gridloreWinAmp is giving me a tour of my musical youth (right now Led Zep - The Song Remains the Same")
It's interesting the effect that the songs we like as teenagers have on us. My musical tastes have changed since I was 13 (I've gotten into the Dead, filk, more metal, The Who, BNL, etc..) but hearing something like Led Zep, or old Journey, or even select disco tunes brings an involuntary smile to my face. I imagine![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
isomeme gets the same thing from old Genesis and the like.
This isn't to say that I'm frozen in the late 70s and early 80s musically (one of my favorite songs right now is by Good Charlotte, fer Pete's sake!) but I think that there is something about that age, the early and mid-teenage years, that is particularly open to music. We make it ours, since our parents don't tend to get it. So the songs become our anthems, our themes.
Must headbang to KISS now. Which my parents so didn't get...
