Memories

It's the bad memories that let you treasure the good memories even more, besides I like being a miserable old git sometimes

A lot of crappy late-90s pop brings back memories of sitting in a taxi on the way to school every morning. Not bad memories exactly, just very boring ones

I have this phobia that I'll be playing Born To Run and get pulled over for playing the stereo too loud. I'm not concerned about the ticket so much as the album being ruined for me.

I agree with that, but sometimes the bad memories are just so unpleasant and they're so strongly associated with a given album that it's pretty much unbearable. I don't really have a problem with albums that helped me through crummy times, because at least I know they have some theraputic value. The albums that just seem to drag me back to a bad time and leave me...well, those are the ones I can't play.

You've just described my experiences with Brothers In Arms, except it was a regular bus and not a taxi. Come to think of it, I wore down dozens of cassettes on the bus ride to school.
