Going back and listening to a bunch of songs from various years had me thinking of the year itself, and everything that was going on during the time i listened to that particular song, or those particular songs. So i figured i'd share mine and see what everyone else has associated with their favourite, worst or most memorable years, the song can be tied to a special moment, time of struggle or even just a random walk or drive you had.
I went back and listened to a bunch of songs i listened to from 2017 so my list would be:
1. Seal The Deal - Volbeat
- I started listening to this song around the start of the year, i remember listening to it while trying to figure out University enrolments and stalking every wrestling website to see if there was any news about Luke Harper's push and position going into WrestleMania 33.
2. Rooster - Alice In Chains
- It took me a while to ever listen to this song, i had 'Would?' and 'Them Bones' for a couple months before i finally decided to just listen to Rooster, the slow start grew on me but the thing that caught me was the solo in the middle of the song. I was working as a delivery driver and this song playing in the car during rainy nights followed by my next song, makes me think of how easy my job was and how enjoyable it was at the time.
3. Spiders - System Of A Down
- Like the case with Rooster, i was already familiar with System as i loved them in 2015, so now i decided to listen to more of them again and that's where Spiders came in, something about the whole song made it my favourite SOAD song fast, and i'd always queue after Rooster on my drives so those 2 will always be associated together for me.
4. Generation Idiot - Nonpoint
- Always been a fan of Nonpoint since SVR 2007, and gave this song a look during the middle of last year (About August) and though the song is great, the time was crap. My job was becoming miserable because of another employee and i wasn't getting many hours, so this song as well as the next ones i'll list, were kind of my way of coping with it. I'd be driving and have this (and the next 3) playing and it would ease off the stress until i got back (and got blamed for things i didn't do lol)
5. Curl Of The Burl, All The Heavy Lifting & Dry Bone Valley - Mastodon
- These 3 songs were my first introduction to Mastodon and though they're kind of the themes for a crap time, they're still great and love listening to them. Like 'Generation Idiot', these 3 songs were also queued and they helped ease stress and forget about what was happening at the time.
6. Doomsday - Architects
- At the time, i'd never heard of Architects so when i saw them suggested on YouTube i gave it a listen, i liked it enough to buy it and it became the theme for my workouts during September/October. Though that was a good time, shortly after i got real sick for about a week and a half and this song, as well as some others were all i listened to during that time so they remind me of how annoying that week was.
7. Wither & Straight Out The Gate - Tech N9ne
- First heard Straight Out The Gate on WWE 2K18, i'm not the biggest fan of rap but was already a fan of this song since it had Serj Tankian featured in it. So listening to it on Youtube and finding out he also had a song featuring Corey Taylor, i had to listen and loved it. Both these songs are great and especially love listening to Wither but these were right in the middle of me being sick and i remember hating them at the time cause they were stuck in my head. Another song during this time, not a big fan of him, but i got addicted to Post Malone's 'Congratulations'. So a small part of me still has a little bit of hate to those 3 songs and my SH Figuarts SDCC 2015 Goku because they were all stuck in my head causing many sleepless nights.
They would be the main songs from that year, there's plenty more but i'd be here forever, so here's just a small list of them:
Aleister Black's theme
Sugar Man - Yolanda Be Cool & DCup
Never gonna Stop & Feel So Numb - Rob zombie
SOAD's 'Steal This Album'
Move your Body (Single Mix), Elastic Heart, Alive, Unstoppable, Reaper & Buttons - Sia
What's all your year defining songs? For whatever year you want, put a list of them and maybe other people will have similar.
