Revisiting albums from your youth

To be fair, pop pickers I owe you nothing is one heck of a pop record. When will I be famous isn’t bad either.

Well I went back and listened and I’m sorry to say it did not wow me, whether that was because it’s a wet and windy Wednesday and maybe it would be better on a Friday or Saturday night I don’t know.

But not all hope was lost as from that I went on to revisit Popped in Souled Out by Wet Wet Wet as that was another album of my childhood and that has gone straight on to my playlist, proper pop music done brilliantly. So thank you OP you have brightened up my Wednesday night

I’ve just randomly listened to SOAD - Toxicity on Apple Music, probably my first run through for over 15 years.

Absolutely brilliant, brought back memories from my school days, but also the album is musically superb, and some of the lyrics really hit me as an adult which went over my head as an adolescent listening to it previously.

Anybody had any older stuff on lately that my ears might be grateful for a listen of?

That’s an absolutely outstanding album. Used to listen to that and The Eminem Show back to back on my Sony Walkman as a 12 year old. Know most of the lyrics off by heart still.
 
Watched 30 Century Man (again) the other day so have been listening to Scott, Scott 2 and Scott 3.

Luxuriating in his mesmerising baritone, dark existentialism and the incredible talent of Brel.

A bunch of albums turned 20 just recently and had me feeling nostalgic. HMV was still the place to go for music before streaming took over. I remember MTV2 being essential viewing on an early evening and they used to show a lot of great live performances.

QOTSA - Songs for the Deaf
Audioslave - Audioslave
Foo Fighters - One by One
Pearl Jam - Riot Act
The Libertines - Up the Bracket
 
I've found a new enjoyment for a lot of things i used to listen to and grew up with by getting it on vinyl. I'm a habitual skipper when i stream music - so this makes me listen to albums properly and yeah not every track is great on an album but quite often you miss good songs by sticking to the ones you like.

I used to run the rock night at the arena early 2000's so been revisiting my youth a bit of late.

Streaming has a lot to answer for in this respect

True, but I do prefer it massively over the model of buying cds for £14.vinyl is quite expensive to collect but I only get the ones I really want, and can play it first via streaming to make sure it's something I'd like.

I'm massively into synthwave bands like The Midnight & Fm-84, I've got a playlist I maintain of my favourite tracks and it's up to 600 tracks now. No way I'd have anything like that possible via physical media and love having it on random play.

To be honest I would skip tracks on cd as well.
