Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught the Train

arthropod
05.13.25 | Take the lenghty comment because I need to vent.
Metallica - The Unforgiven
My gateway into metal. Played on the radio during a late night car drive when I was a child, that's the most unforgettable Metallica experience.
Linkin Park - New Divide
The Rasmus - Livin' In a World Without You
Iron Maiden - Wasting Love
These are the soundtrack to my childhood.
Bullet For My Valentine - Watching Us Die Tonight
I had known this song for some time, but I've only formed a connection with it after somebody that I used to know turned away. I used to take long walks across the town and sing this song, and it helped to cope.
Karnivool - Sewn and Silent
This one's for someone I actually loved and still love. I never spoke to her about us drifting apart, I was scared to even talk about casual topics because I felt like a burden. The final couple of months for me were just touching and tearing back, silencing my thoughts and desperately wanting her to tell me it's my fault instead of watching her faltering on my horizon. The lyrics kind of seemed like nonsense before, but torment has opened my eyes.
Parkway Drive - Dying to Believe
On the sunny days when people were hanging out and enjoying their lives, I used to sit out of sight and jam this. Ire was with me when no man was, and I'll defend that album to death.
Prima Vista - Screaming
The vocalist was the most amazing person to meet.
Poets of the Fall - Overboard
It helped me move on. I felt like someone told me that I'll be fine and I believed them.
Thousand Foot Krutch - All I Need to Know
I was watching fireworks late at night and desperately wanted to cry, but I couldn't. |
brickhed
05.13.25 | that's a crazy thing to cut to
but other albums would be
Scratch Acid - S/T
The Jesus Lizard - Head, Goat, Down (Head takes me back the most)
Henry Threadgill - Too Much Sugar for a Dime
Tipographica - S/T, God Says I Can't Dance
Happy Family - Tossco
again that's all i can remember |
DaveyMonsoon
05.13.25 | Dunno if I can come up with 10, but one that definitely comes off the top of my head is Bastard by Devin Townsend. I still remember listening to Ocean Machine for the first time so long ago and hearing it and being blown away by the main riff. It's still one of my favorites of his as well. |
RVAHC13
05.14.25 | @zakalwe
Sorry that Moby song brings back bad memories for you. That just reminds me of going to the beach. I do love that James song
@jrlikestodance
That’s like all the music my mom didn’t want me listening to growing up lol
@arthropod
Your first Metallica experience was better than mine, I got started on Reload. Also haven’t listened to Karnivool in a while
@brickhed
Shit happens lol, also I learned about Jesus Lizard from Clerks like a lot of people
@DaveyMonsoon
I’ve had legions of people on here recommend me Devin Townsend and I still haven’t listened to him. Good place to start? |

Hybrid - If I Survive (listened to this a lot when I needed courage for talking to my first love)

Paul Kalkbrenner - Gutes Nitzwerk (uni years and I Love Techno in Ghent)

RVAHC13
01.29.26 | In Da Wind lol, haven’t heard that one in a minute
My music taste early on was definitely an amalgam of stuff I heard on the radio and what my family listened to. Wasn’t really until around 5th/6th grade I started to branch out and listen to stuff that was uniquely mine |
jrlikestodance
01.29.26 | In Da Wind is a such a classic. I had the same journey until I found Slipknot in 7th grade myself RVA. Before MTV, BET and VH1 and the radio were my best friends |
jrlikestodance
01.29.26 | Good shout n Dance With Me too Mimsy. I Don't Wanna Know is also one of the lamest R&B songs ever written if you read the lyrics lol |
Emim
01.29.26 | It would 100% be a drake song if it released in the last ten years |
Kimm

01.29.26 | Wasting Time is indeed a banger. Reminds me of when they toured for that record on Warped |
Kimm
01.29.26 | "Also kimm unredact that immediately"
Nah it's way too recent
I feel like these should take me back at least ten years
I threw in something else and now it's not alphabetical but IT'S FINE |
Kimm
01.29.26 | "Love wasting time. Perfect summer music"

01.29.26 | Ixnay’s a great album, I still listen to it quite a bit |
Emim
01.29.26 | His voice has not grown on me over the years lol |
RVAHC13
01.29.26 | Fair enough. Americana was where they started to turn for me (one song in particular I’ve always found grating even as a joke), couple songs from the s/t brought me back around a bit but by Splinter I’m checked out. Those first four albums I will always treasure though |
Kimm
01.29.26 | So if the thread dies and it's a new day can we bump it with another list?
I mean who's gonna stop me

Kimm
01.30.26 | Just casually mentioned this thread and my throwbacks to my sister and now we're listening to my 'Bad Nostlagia' playlist
Awesome
Happy Friday

I don't know why, but Ms Jackson by Outkast is the most intensely nostalgic song for me |
