Today I listened to the Synchronicity album by The Police while I was walking. Some days I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, but 30 years later I still remember every word to that album.

Do you have an album from when you were younger that you remember every word to?

I am SUCH an 80's child!  I really loved music, so there are a lot of songs I remember the words to from years ago.  I also relate music to people, what I was doing when I first heard the song, etc.

LOL,  Yes, I too cannot remember what I had for breakfast...lol....but I do love music.

The album I remember most is called "Tommy" by The Who, they were  more from my older sister and cousin's generation, but I loved alot of their music, and this particular album I would listen to over and over again.  It was a "rock opera" and also a movie.  The one I listened to was from the movie.

I am impressed that you know every song from that Police album, because I listened to them, and loved them, but I would not remember all the songs.  The Police had so many hits and then Sting on his own, that their music even now is awesome.

@Di and Bob, can you name a few songs from Herman's Hermits?  Did they sing "under my umbrella"?

Duran Duran, U2, Depeche Mode, all the one-hit wonders...I heard "Take On Me" by A-ha this past weekend and was singing along to the whole thing with my friends!

Herman's Hermits sang on this album anyway: Sea Cruise, Henry the Eighth, Silhouette, Under my Umbrella, and one of my favorites that starts with "I'm leaning on the lamp, maybe you think I look a tramp, or maybe I'm out to steal a car."

This has got me started thinking about the music from my teenage years.

There was also A Whiter Shade of Pale and The House of the Rising Sun.   Judy Collins did a really good job with Amazing Grace.  It was done acapella, she did part of it as a solo and a choir joined for the rest but there were no instruments.

If I had to remember the words it would probably have to be Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene - because there weren't any! 
  Zero memory for lyrics...  stuff that sticks in my head though, I could list endlessly.  Used to loose myself in music constantly as a teenager, and to a slightly lesser extent the rest of my life too.

Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and FischerZ's Pretty Paracetamol were a couple of album tracks I used to play over and over again. 
  Empire State Human by the Human League and Casablanca Moon by Slapp Happy as well. National Heroes of Jamaica by Prince Far I off Heavy Manners. Nazareth's version of Delilah, and The Dubliners Whisky In The Jar are other tracks that I could never get out of my head.  Slapp Happy's Ancalbasac Moon album has been one of my favourites since I was about 18, along with a Best of John Marty album with an accoustic version of May You Never on it that I could listen to just about any time and feel warm and cozy....

Elvis was at the top during the 50's when I was growing up. I also remember songs by The Everly Brothers.

I knew and STILL know every single song and all the lyrics of each song in "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John. I will listen to it sometimes when I walk and am sure others hear me singing away. :lol3:

How could I have forgotten Pink Floyd's Echoes, AND Bob Dylan's Hard Rain and Blood on the Tracks.  I did say I spent a lot of time lost in music didn't I?

Where my cats are
There are a few for me from college mostly.  I listened to mostly contemporary Christian music back then or some of the Christian Alternatives/hip-hop, etc.  Not sure who here would remember those.  I was reminiscing with a cousin on Facebook today about when she took me to a CeCe Winans concert close to 20 years ago when I was in middle school and she in college. 
  CDs were a really cool thing to have at that point and I still have the CD my parents bought after I went to that concert.  I'm not sure if I have all the lyrics down though.  I'll have to find it tomorrow and see.

What do you consider "younger days?"

My music interests have changed over the years.  As a young teen I liked 60's music.  As a mid to late teen in the late 1970's I loved Disco.  Then I was crazy about the entire 1980's.  n the 1990's I was hooked on Country (more modern stuff like Shania Twain). Then I grew to love Metal in the early 2000's.  I still love Metal, but I also love opera and I'm still stuck in the 1980's. My favourite decade of music.

Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, and Bob Dylan (I loved Blood on the Tracks) were my favorites. Really brings me back a ways..

Springsteen has been my fav since his Born to Run album when I was just a kid. Now over three decades later, he's still going strong, and I'm still into him. A little Thunderoad on my headphones on a Friday afternoon-- a little slice of heaven!.
