ha well the last one i can identify with at least, the rest aren't even in my library...
my 10,000 maniacs disc would be 'tigerlily'
simply due to certain circumstances related to it's listening (big life change/growth)

love that about music

Everyone needs a little Slim Whitman in their collection. I'll make a cd for ya! What? NO! It's not a drink coaster!

yeah I hear ya there, there are some albums that I can't even listen to anymore, but still cherish the memories they hold.

everyone needs slim... and marilyn manson, i tell ya wot...

there are some albums that I don't even listen to anymore, because of the memories they hold...

mostly relating to growing up (any "classic rock" )
and of course because of various gurlz... (brazilian music, poi dog pondering & beautiful south, belly & jeff buckley, certain house music and rap...)

off the top of my itunes browsing lightly
