Any genre, anything. Tell the reason why they have the sentimental value too, but only if you want to.

A.F.I. - Silver And Cold

The person who got me into metal liked A.F.I. for some strange reason and this is my favourite song from the A.F.I. CD he lent me, before dragging me to his place and making me listen to black and death metal. Our 6 month anniversary was 2 days ago.

Slayer - Chemical Warfare

I remember jumping up and yelling "YEAH!" the first time I heard this song, this was when I only started getting into metal, less than a month after I took an interest in it. This was like the first song that did that, eventhough they have much more amazing songs, this was the one.

NIN - Head Like A Hole

Head like a rock
black as your sock

The first and only time I experimented with marijuana I sang this song.



Booya.

oh doesnt that line by NIN go
head like a hole black as your soul?

santana-black magic women
everytime i hear it, it makes me think of my father cause when i first started he would tell me like everyday to learn it, but i never did...

slayer-angel of death
when i heard it, it was a live version of it and i just sat their with my jaw hanging cause it was the fastest and heavist thing i had every heard before

metallica-master of puppets
first metal song i hear and learned, i remeber sitting there for hours trying to get the speed to play it and getting so pissed cause i coldnt. its funny looking back cause i can play it like 5x faster then they are easily

pretty much any oldie or country western song cause thats all me and my dad listend to when we drove from california up to maine (yes drove...) so it brings back memories of me and him and the open road ect

Death - Voice of the Soul
Do i need a reason?

Immolation - Christ's Cage
Pure evil. Makes my spine shiver.

Immolation - Here in After
Again, pure evil. It's like listening to Satan's thoughts put into music.

Dark Tranquillity- Lethe. The first death metal song I liked.

Death- 1000 eyes. First Death song I ever heard, and one of the best. Probably my favorite band as of right now too

Death- Voice of the Soul. Sounds like a song saying goodbye from Chuck, beautiful.

Cacophony- Speed metal symphony. First Becker song I had ever heard. This song was just totally perplexing at the time. Now it is my favorite instrumental of all time.

Michael Angelo- No Boundaries. The first shredding I had ever heard. This guy I met named Jessie who plays guitar, showed me the "speed kills" video and I felt like slapping myself in the face. I had gone 4 and a half years of guitar without knowing about shred.

Martyr- Warp Zone. Because I am listening to it right now. One of my first death metal songs. AND because I couldn't get it out of my head today

Jason Becker- Perpetual Burn album. Has moments in it that you just want to cry over

songs that move me to tears:
dissection - no dreams breed in breathless sleep. songs in a minor key are the only ones that have a chance at doing it.
dream theater - vacant. sad as fuck lyrics.
queen - we are the champions. this one reminds me of my mate and all the fun times we had together.

other sentimental ones
opeth - black rose immortal. my gf and me, its our song.
testament - down for life. same as queen, but doesnt make me cry, because it's heavier metal i guess.
pantera - suicide note part 1. the only time i experimented with cutting myself (to the point where i ended up in hospital) i thought of this song.

thats all i can think of right now.

Sepultura - Propaganda
-because it was the first metal I EVER heard and it scared me.

Scorpions - No one Like You
- I have never gotten tired of the beginning

Iced Earth - I died for You
-It was the very first Iced Earth I ever heard before

Iced Earth - The Coming Curse
-the riff......

Dire Straits - Romeo And Juliette

Beautiful song, the song just rules!

DVDA - Now You're A Man

Just Listen to it.

Chris Isaak - Wickid game, reminds me of somebody

and the maori song Tahi, Meaning one. reminds me of my cousins funeral when my aunty sara and uncle jeff sang it.

In The Stream Of Commerce - Cave In

The day I broke up with my girlfriend, I listened to this album (Jupiter) on the bus back from her house. This song is the epitome of this album for me, so everytime I hear it I am reminded of those bad times.

'Tallica - Hit the lights

reminds me of the time I knocked of a big glass-sculpture lamp at the local rock pub which I visited for years, it was a big mess and I was like 'oh. shit!!' because the boss there is a big fucking guy thats awfully strong and does all sorts of martial arts and shit.
The guy walked up to me and said 'no problem man, you've invested your share in my business, broken glass brings happyness' and he told the chick behind the bar to play 'hit the lights'

Caliban - Assasin Of Love

cool song, reminds me of getting a relationship with this cool chick, and finding out she allready had a boyfriend and forgot to tell me about him, I didn't start anything after that which sucked, but I just couldn't do it, glad I didn't though.

Biohazard - Urban Discipline (whole album)

we played this cd in our van when we headed to germany to go to a big ass metal festival, it was fun because we where with a load of friends and a lot of beer, but the cd player was broken and the cd wouldn't come out, so we had to listen to this constantly, at the end of the week we could sing everything along and had cool hardcore moves for each verse too, it was hilarious!

25 ta life - strenght through unity

remember this song from high school, that band is probably the reason why I got in a band anyway, it started with covering this song... That band is long gone now, but it's still a cool song and it brings back a lot of positive memories.

Summer Breeze - Seals and Croft....it sounds so happy yet so dark at the same time.

Only in Dreams - Weezer....even though its not metal at all, reminds me of a lot of tough shit.

Pearl Jam - Elderly Woman Behind The counter in a small town, black, I am mine. - like them for different reasons

Baker Street-Gerry Rafferty --because when Denny and I started going out we both really liked that song.

96 Tears- Question Mark and the Mysterians-- Because he said I was the only one who had ever known the answer to that when he played music trivia with people. And I answered without even having to think about it. It's a cool old song anyway.

500 Miles--Peter, Paul and Mary-- one of the first things I ever learned on guitar.

Baby Elephant Walk -- one of the first things I ever taught Wally on guitar.

Sunshine on Leith--The Proclaimers--reminds me of a very dear friend

Kryptonite--3 Doors Down-- reminds me of when I was driving my boy, Mike, all over the place. He'd crank that up cuz he knew I liked it a lot.

Our House (in the Middle of the Street) -- I don't remember who did it, but that was all that Jr. knew of it when he was 2 and he sang it driving from Akron, Ohio to San Diego , Ca. !!!

Fairytale of New York--Pogues-- Wally and I made an unknown connection in the Celtic area. He didn't know I even knew it and it was one of his favorites.

Southbound--Glassharp --Reminds me of my hit the road mentality in high school. Really cool song still. Phil Keaggy is an awesome guitarist.

Numerous old Genesis and Moody Blues songs that touch my heart and memories.

Oh yeah ! Memories ! The Way We Were--Barbra Streisand-- My senior choir did that in our last concert. It was the first year in ages that the choir was good enough to do something like that and I dont' think any of us had dry eyes. Makes me smile.

Smoke on the Water--Deep Purple-- SICK OF HEARING THE PEP BAND DO THAT AT EVERY SINGLE BLASTED BASKETABLL GAME !!!! AGHHHH!!!!

__________________

War Ensamble- Slayer. First slayer song that I ever heard and was instantly hooked. The song brings back momeries from 6th grade when I got my first kiss and was so stoked about it that all I could do was play Slayer.

Good morning/Black Friday- Megadeth. I got layed for the first time listening to this song. Plus the leads in the beginning really move me in a emotional way.

How the gods kill- Danzig. There is just something sad about the song that make me remember everything I've ever lost

Would- Alice In Chains. The song gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.

Burnt flowers fallen- Type-O-negitive. If you have ever loved and been treated badly by a person this song felt good to listen to, IMO.

Can't speak- Danzig. Same reason as above.

Reign in blood- Slayer. Something wicked about it that pumps me up.

Dead skin mask- Slayer. I can almost smell the scent of Halloween when I hear this song. Smells like fall.

I got lots more but who cares.

"Death-voice of the soul" iiiiiiiiiidiot....explain yourself or DIE BY THY SWORD OF 3V1L!!!!!!!!!

coffeeeeeeeeeeee whoooooooooo

I think a song that is very sentimentally valuable to me would be;

Obiituary - Final Thoughts, The End Complete, and Arise

Death - Flesh and the Power it Holds, Spiiiiriiiit Cruuuuusherrrr, Voice of the Soul (BECAUSE....it is a nice mellow song that has a lot of heavy emotion in the melody of both lead and acoustic guitars which symbolizes my true feeling for sexual intercourse), and pretty much the entire Sound of Perseverance album

Deicide - Serpents of the Light and Bilble Basher (me and my homiez in Detroit used to fight to these songs while piss drunk)

Gorguts - Obscura and Inverted

Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice baby cause that started the revolution of DEATH METAL!

Iced Earth - Amlost every song they've written prior to The Glorious Burden.

Mr.Soulinsane, thank you for reminding me about How The Gods Kill! It was the first doomish song I ever heard, and I remember going on a bus home for a long time after my very last cadet bivouac (that one made me quit because I really hated the poor organisation the new officers had. Also, the no fraternisation rules got me down because my man was there too and I couldn't even hug him). I finally got a chance to sit next to him, and we just spent ages listening to his CDs, and the song that jumped at me was How The Gods Kill. I thought metal was all about "growl growl MAD SOLO! growl growl fast drums growl!" and this song changed that. Shortly afterwards I got into doom metal.

Oh yes Memnoch, I am gay. So gay I make big gay Al look as straight as a broomstick, but really, I'm a chick.

How the Gods Kill - I could listen to that song for ten years straight and not get sick of it. Just sitting and reflecting.
Hit the Lights - Introduction to Metallica. First Metallica riffs I learned, and first solos too. And it rules.
Judy Blue Eyes - Personal reasons.
Fragile Art of Existence - Ironically-titled last song Chuck wrote. It's got parts almost as poignant as Voice of the Soul, but also has some rocking, and it's best to go out rocking.
Black Lodge - Personal reasons.
Little Wing (SRV cover) - If you don't know why, you should.
Stare Too Long - Just always got to me.
Cemetery Gates - Unfortunate personal associations.
Southbound - How can you not feel this song?

In Flames - Satellites and Astronauts
My first whole song I learned on drums, my first tabs, and my introduction to the European metal scene.

Andrew W.K. - She Is Beautiful
I went to Warped Tour one year, and really like any of the bands there, but I had a backstage pass. These guys were cool and took us on stage - I almost knocked over the keyboard during this song. *shrugs* Why it's got value, I don't know.

Cradle of Filth - Mannequin
The first hard song I learned.

Metallica - Fuel
The first heavy song I ever heard and liked.

And what a heavy song it is...Rock out dude. With your friggin' cock out

Ah. VoD also have a song called Southbound but I wasn't sure if that was the one that you alluded to as I can't see why anybody could attach any sentiment to it (although it isn't a bad song by any means).

__________________

Sentimental hmm lets see....

Almost every Saturnus song, but just to name a few: Drown my sorrow, For my demons, Noir..
Opeth - Nectar, Harvest, To bid you farewell, Sillhouette, Requiem
My dying Bride - A kiss to remember, Like Gods of the Sun
just touching,full of pain, beautiful lyrics and music
Cemetery - By My own hand The most beautiful song about suicide in my opinion.
Ministry of Terror - Agony "I do like life, but life gives me pain,pain, pain"

Of the Wand and the moon - I crave for you, My devotion never fades heart warming love songs with a bitter-sweet taste

Amon Amarth - For the stabwounds in our back for a person that had much backstabing done to, I can relate.

Alice in Chains - Down in a hole a song about a place I've been in many times
Pearl Jam - Alive a song that uses as my reminder that I am in fact still alive

__________________

I messed the name, anyway. The Allman Brothers have a song called Southbound, but it's a jumpy blues song I'm not too attached to. On the other hand, 'Can't You See' is a great song.

Metallica - Master Of Puppets, the first metal song I heard and really liked.

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell, the first whole song I learned at guitar.

Guns n' Roses - Knockin' on heavens door, the first solo I learned

Guns n' Roses - November Rain, it reminds my of bad times

Bob Dylan - Hurricane, There's just something about it...

Billy Joel - It's still rock n' roll to me, this song just always makes my happy

wow. i said this exact thing two days ago to my dad. and youre the only person ive heard say or think that other than me.

this thread reminds me of my emotion in metal thread, kind of.

lunar strain album-got it when i was at my favorite place in the world. naturally the cd is now beautiful to me.

Amorphis-drowned maid. that one riff with the higher notes on the song, the slow double pedal on that part, and the ride pace. AMAZING

Mithotyn-in the sign of the ravens. "born like a true hammerchild i was a long time ago" the riff there! Also Lost in the mist, beautiful instrumental. and the old rover, its like my grandpas dying song.

i guess theres more, but whatever

These songs are sentimental for private reasons.

Rammstein - Links 2 3 4
Cradle Of Filth - Mannequin
Dimmu Borgir - Mourning Palace

Non-private reasons -
Mayhem - Chainsaw Gutsfuck
0-3-2!0-3-2! Beauty in simplicity. First Mayhem song I ever heard, still favourite.
My Dying Bride - A kiss to remember
The first doom metal song I ever heard.

I have a lot more songs of sentimental value actually but I will write them down as I remember them.
