This is a personal entry: Music has always meant the world to me, lately I’ve been lost in thought about certain albums, songs, memories that have defined what my teen years were like, I haven’t really thought much about my teen years in awhile, but I recently started thinking about all of the memories, the good and bad, and how the music was always there, from moving around place to place, feeling lost, in search of myself, finding art, finding an escape, the music was always there, through and through, always there. I wanted to just sit here for awhile and put together a list of albums that I found my way to during those times, I love all these albums, they all have a story to tell, a memory to share. So, as usual, I’ve included my 3 favorite songs from each album on this list. So here is part one of two entries, I found my way to these albums between age 13 to 19, 1997 to 2004, this list has taken me a very long time to compile, so many memories.
Enjoy.
