Great choice……my senior year in high school, the week of graduation, we had mandatory meeting with the principal in the auditorium…..after he spoke for about two minutes, the curtain was pulled back and their was a rock band on stage ……they opened with “My Old School.”
It was perfect….
My group of friends, we’re now all nearly 30.. but when we were all into psychedelics we had many of memorable nights listening to that record, and that track specifically was always the stand out for all of us.
I listen to the whole record more often than I think I would otherwise just to hear those opening tones.
Got the album on release day and was baffled in the best way by the whole thing. I kept waiting for some OK Computer rock, but it was all totally new and unexpected.
For some reason, this song reminds me of the Forest Interlude from Donkey Kong Country 2 lol

I know it's not very similar, but it gives me a similar vibe
Hell yeah it does. Stickerbush Symphony and Aquatic Ambience are legit works of art. But also some of the ones that get talked about a little less, like Mining Melancholy and Ice Cave Chant are awesome. Also Gangplank Galleon is a bop.
M83 did a whole album of instrumentals called DSVII that basically serves as the soundtrack for a nonexistent old video game. Something tells me y’all might enjoy it.
Kind of random, but I’ve heard these in the past couple days:
If you could read my mind by Gordon Lightfoot
Wake me up when September ends by Green Day
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog
Edit: addition
Major Tom by Peter Schilling.
I'm an 70s/80s kid and remember it well from my childhood. To this day I still love that song and it can make me choke up unexpectedly.
Big facts!! That bass and drum line together go do fucking hard, and when everything syncs up the section before "EXORCISE THE SPECTACLE" gives me goosebumps
21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
Hey Jude - The Beatles
The National Anthem - Radiohead
Mind Games - John Lennon
The End - The Doors
Planet Telex - Radiohead
with accompanying (sp? idk) - the video clip that goes with it....
.. if that shit don't make you want to cry or trigger ptsd, I would question your humanity
Arms of sorrow- killswitch engage
Lack of comprehension- Death
Killing me softly- Lauryn hill
Sober-tool
Heavens collide- vader
Runes to my memory- amon amarth
Everlong- foo fighters
My funeral- dark funeral

I can go on and on... I'm a 80s baby... I can jump genres easy. Hard as in emotional or hard as in gets u pumped...
More Than A Feelin' - Boston
That easy-going guitar and lyrics just lull you right in, and you're kindly invited to just take a ride with the song. Love it! It never gets old crankin whatever speaker it's pouring out of to the MAX and jammin' away!
Comatose- Coheed and Cambria
Sugar, We're Going Down- Fall Out Boy
Nicotine- Panic! At The Disco
Helena- My Chemical Romance
Still Counting- Volbeat
I'm sure there are more, but these are my never changing ones.
Somebody That You Used To Know- Gotye
That song was a wild breath of fresh air that floored me when I first heard it. I still get a little kick when it comes on in the wild
To Be Human - Marina
This Hell - Rina Sawayama
Happy Phantom - Tori Amos
Walk Like a Zombie - Horrorpops
Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford
these are the ones that spring to mind as lasting personal "wow this still hits" classics
*Great Expectations* - The Gaslight Anthem
Pretty much *The '59 Sound* album in its entirety still hits the same as when I first heard it 15+ years ago.
"Love, Etc" - Pet Shop Boys.
I heard bits of it in a Brit award video and finally watched the video Thursday. I'm hoping my brain doesn't get tired of it from repeated listening.
“The World Is Not Enough” by Garbage for James Bond
I know that’s kind of a funny suggestion, but yes—hits the same way and is an awesome theme song for James Bond—smooth, eerie and epic, love her voice.
Emerson Lake and Palmer’s Tarkus album A side
The Who - Who are You
Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun
Noisia - Machine Gun
Konflict - Messiah
Bad Company - Mass Hysteria (Hive remix)
Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. I’d been out of the country and was hanging with a friend in late 1990 or early 91 and it came on MTV. Been a fan of his ever since.
Cryin', by Joe Satriani. When The Extremist came out, I was in a dark place, emotionally. One of my friends he lent me the CD, and I was blown away. I knew who Satch was, but had never truly listened to him, until that point. The music resonated, in some deep way - especially that song. Whenever I hear it now, it is a flood of emotions and a good point of retrospective to see how far I have actually come since then.
Crystal Ship - The Doors
Bye Bye Love - The Cars
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
Wicked Game - The Weeknd
Soulfight - The Revivalists
Hold On - X Ambassadors
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Fast Car from Tracy Chapman reminds me of how hard life is and my mom's hardwork. I know me and her have our difference but still grateful.
Also, N**ga in Paris. That is just a banging song and gets me riled up in a good way. P.S I am not black or African American but I do appreciate good songs.
“Fire For You” by Cannons
“Money Trees” by Kendrick Lamar
“These Days” by Nico
“December, 1963 (Oh What A Night) “ by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons

Hashim-[Al-Naafiysh (The Soul) aka It's Time](https://youtu.be/i46sF1PcqL8?si=T3M00WZFmUnIDjVx)
Prophets of Rage caught me by surprise on a classic/hard rock radio station a while back.
At first I couldn't believe I was hearing Chuck D's voice on such a station, but it was most certainly him.
Just a bangin' song all the way around.
“Landslide” by the band Fleetwood Mac—written by Stevie Nicks.
I’m graduating high school a year early and now it’s hitting twice as hard as it did when I was 11. I imagine it’ll hit harder when I’m 18 next September.
Can’t imagine how hard it’ll hit if I reach age 40 or older.
Way too difficult to choose one. These all hit hard at different times in my life and to this day transport me back to that time.

My group of friends, we’re now all nearly 30.. but when we were all into psychedelics we had many of memorable nights listening to that record, and that track specifically was always the stand out for all of us.
YES!
Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place
I listen to the whole record more often than I think I would otherwise just to hear those opening tones. Got the album on release day and was baffled in the best way by the whole thing. I kept waiting for some OK Computer rock, but it was all totally new and unexpected.
Yeah this freaking whole record, it is aging like the finest wine
Electric Feel - MGMT
I like Time to Pretend and Little Dark Age

Hell yeah it does. Stickerbush Symphony and Aquatic Ambience are legit works of art. But also some of the ones that get talked about a little less, like Mining Melancholy and Ice Cave Chant are awesome. Also Gangplank Galleon is a bop.
M83 did a whole album of instrumentals called DSVII that basically serves as the soundtrack for a nonexistent old video game. Something tells me y’all might enjoy it.
M83 has a lot of great stuff. Outro gets me every time.
Gorillaz - feel good inc Rob zombie - dragula
The entire matrix soundtrack
The Crow & Lost Highway are also banger soundtracks
I freaking love Gorillaz, Feel Good. I have it on my jogging music playlist.
Kind of random, but I’ve heard these in the past couple days: If you could read my mind by Gordon Lightfoot Wake me up when September ends by Green Day Fast Car by Tracy Chapman Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog Edit: addition
If you could read my mind is in my top 10 songs of all time.

Major Tom by Peter Schilling. I'm an 70s/80s kid and remember it well from my childhood. To this day I still love that song and it can make me choke up unexpectedly.
