music you can't listen to anymore

[Block]

I don't know about all of you guys, but music has always played a crucial part in my life. As such, there has been bands and songs that have gotten me through rough times, or just remind me of younger days. Naturally, there are those which I have a hard time listening to because of this fact. I'll list them. You guys can list yours if you have any..

Blue October - Specifically the song "18th floor balcony" - Amazing band with an amazing sound but an ex ruined it for me after dedicating that song.

Coldplay - Same story as Blue October. Still love them, but it's hard.

Taking Back Sunday - I can listen to these guys, it's just hard because I get a huge nostalgic feeling about my younger days and the shit that went on.

Old Eminem - Same as TBS.

The Grateful dead - Reminds me of my childhood. These guys were my father's favorite band before he passed. I hear them alot when I go to my uncle's house. It's hard to listen to them.

"Gimme the loot" by biggie - Reminds me of a close friend that passed.

How about you guys?

Nas for these reasons.

Old Em/Dre/Xzibit/Snoop for the nostalgic reasons as well, but I still listen to it daily. Kinda saddens me at times.

Uhh who else...B.o.B's album that dropped last year. That shit dropped when my ex and I were starting to grow into a real couple and every song just reminds me of her which is sad as fuck.

That's all I can think of right now, great thread btw Deserves better than backstage.

I was debating on where to put it where it would get seen the most. I wasn't really sure, honestly. I thought about HHD but it's more of an 'everything' thread and not just hip hop.

And I feel you about the BOB album. Although, for me, it's that song "kiss me through the phone" by none other than soulja boy. Not that I listened to it ( ) but my ex had it as her ringtong forEVER and it reminds me of her every time I hear it.

[Maybe]

Chicago - Reminds me of my uncle that passed away. Every time I hear "Look Away" I get an overwhelming sad feeling.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - My favorite childhood band. Every song reminds me of the friends I had and have forgotten, the life I lived and died, but most of all, the family I loved and lost.

Old Eminem Music - Reminds me of a lot of bad things I was involved in.

[Xray]

Maybe I'm from a different planet but, I love songs that give you that nostalgia feeling, it makes the song even better, but maybe that's just me. So I can't contribute in that sense, but...

Jay-Z however, I can't be bothered listening to anymore. Along with several other rappers that I have grown interest out of because their time is over, rappers like Redman, Dead Prez, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Rakim, Kool G Rap, DMX, LOX, Biggie (ironically), Tupac (ironically) and some others that I can't remember atm. There's probably a good 10+ rappers I missed.

I stopped listening to them because I bumped them too much I think, but the most important reason is because so it doesn't interact with my sound as an artist. That's pretty much my main reason why I stopped listening to them. I love them all, don't get me wrong, but that's the problem, they influence my sound just too much, and it makes it hard for me to focus on the future when all I'm listening to is the past, you feel me? There are some occasional days where I feel like worshipping them.

Funny how Big L and Big Pun are still in my playlist though, probably because they influence me beyond my imagination, so I can't let them go. Respect to all those rappers.

^^ yeah, you're coming from a different angle than I was. I feel you on the whole "fucking withyour sound" too. I thought I was past that phase until just recently I was listening to a lot of some old school shit and I found that it was fucking with the way I was writing.

For real, it does show in your music. It's like your mind is listening to the older stuff you listened to and it kind of automatically takes you a couple steps back to what you were back then.

Shit, that is so true aswell because whoever an artist listenened to, you at first define your style from as you begin as a artist and even nowadyas i hear a great Hip-Hop track and i think i wanna do something in this style/concept.

Recovery as an entirety is the most nostalgic album for me. I honestly, don't have any connection with any other Em album besides that one and I've been down with Em since 2008. Relapse didn't have the impact Recovery had and I just didn't listen to it at any memorable time/place in my life.

Songs like Cinderella Man, Going Through Changes and You're Never Over make wanna let out a tear of joy. This is probably why I defend Recovery to the core as much as I can. This album is like a brother to me and probably what TES/MMLP/SSLP means to the next guy.

inb4 Recovery sucks or you're another of the new teeny-bopper Eminem fans.

[One Mic]

^ Recovery was the soundtrack to my summer 2010 tbh, and I had a great summer.

I hear that, each Em album for me though has nostalgic value.

SSLP - reminds me of being really little, when money wasn't very disposable in my life and songs on that album and from that era like Forgot About Dre are held very close to my heart.

MMLP - also reminds me of being relatively young, but conscious enough to understand what is going on. I remember I used to recite songs from it to school mates on the playground cuz it was 'dope' lol I was undoubtedly the first kid in my grade to fluently swear in and outside of class.

I remember in the fourth grade at lunch, we would discuss Devil's Night lol

TES - along with 8 Mile, just...rap was HUGE in my life and all my friends were into Eminem by then. There'd be a group of maybe 10 best friends and we'd be discussing rap like hardcore and shit like that.

Encore - that was just a weird time...shit with MJ all over the news, I was 12 or 13 I think and my view on the world was a lot more...conscious.

Relapse - as Stannish as this sounds, this song came at the perfect time in my life. A distressed teen who was going through depressive times full of anger and absolute rage, this album was perfect. It helped set me back straight and come back to my wits, it was 'my returning' back to normal.

Recovery - 2010 was the best year I lived in sooo long, just an amazing year and this album holds TONS of nostalgic value. Fuck, every song reminds me of something which makes me happy and sad, just because I'm grateful for being able to have lived through that year the way I did.

Wow...that was random

I agree 100% with Recovery.

[_Steven_]

Common - The Light (Ex Girlfriend)
Jurassic 5 - Thing Line (Ex Girlfriend)

I haven't listened to License To Ill (The Album) by the Beastie Boys in a long time but I imagine it would be hard to today since me and my dad bonded over that album when I was a kid. I loved every song.

[christalgurl]

I used to think Over by Drake was pretty good... then Despicable came out

I cant listen to Over anymore.

I totally agree. I had that song on a CD, and I just have to skip it because I'm thinking how much better Eminem did the whole time.

lulz @ this rookie Eminem fan saying Recovery is nostalgic to him cause his cherry only recently got popped. Now that I know this. Anything you say from now on about Eminem is invalid, it was already like that, but it just got that big ass bump. Fuck with me.

[Satire]

Em's shit is more overplayed to me than it is nostalgic. When I first became a fan, I would always get stuck on a phase for a specific Em song and play the fuck out of it for like 2 weeks. I've memorized the lyrics to almost all of his discography. Now, I literally can't listen to any of his old shit for a long period of time... I lose interest half way through a song and stop paying attention .

The only Em songs still on my rotation:
Seduction
Cinderella Man
Deja Vu
Drug Ballad
Stan (This will NEVER get old.)
Stay Wide Awake
If I Get Locked Up Tonight

You're Never Over make wanna let out a tear of joy
