Title: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: Mr. DS on November 09, 2009, 08:47:49 PM Are there certain songs/albums that take you back to a certain point of your life that you could recall what you were doing? Maybe thoughts or feelings you had in the past either happy or sad. The Aerosmith thread make me think of the album Get A Grip. I had just wrapped up Sophomore year in high school and it was summer time. I recall that summer going to driving school and having a blast all vacation long. The album was all over the radio so it kind of served as a soundtrack.
Certain songs on that album make also think of playing Revolution X in the arcade at Six Flags New England. Particularly on cold fall nights when we'd go to enjoy their Halloween attractions. It brings back a lot of happy memories. I'll mention other songs/albums but I figured I'd let you other folks get nostalgic with me first. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: HappyGilmore on November 09, 2009, 09:11:19 PM One I can recall immediately is Running With Scissors by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It takes me back to the summer of '99. I was 15 years old, I was working part-time at a local corner store. Al had a few videos released (The Saga Begins (about Episode 1), as well as a Puff Daddy parody), as well as having a "Behind the Music" special and an AL Tv special on MTV. I also remember it as sort of a soundtrack in the car with friends as we'd be driving all over the place (to parties, to the movies (like the South Park movie, Star Wars Episode 1, etc).
Just brings back these great memories of time long gone that I'll never get back, unfortunately, due to circumstances. If I could relive that summer one more time, I'd be happy. :teddyr: Can't explain what that summer meant to me. Too much good stuff happened. Life was much simpler then. :bluesad: Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: Mr. DS on November 09, 2009, 09:23:16 PM Beat It by Michael Jackson makes me think of my brother's reaction to it. I didn't personally see the video until later but I recall my brother coming home one night completely flipping out about the video. He talked about it like it was the greatest thing he had ever seen. I think he had caught it over his friend's house who unlike us had MTV.
Speaking of that, I recall the rotation that was on MTV when we first got extended cable. Guns And Roses had just hit big with Sweet Child O Mine (I didn't like them at the time though) and was playing what seemed like every other video. MTV had a top 20 video countdown which I wactched all summer long. I recall around this time discovering the early days of Nick that had shows like You Can't Do That On Television, Finders Keepers and Double Dare among others. Like Happy pointed out, much simpler times.

And, good or bad, Nick had the best tv shows (Double Dare, You Can't Do That On Television, and my all-time favorites: Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life.) Nickelodeon: What happened to ye? :bluesad: Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: retrorussell on November 09, 2009, 10:34:12 PM The compilation albums of 70s or 80s always were chock full of hits (or semi-hits) that I grew up with. I own the whole set of Have A Nice Day: Hits of the 70s, and Radio Daze: Hits of the 80's. As for non-comp albums:

I'd just graduated high school. In fact, I saw Star Trek V at the drive-in on the same day I finished school. Had that tape playing in the car constantly that summer. That and Aerosmith's Greatest Hits (1979), which stirs up similar memories.
Alice Cooper's Constrictor reminds me of jogging at night around the same summer. Had that tape in the walkman on auto reverse and just kept listening. Heart's Brigade reminds me of a summer in the early 90s. Three friends and I packed up and drove to Toronto for the Labour Day weekend. Strictly a last-minute thing, and the only accommodation we could find was at a shabby motel in an industrial area. When we went out on the town, this was what was in the tape deck. Wasn't my car. To this day, Fallen from Grace still reminds me of riding in the backseat through the streets of Toronto after dark, on our way to the Hard Rock Cafe, the CN Tower, etc. Sweet Home Alabama reminds me of the annual camping trips I used to take with the same bunch of guys every May long weekend. The official start of summer for us. We were playing Skynyrd in the campsite, the car, the boat. That and Stompin' Tom Connors' A Proud Canadian album. But Stompin' Tom reminds me more of doing home improvements at my best friend's house in the early to mid 90s. It was our working music, played during whatever job we were doing. This list could go on and on. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: HappyGilmore on November 10, 2009, 09:54:31 AM The Very Best of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons- Takes me back to the summer of 2005. I had just turned 21, and my summer vacation. We vacation every year at the Jersey Shore, and my grandfather had just be re-diagnosed with lung cancer (had it once, beat it, then two years later it came back), and he would blare his Frankie Valli cd on a loop the entire summer. Particularly while we'd be driving all over the shore. Which was a great soundtrack, having the 'Jersey Boys' playing while cruising the Jersey Shore. Really was the best vacation I'd had, as I'd be at the beach and boardwalk all day, then at night I'd cruise the nightlife (I just turned old enough to drink), then head back to the motel to party with my friends and family from midnight to 4AM.
Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: Mr. DS on November 10, 2009, 11:45:09 AM Bohemeian Rhapsody reminds me of the summer Wayne's World came out and the song was everywhere. My class had taken a trip to the beach in June. I went through the 50 bucks my dad had given me on mostly games in the arcade on the boardwalk. I had to bum a buck off a kid I know for a drink because I was beyond thirsty and out of money. Overall, it was a great time. It seems my fun in high school lasted through 10th grade and went downhill after that.
Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: hellbilly on November 10, 2009, 02:15:47 PM Jill Jones - Jill Jones takes me back to the summer of 1987. I was a huge Prince fan and also bought every album of his protegees. I remember being so happy that I was able to get Jill Jones on CD! A friend of mine was working at a record store back then and she was kind enough to order me a copy. It was my most played album and I loved each song and had such a huge crush on Jill :teddyr: Another highlight that same summer was catching a rare showing of Jill's one and only music video from the album, "Mia Bocca" on TV:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC1488biMTg I started my first job in September, and Jill was accompanying me on my portable discman when things got boring during my shift. I still own the (long OOP) CD which at some point went for a couple hundred of dollars on e-bay and amazon a few years ago. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: Psycho Circus on November 10, 2009, 03:26:26 PM Pretty much every song by L.A. Guns makes me remember being dressed like a hooker, getting thrown out of bars and fighting with my ex-girlfriend.
Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: HappyGilmore on November 10, 2009, 06:50:39 PM SWEET "Fox on the Run" [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MDCbIhTa_w [/url] Is it wrong of me to say that I really like Sweet? Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: retrorussell on November 10, 2009, 07:33:54 PM Nothing wrong with liking Sweet, even if Brian Connolly looks like a banana with a vest in this video. I love to karaoke this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfdWQcfs4yo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj1ktBPjMMk&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GxOoZXyO48 Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: Jack on November 11, 2009, 07:49:40 AM Kim Wilde - Kids in America; always makes me think of being over at my girlfriend's house in San Diego, senior year of high school. I'd pick her up for school every morning, spend a half hour at her house. That's when I first heard that song.
Eagles - Hotel California. Driving my Mustang in San Diego, nicely buzzed on some Apaculpo Gold Thai. Came over the top of a small hill, the setting sun was a big golden globe, that song was playing. Pure paradise. Def Leppard - Pyromania album. The drummer in our band loved that album, pretty sure it was the only tape he had in his car. Brings back memories of driving around Minneapolis in his old Monte Carlo, with his car stereo amplifier that made a buzzing sound that rose and fell in unison with the car engine. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: AndyC on November 11, 2009, 09:17:10 AM Def Leppard's Hysteria album reminds me of working as a janitor in a local tourist trap when I was in high school. It was after hours, and we all had tunes playing in our respective areas. One guy was playing this all the time, which is actually how I discovered I like Def Leppard. Must have been 1987 or 88.
Ragdoll, by Aerosmith - My last year of high school, late May or early June. It was 1989, the school's 50th anniversary, and all of the students were gathered in the playing field for an aerial photo. We were spelling out EDSS 39-89. One friend of mine (actually more of a friend of a friend) who was kind of a conceited doofus from a rich family, spent the whole time circling the streets around the school in his brand new red Mustang convertible, blasting this tune. The photo is still on display in the school foyer, and I've noted the cars of other friends in the parking lot, each with stories of their own, but come to think of it, I've never looked for the red Mustang on the street. The song still takes me back to that day though. That reminds me of another friend, not rich or conceited but still kind of a doofus, who seemingly played played nothing but Roxette's Joyride in his car for weeks. It was not long after the album came out. When I think of that song, I think of one summer evening. He had recently bought a Pontiac Grand Am, and drove it everywhere at high speed with the tunes blasting. A few of us were sitting in our local watering hole one Friday evening, not much was happening, and somebody decided we visit a popular country bar about half an hour away. So, we all pile into this guy's car and take off. We covered the half-hour drive in about 15 minutes, doing over 160km/h (96mph), and he just kept playing Joyride, rewinding and playing it again, all the way there and all the way back. Incidentally, I was driving out of town a couple of months later, and spotted the Grand Am upside-down in the ditch on a tight curve, so the driving did eventually catch up with him. At least he wasn't hurt. Anyway, Joyride reminds me of that drive, a bunch of funny things that happened that night (I still have a souvenir in fact) and the Grand Am in general. I've never deliberately listened to the song, not being a fan of Roxette, so I seldom hear it. But when I do, I'm always transported back to one really memorable night.

Takes me back to the time when I got barred from the same pub twice. This song was playing in the background both times lol. First time I was accused of snorting cocaine (mistaken identity), which is crap, 'cause the clown man has never done drugs! Second time was for fighting in the toilet. Some dudes from a band I bad-mouthed tried to jump me in there, so I lamped one of the scrawny b***hes right in the teeth. Before you know it, I had about 3-4 guys on me shouting at me to get out and I went like a gentlemen.....only to start more chaos in the street. :lookingup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFG85n5qsHM This one always reminds me of the time, to my shame, that I'd slashed my wrists and the police had bashed the door in to stop me. I ended up getting the crap kicked out of me by 3 police officers and then remember getting thrown in the back of an ambulance.

This was a big tune when I first went to college. It was on the radio every time we drove home from OSU and back. Lots of time spent drinking in bars and playing Tempest arcade game. If it hadn't been for my closeted gay roommate being a pain, I'd almost want to go back to those days.

"The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY0536g_6Wc I was a young, dumb and angry kid and for whatever reason, he provided the soundtrack for a little bit. "Summer Girls" by LFO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHuGG_FsC20 Boy band from the late '90s.

Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: AndyC on November 16, 2009, 05:10:52 PM K-Tel compilations! Now that does take me back. Goofy Greats was my most played as a kid.
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NwcykC14cBg/SL3g6gsINcI/AAAAAAAABEg/1t0tuZfQYWE/s1600/goofygreatsyf0.jpg) Followed by one called 20 Top Hits, which is virtually impossible to Google, being the "John Smith" of album titles. But like Goofy Greats, it had some Ray Stevens content as well. Oh, and this tune.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfBwsG8ubFw But my favourite cover, one I still have kicking around the office somewhere is this... (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/154/354583803_bf5d7f8e11.jpg) Robbie the Robot sure got around. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: JaseSF on November 16, 2009, 08:45:49 PM "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" takes me back to my youth as does "Thriller". Michael Jackson was a huge star when I was a little kid. We had sticker albums with him on it even. Imagining licking Michael Jackson :buggedout: - I did lick his sticker. Kinda disturbing nowadays given what we now know or suspect anyways :buggedout:. Baseball cards you name it, we had it with Jackson on it when I was a kid. Aside from Jackson, mainly I listened to my Dad's old Jim Reeves records although he wasn't too fussy with me scratching them all up which I inevitable did. Actually I still like Reeves music to this day and a lot of Jackson's too to be honest.
Cyndi Lauper and Madonna takes me back too as they were very popular in the 80s. Lauper too was involved with WWF wrestling (remember the rock 'n' wrestling connection?) with makes her stick out more in my memory. Aside from them, it was mainly Duran Duran and canadian rockers Bryan Adams and Corey Hart we listened to as kids. When videos became more popular though, heavy metal hair bands became all the rage especially Twisted Sister with these rebellious videos for "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" and Van Halen with "Jump". I recall watching these videos quite a bit with my friends. The next phase that stands out in my memory was the rap/techno fad of the late 80s with Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, Run DMC, Technotronic and DEE-LITE bursting on the scene. I associate this era with high school mainly as that was what my friends listened to at the time. By the 90s though, going to university I got into college music and became more familiar with classic R.E.M., the new groundbreaking Nirvana (who I recall hitting it huge during my first year in university) and bands like Barenaked Ladies and other Canadian classics like Spirit of the West and the Skydiggers. Eventually I would also stumble across punk from the 80s and it had the raw sound I found I liked best of all and it's still the music I most prefer nowadays yet I also love a lot of these others mentioned too. A good tune is a good tune regardless. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: Mr. DS on November 16, 2009, 09:16:53 PM Alice In Chains Facelift/Dirt sometimes reminds me of when I first got my Sega Genesis. I had just bought both albums on tape and listened to them often while playing Sonic The Hedgehog.
Albums by White Zombie, Prong, NIN, Korn and the Crow Soundtrack kind of made up my college days. It was a time of freedom for me but also a time of frustration and agression. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: AndyC on November 16, 2009, 09:26:57 PM Queen's Gimme the Prize, Nazareth's Hair of the Dog and Instruments of Destruction by Kick Axe all remind me of lifting weights in the basement as a teenager.

I could never understand the appeal of Spiders and Snakes. Perhaps worse even than Dead Skunk. I always loved Badfinger. One of the saddest stories in rock music history though. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: AndyC on November 17, 2009, 10:54:13 PM Ah, Dead Skunk takes me back to the early 90s, driving home from the drive-in during the wee hours of the morning. It was maybe half an hour of mostly back road driving back to my place, and we happened to pass by a dead skunk in the middle of the road. I think this might have been back when a CD set called Fun Country came out, so my memory had been refreshed, vis-a-vis that particular song.

Didn't really matter to me. She found it to be great mood music for her. I was really in love with her and she broke my heart seriously. Ripped it out of my chest, stomped on it a bit, ran over it with her car, played basketball with it, used it for fetch with her dog and then put it in a juicer.
So, I seriously still to this day can't stand to listen to anything from that album as it brings up too many bad memories. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: venomx on November 29, 2009, 08:26:30 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmiiW936jqw&feature=related

Quick story about this song. My brother and his friends were participating in a lip synch gong show idea at his college campus. So they decided to imitate this video. They worked for weeks on the choreography, my brother went out and bought the "Choose Life" shirt and they thought they had it down pat. Well, one minute in they were gonged. Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: AndyC on December 02, 2009, 10:56:57 PM Lip-synch contests. Reminds me of a number some friends of mine practiced for a school contest way back when. Can't remember how they fared, just remember them practicing in my basement, as their own parents didn't want the noise. I did some lighting effects for them, flicking lamps on and off mostly. We all thought it was the coolest thing, but I imagine we all looked like dorks. I think I now understand the smirks on my parents' faces.

The only books you need are JOEL WHITBURN's Billboard Top 40 Hits in any edition since 1986... (heh heh) and the Billboard Top 40 Albums is also essential. As for music criticism, I have the 1979 Rolling Stone Record Guide which excluded many artists, but no one in the mainstream at that time (I bought my falling apart trade paper new in 1979) now, I also have the 2004 Rolling Stone Album Guide which upgraded artists from critical oblivion (like BLACK SABBATH) to enshrine them, and includes all kinds of low-rent one-off juvenile wind, yet ignores artists like BARBRA STREISAND, and CAPTAIN BEEFHEART (though he made their Top 100 of their Top 500 albums of All Time in 2003 = :lookingup:) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_500_Greatest_Albums_of_All_Time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_500_Greatest_Albums_of_All_Time) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF1qFXGWejE Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: retrorussell on December 03, 2009, 02:29:53 AM Andy was thinking Burton was not a one-hit wonder as a solo artist.. I say otherwise. His take was on the previous page.
I have Joel Whitburn's Top 100 hits dated up to 2000. I also have a book of the top UK Hits up to 2004, a book on "Bubbling Under" songs (that made the top 101 to 130), and a book of semi-biographies on various bands.

UGH! :buggedout: :bouncegiggle: Oh jeez, Melanie! I haven't seen that movie in years. I caught it on TV in the very early 90s, and had, until then, been completely unaware that Burton Cummings had tried his hand at acting. Weird. I remember it being not too bad, though, and it had some good songs on the soundtrack. It helps that his character is a piano-playing singer-songwriter. One part that cracked me up was Melanie buying his album during the climactic "getting their s**t together" montage, and the cover is The Best of Burton Cummings with the character's name subbed in. I've had that album for years, so it struck me as funny. Here's the montage, with a great song, "Something Old, Something New." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t_HAY0Lgc0 I did know that he'd done some comedy in the past. He makes an uncredited appearance on the MacLean and MacLean comedy album, Bitter Reality, including a couple of songs he sings as "Frankie Fontaine, the King of Genital Rock." His voice is unmistakable. Try to imagine Burton Cummings singing a song about a guy whose wife lost her hands in an industrial accident: Keep those rusty hooks away from me You almost ripped it off yesterday Baby, baby, keep those rusty hooks away Or else you'll rip it off today Couldn't find a clip of it, but here's something else from Bitter Reality. Not exactly in keeping with the theme, but it is an album that takes me back.

I'm not really a fan of slower, more soulful stuff (Gaye, White, Green, etc.); I like it more peppy, funky, faster, more busy. I do like Ooh Child and More Today Than Yesterday quite a bit. Speaking of one-hit wonders.. more from later in the '70s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ejlr-c5Yfg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeP45NpMj4w&feature=related Title: Re: Songs/Albums That Take You Back Post by: Allhallowsday on December 27, 2009, 11:56:44 PM Since you don't like AL GREEN, this is not for you... :smile:
