The feeling doesn't change....dedicated to old favourites.

The first notes of Everything Went Black-Black Flag
and of
How Could Hell Be Any Worse - Bad Religion
and
Punk-o-Rama, origonal - Epitaph Records
still make me bounce after the years.

And I still get choked up listening to Nirvana- Unplugged. I'll admit it.

What music do you listen to from the early days of youth that haven't been relegated to the nastalgia wagon?

That haven't been relegated to nostalgia...hmmm...g ood question.

I'll go with Nirvana as well. I'll have to think about other answers.

Off the top of my head: Usher. I know he's *so* mainstream but he's been such a mainstay of music ever since I was young, so he's never really gone away from my playlists.

there are so many different artists and different types of music that are associated with my memories. but I would say probably the strongest are my memories of the music I was brought up on, oldies (early rock n' roll). stuff like Elvis, early Beatles, motown, Righteous Brothers, Beach Boys, Neil Diamond, Creedence Clearwater Revival...basically rock n' roll ranging from the late
50's to the late 60's

some of the many songs I especially remember are

Mrs. Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel
Classical Gas by Mason Williams
Time Of The Season by The Zombies
Just Dropped In by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition

man I was lucky to have parents who were in their prime during the 60's.

i dunno if this really applies... A few years ago (maybe 3, 4 now) I was in high-school, and pretty new to the whole "drug" thing. I decided I was going to eat some mushrooms (i posted this hear wayyyy back) with my best friend at the time. So the day came, the mushrooms were fuckin spreading through the school like wildfire. Homeboy came and dropped me off 5 grams or so WHILE I WAS IN CLASS. It was awesome, I'd never seen/smelled such disgusting shit in my life.

I get home, call my buddy up and... He backs out, like a total puss (we weren't friends for much longer). So, I thought... "Fuck it", it was a friday night and there were no parties going on. I ate all 5 grams of mushrooms. I had downloaded the then new "The Campfire Headphase" by Boards of Canada. Yadda yadda yadda, the mushrooms kicked in, I popped on my stereo headphones, hit play on the pod and went for a stroll.

I swear to god I'd never experienced music in the way I did that day. The album is forever ingrained in my memory; whenever I hear it it sounds "fresh". I cannot explain. My fervor for the group and specifically that album has never wained. I dunno. I feel like the album has some kind of crazy significance to me... but yeah it still sounds just as new as the day I heard it, and I damn near snap my neck every time I listen to it...

I shit my pants when a song off that album was picked for some car-commercial that aired on (inter?)national tv... Still totally fresh.

BoC is amazingly cinematic. It saddens me to know that there are people out there who cannot appreciate BoC's music. Roygbiv FTMFW!

as for me it is more songs from my youth that will never grow old. or ones that I will spontaneously combust into mirth from memories of yesteryear such as:

What I got - Sublime - pretty much classic song for my high school existence
Rosa Parks - Outkast - useto listen to this on the schoolbus on a muthafuckin Walkman
Idioteque - Radiohead - got down to this with a special girl
My name is - Eminem - when this album dropped I was too young to be listening to Eminem. But i still did.
Can I getta - Jay Z - ha
