R.E.M. - Monster
This album was released in 1994 and it takes me right back to my childhood. My mom had this album on what seemed like constant rotation. I have a memory that goes along with each song, some good and some not so good. My favourite song off the
Monster, "Strange Currencies," always makes me think of being in a tent at summer camp in the late 90's. More specifically, it brings back a memory of a pillow fight that was happening in the tent. The music was being played outside by the councellors who were all in their late teens/early twenties, so in the right demographic for REM music at that time.
Monster will always have a special place in my heart because it takes me back to a time where I was carefree and had really no responsibilities. Other music that was popular at that time also brings back memories, as well as music from earlier decades, but none of them make me feel as nostalgic as
Monster does.
