Lifestages

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Another poll on a familiar theme. Obviously most here people will not be able to answer all the questions. Use the comments box to i. gasp at what other people say ii. explain yr choices if you like iii. muse generally on the changing place of music in your life iv. suggest more sensible staging points than the tyrrannous 5 year gap I have imposed here...

[Poll #1044379]

Introspective? Moi?

(oh and also I am using "song" to mean "piece of music", because I am lazy. "means a lot" can mean whatever you want it to - different things for different questions I'm guessing)

>> A song that meant a lot to me when I was 10:
> Apache - the Shadows

Because the coolest things in my parents record collection were Shadows and Beatles LPs, and Shadows tunes were easier to learn when you're 10.

>> A song that meant a lot to me when I was 15:
> Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Because I became much better at the guitar and we used to play this in our band at the time.

>> A song that meant a lot to me when I was 20:
> Groove is in the Heart - Deee-Lite

Because it's one of the songs I used to dance to at university parties.

>> A song that meant a lot to me when I was 25:
> Cosmic Debris - Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

Because by this point I'd watched the BBC2 FZ documentary and started getting into his musics, which are widely varying in style and generally quite interesting.

>> A song that meant a lot to me when I was 30:
> Ray of Light - Madonna

Because it reminds me of moving to London and sharing an office with a couple of guys.

>> A song that meant a lot to me when I was 35:
> Take This Job And Shove It - Dead Kennedys

Because I was playing DKs all day long on my last day when I got made redundant.

>> A song that means a lot to me now:
> Fvck Was I - Jenny Owen Youngs

Because it's a cool song by an artist I found when she was supporting Aimee Mann.
