While perusing through my old CDs and vinyls today I came across three albums I have not listened to in years. The self titled Slipknot album, Vegas by The Crystal Method, and the second album by Choking Victim (which will remain unnamed). All three of these reminded me of high school, and the times I had with the people then. Both good, bad, and everything in between. After listening to them I realized how much I have changed, and how much I'm still the same. All the songs stirred up old feelings, and I can still remember what I was doing and what I was into when I first heard them. For example. I listened to the Slipknot album before every football game, wrestling match, and track meet. Tall can figure out when my buddies and myself listened to The Crystal Method album. The Choking Victim album was played all the time, be I out skating, tagging, raising hell, or just relaxing. It really is weird how much this music influenced me, and made me into the person I am today. I mean there were many other bands I listened to regularly, that had a profound impression on me, but these were three of the ones I had forgotten about until today. So I ask the question. What types of music influenced yall? Also what music brings back memories of a simpler time when all you had to worry about was high school, friends, and just living life without worrying about all the stuff related to being grown up?
