most nostalgic album

which album from your childhood just elicits pure feels of nostalgia? you know nearly every word, and something about it just tugs at your heart strings.

for me it's Blink 182 - Dude Ranch

it's a pretty emo album about heart ache, which i don't experience, since i'm happily married, but i still fucking love cranking this album, singing along and chugging some beers.

a close 2nd is Jimmie's Chicken Shack - Pushing the Salmonella Envelope

both these CDs remind me of my youth, like middle school or early high school.

 

There are quite a few, but this one immediately comes to mind:

 

loony tunes k tel

my grandmother gave it to me..i probably wore it out

 

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Marshall Mathers LP, The Wall.

Songs themselves are more nostalgic for me. But these were the albums that got me through my "dark night of the soul" in late childhood/early teen years .

 

I think for a full album it'd be Jagged Little Pill

I can think of a few that remind me of high school, but since I was in middle school when that one came out it defines a lot more time for me.

The only album I can of that I know/remember in full before that is Sade's Love Deluxe...I think that was the name of it...however I couldn't really relate to those songs being they were about love and I was like 8?

 

Insane clown posse - great Milenko

=p

I didn't listen to it for a long time and earlier this year I spun it and nailed every motherfucking line XD

 

I could list a ton but I'll list:

Radiohead-OK Computer

I don't believe I even fully enjoyed this album as much as I have some others when I initially listened to it but I did sense something different about it that my young adolescent self couldn't really pinpoint and found rather unsettling. I also for whatever reason used to listen to it with my friend without skipping any songs, playing it as a complete album. I feel it's one of those changing of the guard albums and I found it unsettling because it was completely deconstructing the sound that had become generic at that time and warping into this alien otherness which I didn't really know how to respond upon the initial listening. I have came to immensely enjoy this album now.

Pink Floyd-Wish You were Here

This was one of the first albums that I discovered on my own. It was one of the earlier albums that made me want to pick up a guitar.

 

Love's Forever Changes. The album is from 1968, but I first heard it when I was in high school. Needless to say, nobody at my school was nearly as cool as me, hence my lack of popularity.

 

If by "childhood" we mean high school I would say it's:

Rancid-And out come the wolves
Bush-Sixteen Stone
Metallica-The black album

 

nice call with Bush

 

Thanks. One of my best friends growing up was slightly obsessed with Gavin Rossdale. I can't listen to Bush without thinking of him. He even signed everybody's yearbook "The Next Gavin Rossdale"

Nice call on Blink 182. That is one of those bands that make me so happy. I can't even count the times I've seen them live, the last time was in September. They bring me joy! Not really a band I can admit to liking to my hardcore punk friends. I understand they are a pop band but I love them and they make me smile.

 

they had to go by Bush-x here due to another band already claiming the Bush name

 

Bush reminds me of my childhood, although I never had any of their albums.

Since you all are now saying high school(or I didn't see it at first):

Nikka Costa- Everybody Got Their Something
Incubus- Morning View
A Twist of Jobim- Various Artists
Dave Matthews Band- probably several albums, don't know which ones exactly (this was probably middle school and high school)

*Just remembered I played the shit out of Nelly Furtado's first album. I still love those songs though she abandoned that style when she got popular.
*Also Fiona Apple-Tidal
*Erykah Badu- Live
Lauryn Hill- The Miseducation

Also I had this tape in elementary school called Mickey Mouse rap...I would probably know all the songs if I listened again. Also I had the Animaniacs album!

 

i'm with you on Dude Ranch by Blink 182. My best friend and I used to crank this album up and attempt to skateboard to it in middle school.

also Weezer's Blue album. i was thinking about this album the other day. My very first boyfriend let me borrow it on a 3 hour bus ride for an 8th grade field trip. I listened to it the whole way there and back.

Any Nirvana album, but especially incesticide. I wish I still had that album

Sublime Robbin' the Hood was my shit in 10th and 11th grade. Any Sublime album, really.

Dr. Dre's The Chronic 2001 was basically my 9th grade anthem.

there are so many albums that make me feel nostalgic. I could be here all night if I listed them all.

 

Sublime is definitely nostalgic but I didn't really get into them until much later. Nirvana reminds me of elementary/middle school but I didn't really listen to a full album until I was an adult.

 

If you're talking about childhood meaning 12 or younger and before you discovered music for yourself I'd have to say this.

If you're talking about your teenage years this:

For college the three albums I remember:

Lovers Live- Sade
A Rush of Blood to the Head- Coldplay
Rock n Roll Pt. 1- Ryan Adams
Nellie Mckay- Get Away From Me (I think that's what it was called)
Joydrop- whatever the name of the album was

 

Yeah before I had my own radio and started going to the music store in the mall I think the albums would've all been Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson and maybe Prince.

 

Before I really developed my own taste in music I was all about Mariah Carey, TLC, Brandy, etc. I also remember begging my mom to buy me Hootie and the Blowfish's Cracked Rearview lol. Oh yeah, and Ace of Base..i was obsessedd with their first album.

then i discovered silverchair lol, which led me to Nirvana, and music was never the same again.

 

OMG. Ace of Base! I feel like I may have an Ace of Base album for sure I had to dance to lots of their songs.
