GTKY- CD Nostalgia

[pinkcat]

Good Morning GKU! This morning on the drive in I was listening to the Hot Fuss album by the Killers and it was bringing back alllllll the feels. Also, I was feeling so old when I realized it came out TWELVE YEARS ago.

Listening to All These Things That I've Done brought me right back to senior year of HS, driving around with my best friend at the time when we were so emotional about HS ending and going to different colleges. That CD was my jam the whole summer after graduation, Brandon Flowers was my crush, and we felt like we were so cool. (Spoiler- we weren't)

What CD brings you back to HS? Or what songs? I could list so, so many here!

Blessid Union of Souls- I have purchased 3 of them because they get worn out. It takes me back to a very positive place, and get fuzzies when I hear it. Any time me or my childhood best friend here anything from that cd, we always contact each other.

The summer between sophomore and junior year of high school, my best friend and I listened to Fall Out Boy's "From Under the Cork Tree" CD on repeat. Those songs are so nostalgic for me!

Lately I've been listening to a third eye blind station on pandora. It's of lot of TEB, matchbox 20, blink 182, etc. it makes me so so soo happy.

I old school Third Eye Blind so much. It's impossible to change the station if one of their songs come on. Now Never Let You Go is going to be stuck in my head all day! And how good was Deep Inside of You?

[summerdonna]

I got out my Blink 182 CD last week that I made of my favorite songs from all their CDs. Blink 182 = instahappy for me.

[joy]

Different songs remind me of different times...

Like, Drops of Jupiter and Accidentally in Love are ALL the summer between my junior and senior year of college. I lived in Cooperstown, NY, worked at a store there five days a week and commuted back to my college to work five days a week there in a lab. I was always driving somewhere. It was the summer that my husband and I started more seriously sort of dating.  That 4th of July, I was driving home from working in Cooperstown and I stopped to watch the fireworks.  I pulled over by the lake, sat on the roof of my car, and watched the fireworks alone.  I lived with two good friends but our schedules were insane.  Honestly, it was nice to have a moment of peace since I worked every day, often twice a day in two different places.

Sarah Maclachlan "I Will Remember You" and Black Eye Cherry "Save Tonight" are senior year of high school.

Blink 182 brings me back to HS every time. Also Sublime's Caress Me Down because my girlfriends and I would try to sing the Spanish lyrics cause we knew they were so dirty.

[joy]

We listened to the beginning of "Baby Got Back" the other day. Oh my god - middle school!

[goldenlove3]

Oh man.. I went through a lot of phases during high school with music. For hip hop, Ruff Ryders, Ludacris, Nelly, Sisqo. Then I got into rock/alternative music and liked Lincoln Park, Limp Bizkit, Blink 182. It's so hard to pick just one.

I love the way an old CD makes you feel!! All the memories start flooding in.

Incubus - Make Yourself
Ben Folds - Rockin' The Suburbs
Coldplay - Parachutes
DCFC - Plans/Transatlanticism
The Postal Service - Give Up
Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales
Radiohead - The Bends

Many more, but these were my JAM!

[titania]

I forgot No Doubt! My BF and I would totally rock out to Tragic Kingdom in middle school!

pinkcat +1 for Hot Fuss taking me back.

Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American is probably my ultimate nostalgia album. One of my best friends and I used to crank it and sing harmony. Sweetness is basically a swift kick in the feels.

My favorite Jimmy Eat World song is "Big Casino." It pumps me up every time. So good!!!

[requiressnacks]

Any 90's hip hop does the trick for me - Notorious BIG, Lil Kim, DMX. I loved it all!

All of these plus Eve 6. It was strange that so many bands had numbers in their names. Also Sisqos Thong Song might've been blasted from my hs car a few times. 

Green Day Dookie brings me back to middle school in my friends room, we would listen to it on repeat. 

Thanks for for the trip back. I'm going to go listen to my napster music library and reminisce about the days when it took 40 mins to illegally download a song, and then how excited I was when I discovered Limewire and broadband internet in college. 

Edit: spelling is hard

[lgraceh]

goldenlove3, Ludacris, Nelly, Sisqo definitely take me back. We would drive around in my little convertible BLASTING the most offensive rap/hip hop we could rip off Napster.

"Old School" rock takes me back to HS as well. Journey, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen.

Jimmy Eat World takes me back to lifeguarding during the summer.

Edit: I apologize for the exorbitant use of the phrase "takes me back". I need coffee. And Apparently a thesaurus.

The Summer Hits of the 90's channel on Pandora. Includes a lot of Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, Save Tonight by Eagle-Eye Cherry, All Star by Smash Mouth, etc.

We listen to that a lot in my house when we want some nostalgic music. Plus it's still entertaining.

They changed a radio station here to classic hip hop a couple months ago and it is amazing!

I Believe is one of my all time favorites. Forever.

[goldenlove3]

Also, N*E*R*D "In Search Of.." reminds me of jamming and driving around with my BFF getting slurpees from 7-11.

[mazzola23]

Third Eye Blind for sure.

Daughter by Pearl Jam- my bff and i listened to it 40 times in a row. Losers!

Any 311 CD- I used to be really into them.

Under Pressure by Queen- we would always listen to that driving around.

[Andrea]

Saves the Day (Through with Being Cool) and Brand New (Seventy times Seven) will forever be my go to summer albums.

Also, to all of you old school Third Eye Blind lovers. Anyone else cry to Motorcycle Drive by during a break up?

Ohhhh and Oasis?

Nothing about this post says "loser" to me! There is a reason Pearl Jam and 311 have lasted so long. So, so good.

It was meant to be a weekend promotional thing around the holidays but people were so pumped that they made it permanent. It's seriously awesome.
