sorta OT: albums you listen to a certain times of the year or remind you of certain times of the year?

this is sorta OT because your answers could be stones related. what albums do you listen to at certain times of the year or certain days of the year or remind you of a certain time of the year?

a few of mine:
-ugly kid joe. i always listen to one of their albums on the ride home from work the day i start my week long vacation

- the kinks- to the bone. i like to listen to this album on a late september/early october sunday afternoon. no clue why but it feels like that is when it should be played.

-the doors- waiting for the sun. i always listen to this album after labor day. in the USA labor say is considered the unofficial end of summer and i guess it had to do with the song "summers almost gone" being on this album.

-dwight yoakam- reprise please baby boxset. i like to listen to this boxset the week of thanksgiving. no clue why

- john mellen camp- on the rural route 7609. this looks like its going to be my go to listen on hot summer nights. has that feel to the music that reminds you of hot summer nights

i wasn't trying to imply i don't listen the albums i listed at other times during the year but i make sure at specific times of the year i do bust them out in case i overlooked them all year.

I don't really have a time of year that I listen to albums, but I do associate an album to the time of year or where I was at when I first got into it.

For instance, Goats Head Soup will always remind me of summer, because that's when I started listening to it seriously.

Songs in the Key of Life will forever remind me of freshman year of college, I wore it out in my dorm room and you could hear it everywhere on campus.

This time of year..."best of lighting seeds like you do"
Reminds me of summers of early 90s

Superb music lol

My last year of college was the year of Bridge Over Troubled Water - dinner with my six friends who shared a house round the corner from my bedsit, who didn't own much in the way of pop music, but they did own that and played it endlessly. No idea what the neighbours thought of Cecilia shaking the walls, but I love it to this day.

That's funny Green Lady, because, being a bit younger than you, my place and time for that album is all about my little girl crush on my friend's older brother. I used to go over to Melissa's house just so I could see her dreamy brother who also played that album endlessly. Music and memories certainly go together...

I like the idea that the faithless Cecilia in the song is Cecilia-the-muse-of-music, with you at one moment and off with some other guy the next.

Some Girls & Tattoo You & Emotional Rescue...SUMMER!

Good thread---

'Exile' is always Summer listening for me-- got it during the hot summer it came out and I always identify it with the dog days of Summer

Beatles White Album around Christmas, because I got it as a Christmas gift back in 1968 and even though it was recorded during the spring and summer of '68 it always has a winter feel to it for me

Beach Boys 'Pet Sounds" always kicks off the summer in our house--Memorial Day Weekend-- don't know why but its a tradition

Abbey Road on a Sunday. Nice post.

I often listen to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (the song, not the entire album) on the last day of summer holidays before going to bed.

I listen to Hank Williams a lot when on Manitoulin Island vacationing in the summer, it just seems to fit the scenery.

Cool topic

Rod Stewart Every Picture Tells A Story ( Maggie May ) - on Labor Day.

Wake up maggie I think I got something to say to you
Its late september and I really should be back at school

Rolling Stones Goats Head Soup ( Winter ) - around the Xmas holiday season

Yeah, and I wish I'd been out in Stony Canyon
When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle
And the restoration plays have all gone 'round

Yes Fragile ( Southside Of The Sky ) - During a snow storm

The moments seemed lost in all the noise A snow storm, a stimulating voice Of warmth of the sky, of warmth when you die

Get Yer Ya Ya's Out a very cold and clear blue sky in January.........

For those of you in the US... What's up with this weather ????????

Always flash backs to the brilliant summer of '78 with Some Girls of course.........

A good side of music for a summer night, particularly when it's dark and windy.

Due to my friends playing these Stones albums Love You Live, Some Girls and Emotional Rescue have always been summertime albums to me.

The Cult's Sonic Temple was a spring and summer album.

U2's Achtung Baby is a fantastic winter album.

The Band - The Band (the Brown Album), I usually listen to this more during the autumn. The songs just seem to have a sound/feeling that reminds me of & captures the soul of the season in upper state New York, (I live not far away in Southern Ontario). This is kind of strange considering this album was recorded in Sammy Davis Jr. pool house in Los Angeles duting the summer.

Very hot here on the eastern seaboard, too. But, thunderstorms are coming to cool things off...

tattoo you - summer
exile - autumn
sticky fingers - winter
get yer ya-ya's out - spring (especially the first day it's warm enough to open your windows and blast the stereo)

let it bleed - always (remember to play it loud)

Ronnie Lane's music in general, and One For The Road in particular, are for playing on long hot summer evenings.

James Brown and JB Horns records on summer time.

Bob Dylan, Jayhawks in autumn.

I agree on all 3...but nothing beats Tattoo You on a nice summer's day...Side 1 at sunrise to get you revved up and going....Side 2 during a gorgeous sunset while sitting on a lawn chair with a beer in hand...

I haven't listened to Emotional Rescue in quite some time...I think the last time I even heard the song itself, was last month at the Toronto 2 show. Yeah, I know I'm bragging.

OK, it's decided, when the family finally wakes up I'm blasting ER!

BTW, in university I always found side 2 Tattoo You the most sympathetic hangover soundtrack...when I finally got it on CD I could program the songs to keep repeating, instead of picking myself up to put the needle back to Worried About You.
