Going through CDs - Which one(s) are your memory jerkers.

i got a roxi for christmas so everyday i add another few favourite songs to my playlist, its great to be able to listen to your favourite tracks rather than listen to a whole album with songs that maybe you are not so keen on, it also saves having to keep changing cds. reading this thread i realise there are still some i need to add. i have a very varied list, from classical to madonna to snow patrol

CDs weren't invented when I was a teenager!
Although I did have 45 rpm records.

Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd for me.

ELVIS, ELVIS AND MORE ELVIS!!!!

Tom Jones from the 60s when I was a teenager. Delilah followed me around Europe, first England, Italy the next summer and Greece the year after. I can associate each of his songs to a different boy, if only I could remember who they were.

So many songs from the 60s, so many memories, too many to mention.

PS what's a r oxi? Maybe I should get one.

Status Quo, The Doors, Roy Harper, Leonard Cohen, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson & more Bluesmen than time to mention. Love my music.

I love music,but not everybody else's when I'm out. I've got earphones to use whilst out. Hubby doesn't like music much but he puts up with mine for about an hour a day,as I don't want earphones in to often, due to my tinnitus.

Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, Neil Diamond. These are what take me back. They can all have me in tears at times.

I was lucky enough to see the Walker Brothers play live at the London Palladium in the 60's. But my forever favourites and memory jerkers have to be the Beatles. Saw them perform live twice, fell in love with Paul McCartney and every song brings back happy memories of my teens.

Anyone remember Jo Stafford? The lilt of her voice just made me melt every time.

Annifrance, a roxi is a music streaming device that plugs into your tv, there is a subscription but you get 1 years free with it. you can also do karioke with it

Big band music from the 1930s and 40s, Henry Hall, Joe Loss, Ambrose, Benny Goodman, Jack Hylton etc. Names which many Grandnetters have never heard of.!

Lettuce I had a terrible schoolgirl crush on Scott Walker. When I heard of his death last year from cancer I was so sad. I then started to listen to some of his old songs again. So moving. However his later years he was a solo artist and his real passion was avant garde music that I didnt really enjoy. However those old hits brought back so many memories. His change physically was astonishing - I know we all age differently but where did that floppy blond haired hunk go? Not a trace of what I fell in love with as a 14 year old teenager. Ho hum..

My neighbour’s most prized possession is a water bottle ( Evian) which Scott Walker left behind when he stayed in a hotel she was working in!

I like to sing along, so have lots of choral music and Gilbert and Sullivan which bring back memories of when I could breathe!

A Beach Boys track reminds me of my youth and summer and carefree times.

Scott Walker had a really special voice. I'll look out some YouTube videos this afternoon.
I went to Selsey for a holiday as a child which for some reason is the only one that I really remember. Everywhere we went the song Speedy Gonzales was playing. It's not something frequently played (for obvious reasons) but if I do hear it, it always brings memories back.
There are a lot of songs from the 60s onwards that I remember liking but none that really bring back anything that I particularly want to remember.

The Last Waltz, Englebert Humperdinck - Memories of a lovely evening with a man I loved but couldn't have.

Hey Jude, The Beatles - the first time I danced with the man I later married.

Morning has Broken - one of our wedding hymns

Been working my way through lots of old vinyl albums recently, so many memories.

It's LP's for me, I refuse to call them 'vinyl'. I still have a record player.

Leonard Cohen, when he returned to touring in 2008 (ish) I went to all his concerts in the UK but I have been a fan since my late teens. Tom Waits is another favourite, I also him live on one of his rare tours. They bring back wonderful memories.

The Beatles bring back memories of my last year at junior school. A happy time, with a kind teacher and good friends.

Gillyjp I too had a crush on The Walker Brothers.

Bijou - I remember those big bands too. Glad to hear from you.
My favourite - Glen Miller - Moonlight Serenade
