listened to My Girls

viva la vida is a great pop song

first time I took acid, me and my three closest high school friends, just listened to Yeezus all day long and ran around in the woods. that same summer I would drive those same friends around, getting so drunk and going off-roading at midnight, fucking blasting Yeezus, "Black Skinhead" and "Send It Up" are so fun to drive to. Later, my best friend and I would drive through the Holland tunnel stoned listening to "Hold My Liquor", such a great experience.

I was having a good night so I didnt mind. Also isn't it wierd that a dude so into CCR hates the Eagles. The Eagles are the 70's equivalent of CCR.

Years ago back in high school I sold trash weed to classmates with a friend of mine. After word got around and the money started rolling in, we started selling edibles and did a pretty good job staying under the radar. One day when I was in the shower, some rando sent a message asking to purchase and my mom read my phone which happened to be sitting right next to her. I ended up getting grounded for a literal entire year and ended up growing distant from friends and my then-girlfriend who ended up leaving. I was recommended pic related by a buddy on facebook and I recognized the album art so I gave it a listen. Every feeling of despair went away and I ended up getting my shit together and even ended up getting ungrounded a little earlier than originally planned. Looking back, the whole situation was juvenille as hell but when Hollis passed, the memories of that first listen came rolling back in full force. One of the few instances where an album completely straightened my outlook at the time for the better.

Siberian Khatru came into my rotation one time and it fucking clicked immediately. Pure magic. Then I listened to the full album, and holy fuck. It opened the flood gates of Prog to me.

absolutely exquisite taste.

happy for you

Sitting up awake in bed around two in the morning, listening to Venetian Snares (Doll Doll Doll, I'm pretty sure) and masturbating to a variety of badly-written parasitic paratactic palimpsest incest fantasies. It was one of those times, I guess, where under any other circumstance once I'd become aware of myself I would feel totally disgusted and miserable, but in that particular moment of horny sleepless lucidity I could appreciate the very base pleasures of flagellation and polyrhythm. Life was very comfortable.

Sitting outside a community college listening to GG Allin with my friend Michael, talking about particular shits we've taken and professional wrestling.

Cutting myself listening to Angels of Light after learning my friend had gotten arrested for plotting to shoot up a mall, crying miserably until my body was covered in a second skin of tears and I could crawl open and free.

Making out with the first girl I ever loved while the soundtrack to Sonic 2 mixed with Prince and Funkadelic in the background.

Waking up to my father playing Simon and Garfunkel on his guitar and falling back asleep.

Talking about foot fetishism and Kathy Acker with some dear retard from the old /noise/ generals, kept awake by the rumbling airport hum of None Friendly.

Driving to college at 5:30 AM, blasting Mercyful Fate and feeling totally assured in myself.

I think that's all.

The Beta Band on a heroic-dose psilocybe trip was probably (strangely) the most profound experience of my life. Literally cured my depression and bloomer'd me.

i had sex with a girl to an album we both like :)

came up on acid on a beach during the world's prettiest sunset listening to dive by tycho. also feels by anco playing in my boyfriend's car as we confessed our feelings for each other a few years ago

Being trampled on in an Exodus pit and getting kicked in the temple with steeltoed boots leaving me seeing stars. It left me barely concious resulting in me jumping off a PA stack during Anthraxs set

how is swimming on acid?

Second time I did MDMA I listened to Space Song by Beach House, and that melody after the 'fall back into place' part made me cum because it was so good

in the city at a party in 2015 and my friend went missing @ 2AM. we were told he went to some stranger’s house like 12 blocks away. me and another friend skateboarded over there on a recon mission only to find him drunk and passed out on the floor while the guy and his friends welcomed us. they were all coming down on acid while watching a VHS tape on marine biology as Magical Mystery Tour was playing on the turntable (your mother should know came just came on). actually ended up being a very fun evening and also made some cool friends.

Thanks man, it was tough but it’s worth it

my parents divorced when i was 15. my dad lived out of state afterwards so he visited every few months. one time, my siblings and i were with him in his truck while he sang wind of changes by scorpions while the sun was setting. it was beautiful and i almost cried. the next day we drove around a lake and listened to some iron maiden while it was getting dark out. i almost cried that time too.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire came out just before my senior year of high school. We just moved to AZ the year before, so my junior year was very lonely and difficult.

Ended up making a ton of good friends early in my senior year, got into college of my dreams, met a girl and fell in love with her pretty quick. Drove around for hours together listening to that album, in the suburbs. It felt perfect. We ended up going to Coachella that year with our group of friends and waited at the main stage for six hours, tripping on acid for the first time ever. I'll never forget the balls falling from the stage as they played Wake Up, and then them lighting up during sprawl ii to close the set. Still the best show I've ever seen.

We both went off to college and stopped speaking. Haven't heard from her since July 2012. That album really is so hard to listen to still, but it reminds me of the best 8 months of my life.

I still think about her every day. Don't want to get back together with her, but wish I could go back and experience that one more time.

Making out with two girls while the cure were playing A Forest in the background. Honestly a highlight of my teenage years. I was a fat fuck and these two were both drunk enough to instigate it. Also the cure are great.

damn this is really sweet but also super heartbreaking. you seem like a romantic, i think we might be kindred spirits

i didn't actually swim but my best friend who i was with did and she said it felt incredible. very free and animalistic

Listening to Untogether by Blue Hawaii while on a Megabus coming back from a professional conference. I took a late in the evening Megabus and watching the sunset and going through miles of wooded forests with no other cars in sight made me feel at peace in a way I have never really felt before. When Try To Be came on I broke into tears because it hit me super hard with message that you are never good enough for most people and you have to accept it almost.

Since then I have gone to the gym every day, I have stopped lying to my therapist about my issues and I have made progress on being able to look co-workers in the eye when talking to them(Stemfag so autism is in my blood). It's just a beautiful album and try to be is a beautiful song. I am nowhere near loving a good life But I am working on it which is a first.

Also Avril 14th is the most beautiful piece ever written so happy Avril 14th.
