Oh! This is fantastic this thread coming now!

Yesterday I went to SoundCloud, and saw the playlists generated by SoundCloud by year. I listened to the playlist for 2016. Yeeeep from way back! It's one of my favourite pieces of music :

Ooo... I have 2 good albums for this one! My mom listened to these every day when she took me to school in 3rd grade. 8-9 years later, I still (somehow) know most of them by heart.

Some Nights, fun.

Nice, Oscar! 🙌

That's a fun. memory to share with your mom. Does she have any favorite tunes from each album or just play it through the whole way?

She doesn't listen to Some Nights anymore, but when she listens to 1989, she plays it all the way through :).

Oh heck yeah! I'm digging the Flavor Trip house set... someone shared this couple a few weeks back and I really like what they're doing. Also, I just wanna hang out with the two of them haha. They're always making fantastic food, they're place looks lovely, and they seem like fun, haha!

Also, good suggestions with the 80's and 90's mixes. 🙌 I can't seem to get the 90's one to work by me (maybe I need to bust out the VPN later haha), but I love all the bands mentioned!

Wow! I really like this, Renan.

I know their name is Natiruts Reggae Power but this feels different than reggae to me. It seems like it has a really latin vibe to it and I mean I know that makes sense because the Carribean and Latin music mix a lot... anyway all this for me to say, I don't know what type of music this is but I like it. What do you call this genre?

Hey my friend, sorry to be late!

Their name is just "Natiruts". “Reggae Power” is one of their most famous songs (It’s very good)!

Their genre is "Reggae" and "Pop". But their reggae is not "calm music", it's "personalized reggae", more lively, something more for you to dance to and feel good!

This album was filmed in Rio de Janeiro, for me is the best one! and you can see in the video the Cristo Redentor (One of the nine wonders of the world).

When you have some time, listen and see the full album: Natiruts - Rio de Janeiro. I think you'll like it!

Oh right on, Dan! Are y'all picking out a song for a first dance? Curious if you'd be down to share that.

Haven't picked out a first dance song yet. However, here's the playlist so far:
music.apple.com/us/playlist/weddin...

If you're not on Apple Music, you should still be able to view the tracks. ("Three Little Birds" is on there twice. We're entering to the cover version and exiting to the original Bob Marley version.)

So, I saw this video over the weekend where a dude builds a breath from scratch in the style of a 1995 Bad Boy Records hip hop song. It definitely got me notalgic for the music from that era.

Here's the video I saw:

On a similar note, this video from a month ago by Digging the Greats about music on Nickelodeon in the 90's got me super nostalgic for my childhood. Enjoy!

Oooo I like this one, Keith! Cool memory too... you just jogged mine about what my friends and I listened to in high school.

I remember a few buddies of mine and me listening to Sublime until the CD was so covered in scratches. It was the time of Kazaa and Napster, so I'm sure it was a burned one. Haha, good times being a punk teenager!

High school for me was more tapes than CDs, but it’s funny how certain songs will put you right back in those days. Sublime was college (the semester I was there 😂), but they were in constant rotation too!

When I worked in my first game industry job in the early aughts, there was this MP3 going around that was a pastiche of dozens of entertainment media samples, everything from Ren and Stimpy samples to the "Finish the Game" sample from Tron that gave it its (unofficial) name. Legend had it that it came to us from somewhere inside EA, but I've never managed to find out who made the thing. I preserved a copy on Sound Cloud, though.
