Albums that defined a certain time in your life.

[Vomitore]

We all have certain moments in our lives that when you think back about someone you broke up with or went on a great vacation ect. What are a few albums that defined a certain time in your life? For me

Iron Maiden "Killers" ... I was 5 years old and heard metal for the first time!

Van Halen "Fair Warning" I was at my first job, working late into the nights to make deadlines.

Slayer "Reign In Blood" I went to a continuation school after dropping out of regular school ... Yes, I graduated.

Judas Priest "Turbo" There's a song called "Parental Guidance" and it's about people not understanding why people love metal. It was perfect 'cause I was getting family flack for being a metalhead.

Cannibal Corpse "Tomb of the Mutilated" The first time I heard death metal, and knew I wanted to be in a metal band.

No question... Pearl Jam 10. Black... well, THE WHOLE THING!

Then, Blind Melon...... No Rain

Nirvana......... Teen Spirit

Those are the first that pop in my mind.... that REALLY move me.


Then of course theres my Hub's band! But I'm kinda Jaded!

Hm.. from the time I was roughly 16, to 19.. Type O Negative's October Rust. I still listen to it, but it was one of those CDs that just defined that era; barely going to school, not working, hanging out in my friends' attic smoking, swiping beers from their dad, staying up and living off of foods from the nearby convenience store.. some other CDs that pop into mind from that time was Tool's Aenima, Ozzy's Ozzmosis, and System of a Down.

After that, my best friend Jill and i spent many a night just aimlessly driving around; I worked til, say, 9pm and then we hit the streets! We'd go to the drive-in; get various friends and hangers-on to go out for coffee, etc. and got into mroe trouble than anyone can imagine! During this time we heavily listened to alot of dark stuff like Electric Hellfire Club, more Type O, Marilyn Manson, and a bunch of stuff you probably never heard of

Now, I am living the hardworking, relatively tame life with my man; couldn't be happier with my 50 hour workweek, horses to care for, and rural life; but I still love my crazy music! it is amazing how one song can bring you to tears, or drive ya to hysterics just from memories that it brings up!!

I'm quite amazed at the musical tastes on this website. Dig it. Lesse, I'm going to have to go with...

Ænima - Tool - I first heard them in the 8th grade. I loved them instantly and actually just got back from thier show last weekend. That was my second time seeing them. It was incredible.

Blackwater Park - Opeth - First taste of some real death metal, but the clean singing and melodic acoustic guitars made it a little more palpable. Love them and have seen them live twice as well.

Currently it's:

Bloody Kisses - Type O Negative - I love this guys as of late. They have a really groovy sound that is almost hypnotic. And since I recently got hired on at Hot Topic, I'm sure I'll be hearing more of them. (Side note, My manager has 5 BPs of his own!)

Cool; glad to see another Type O fan! I heard a rumor though that Peter Steele is in jail.. gotta research that when I have more time today later on. I don't care, their music is the best.

In my youth, it had to be AC/DC. My dad loved it; I would come home from Kindergarten, and he would be playing it really loud on the record player--every time I hear old AC/DC, I think of my dad and my childhood.

As I got older, music actually stopped mattering to me, until I got into high school; I'm ashamed to admit that I was a HUGE ICP fan in 10th grade. I grew out of that. 'Nuff said.

Then there was Georgia, a few back roads late at night going to and from college, and Jonathan Davis. I would listen to Korn right wide open in my car, speed my way to classes and then home. I loved that--the freedom of being able to listen to my music as loud as I wanted.

After college, it was V.A.S.T. until about the time I moved to MD, and then I just pretty much gave up picking favorites and just become an audiophile. It's a lot easier. I listen to so much music of so many varieties, it's not even funny. Right now(and this isn't much for me), my computer has 1511 songs on my winAMP playlist--and only so little because I currently don't have a huge harddrive to store all the music I'd want to have.

Crap.... I gotta add Audioslave fore current. Not the last cd... the one before. I'm a huge Chris Cornell fan. Temple of the Dog was um, too good. Anyone ever hear Brad? Shame was my fav. from them. Current songs I play before seeing the office staff... Mudvane Fu%$#ing determined... Nonpoint 2 cd's ago.... And then I throw in some Nina Samone. Gotta be well rounded right? Traffic tunes... #1 Primus! You can't really develope road rage listening to Tommy the Cat!

[shhhli]

boom boom tsk.

alright, since apparently everyone (or most) of bp.net'ers are metal heads...

i would say Rancid's Up Against the Wall, Radio, and Ruby Soho resound to me. I cant say much for albums but those three songs really reviberate for me. Radio makes me nostolgic(sp).

then, NOFX's I'm Not Insane (i think that's it...i could never remember the name of that song- but that's a bit of the chorus) and Pods & Gods also come to mind as songs that mean a lot to me, even though the former is just goofy and the latter ... i have no idea ... you have to hear it or such.
