Well that one for a start. Or do I mean "ruined"?

Probably Tears for Fears or something. Hm.

First song that made me cry was Art Of Noise's "How To Kill"... I was 13 years old or so. I had to go through having my first pet dog be put to sleep... and anyone who's heard this song knows this is absolutely the *worst* song to play after such a tragedy.

As for recent life saving records, that would have to be Super Furry Animals' "Rings Around The World". This was the last new CD I got before I got laid off amongst a whole shitload of other things changing in my life. Blaring this record while going on a personal road trip, or just cleaning up around the house kept me sane through the dark, rainy days.

'24 Hour Party People' Soundtrack.

When I was younger, about 5 or so, my mother was really into new age music and thought it would be a good idea to play it while I fell asleep. Instead, it made me think of dead pets crying on people's front steps. There was one song in particular by Enya (sorry, I can't recall the title) that continued to haunt me in grade 6, when my teacher felt the need to put it in the stereo during our math work period.

a definite hope-giver/life-saver was 'the homosexual' by momus.

My life began at age 12 when I heard/saw the video for Fools Gold by The Stone Roses for the first time.

Oh shit, "Mad As Snow". wow, this deserves its own thread.

Must I Paint You A Picture - Billy Bragg...

sebadoh's 'bakesale' ... there's nothing like that disc when you're a moody teenager. and the songs are so basic you can learn them all on guitar in no time.

I think I was 15 by then, but "My Sister" by the Tindersticks haunted my every waking moment. Enough that I even believed it was true ...
