It's never too early (says the woman with a life sized skeleton that is a year round fixture in her living room…)

Watched the silent version of Phantom of the Opera and the 1932 version of the Mummy (love Karloff in this film btw). I have a soft spot for the Carl Laemmle era of the Universal Monsters. The films are gorgeous to look at and horror at its most atmospheric.

Yup. Had to hide the Black Flag album cover for "Slip it In" for years in fear that I'd have to face a lecture of outrage from my older relatives…

I've been anticipating this album for some time. If the"books" are any indication, its going to be a fun ride.

One of my college friends had a HIV scare and I remember driving around in his car with this song on his stereo. It's a really powerful song and one of those that brings back strong memories of how scary it was to be gay on both sides of the pond during the 80s

Yeah..but would it help you if I said, Al Green's Love and Happiness does make my "goosebump" list?

Because I don't want the world/ I just want your hat.

I'm not big on break up songs per se, but oh dear, Pearl Jam's "Black" always sends shivers up my spine, esp. the end when Eddie sings "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?

I always here that song in conjunction with "Billy, Don't be a Hero" for some reason.

One of the few good memories of this year is driving home from dinner late this summer, with my husband and son and Rock and Roll Suicide coming on. We all sang it together and my husband literally circled our block until the song was done.

Jolene is the Dolly Parton song that seems to get to me. Her vocals on that are just perfect

I Appear Missing got me through a really bad emotional time. I'm surprised that my CD still plays. I wish I could upvote this a dozen times

Or the full choir comes in on the chorus.

Atlantic City is my favorite song of his. Its one of the most poignant songs about the Garden State I've ever heard.

I'm going to be the outlier and say I really like both versions—they really demonstrate how a songs perspective can change with the age, situation and delivery of the singer. I actually saw NIN do Hurt live, and it was pretty damn powerful. And the Johnny Cash song just puts me into tears for a variety of reasons.

I live with a huge Sprinsteen fan and we joke that I must be the only person of my age group who grew up in NJ that can't stand Springsteen. But I have to say I do love Tom Joad and most of the cuts on Nebraska.

Paris 1919 is such a hidden gem in and of itself. I need to go back and listen to that again today.

Oh, Keep Me in Your Heart. My mother in law was dying of cancer. My sister in law set up a Skype session and my husband sang that to my Mother-In-Law. I had to leave the room I was crying so hard; it was their last time they ever talked. She passed away a day later. My husband still cries now when he hears that

Thank you—thought I was the only human being who held this opinion.
