An album for your year...

Some one asked me what songs would be on an album to remind me of this year and why so I thought i'd ask you lot too!!

Mine would be;

Ice cube - You can do it
Fatman Scoop - Be Faithful
These 2 were just generally a big feature this summer for the cruisin crew (dont ask lol) and when I was going out at home and at Tokyo Jos

Ultrabeat - Pretty Green eyes (official cruisin crew song)

Cindy Lauper - Girls just wanna have fun
Blasted this out of the window as we drove off Southport beach and everyone was staring at us 4 nutters in this battered little fiesta!

Wayne Wonder - No letting go
This was THE song when we went on holiday to Zante that was just coming out

Goldfinger - 99 red balloons
We kept playing this to annoy the lads in the apartment next door on holiday and it was the first song me and Hannah danced to in a club in Preston called Quinceys

Feeder - We cant rewind
Favorite Feeder song and we went to see them in February!

Black eyed Peas - Where is the love?
Because you cant actually escape from it and it was on constantly in Freshers week

Reef - Place your hands
Played every week in my local in Widnes

Cha cha song or whatever its called
No-one seemed to know it when we came to uni so me and Hannah taught it to everyone in our flats, got played a trillion times on the K3 (Krazyhouse) on my Birthday aswell!

Im sure i'll think of more!! So what would yours be??

Ethan You Rasclart!

Ohh, good idea.

Hmm for starters I'd prolly have Perfection Through Silence by Finch as my award of 'Most Overplayed Song of the Year

It meant quite a lot for me for a while too.

Eat You Alive by Limp Bizkit to remind me of the ace time at their gig in Finsbury Park.

Something that has had so much meaning purely in the title would be Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n Roses.

I'll think of more, but it's 5am and I need sleep lol.

Wiggy Talk to me dufus

For me this year the two albums have got to be "sing the sorrow" by AFI and "I am the movie" by motion city soundtrack.

Oh yeah, and "kings of pop" by homegrown didn't escape my cd player for quite a while either.

I'll be irredeemably mainstream and plumb for the White Stripes' Elephant, for the endlessly hummable "Seven Nation Army" if nothing else!

Lol! Isn't it funny how some people read a thread title put not the thread...

OK, I'll admit that when I saw the title I thought, hmmm, what is my favourite album for this year? So, if you want the thread on topic, Eve, you might want to change the title to some like, Album of Your Year, or something.

OK, here's my effort:

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again [Just because...

]
Foo Fighters - The One [Lyrically apt]
Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug [I have my reasons]
Linkin Park - Don't Stay [Restarted my love affair with LP]
Magnetic Fields - All My Little Words [It got played a lot...]
Cast of Rocky Horror Show - Sweet Transvestite [Because he was .. twice]
Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage [Two gigs, only saw them second time...]
Erasure - Sometimes [Another gig, but happier memories this time]
Doves - Catch The Sun [Memories of Reading Festival]
The Music - Getaway [The Going out song of '03]
Depeche Mode - Shine [My Theme for '03 .. ok and most years...]
Jimmy Eat World - A Praise Chorus [because it's where I am now]

Oh and :month:

for the heck of it!

Eve "There's no secret handshake. There's an IQ prerequisite, but there's no secret handshake"

Changed it, thought of a couple of new ones;

Linkin Park - Numb
( dont know why just loved it)

Will Young- Leave right now

hehe ITS GOOD!

Evanescence- My immortal
(loved it when I got the album and its just my song for when i'm feeling all crappy)

PictureOfFlowers "When things are at their darkest, it's a brave man that can kick back and party." - Lt. Tuck Pendleton, Innerspace

I'll probably keep on remembering things that I should have included in this list, but if I feel the need to add to it later then so be it.

The Darkness - Growing On Me
The one band that just had to be included cos they've played a very big musical part in my year. And it had to be this song cos of one very cool night in a club.

Linkin Park - In the End
Although I've listened to Meteora more than Hybrid Theory this year, I picked this song because I still have a very vivid memory of jumping up and down to it at the Brixton Academy on my birthday.

Marilyn Manson - mObscene
Another very cool jumping up and down song. It just plain rocks!
Electric Six - Gay Bar
The source of so much amusement!

Manic Street Preachers - Stay Beautiful
I wanted to include loads of Manics tracks, but narrowed it down to this one.
'A' - I Love Lake Tahoe
Fantastic song. And when 'A' were on at the Limp Bizkit gig it was this song that made me very hastily make my excuses and sprint towards the mosh-pit.

The Ataris - The Last Song I Will Ever Write About a Girl
The White Stripes - Fell in Love With a Girl
These 2 songs tend to get played on repeat whenever I need them...
April March - Chick Habit
Really upbeat and poppy and just plain funky. Always makes me smile.
Evanessence - Bring Me To Life
Memories of dancing to this at the Summer Party. Class tune.
Suede - Animal Nitrate
I really fell in love with Brett Anderson's voice after hearing this. And despite being on my album of 2003 it's part of my lament that I was born about 10 years too late.

Hmmmm... one thing I thought whilst compiling this is that either there haven't been that many songs this year that remind me of a specific time/place/person/event or my memory's just getting worse... I suspect the latter.

Y'wooooops!

I can't think of an album, but Travis's "The Beautiful Occupation" seems apt, not least because I saw it performed live at one of the anti-war demos, and boy was it an improvement on the previous parade of fossilised Labour grandees and drunken Stalinists.

(The less said about the album in general and "Peace the [beep] Out" in particular the better!)
