The Power of Memory

Back when I was a kid, I used to ride the school bus. Every day, I sat in the back of the bus with the other kids, who ranged in age from elementary age to high school seniors. Some of the girls wore jean skirts and had heavy perfume. And the bus driver would play top 40 hits from the radio. To this day, every time I hear "Heaven is a Place on Earth", I'm transported back to my youth.

Now, much older, I'm trying to take advantage of the effect of music on memory. I love to find new songs to listen each year. Listen to them enough, and the song will be permanently etched in my memory - tied to the people and experiences I remember from that year. Help me find the ultimate 2022 playlist. What are you listening to right now?

Comment below with some of your favorite songs and I'll add them to the list - and to my 2022 playlist!

The playlist is now complete. I added up to 10 songs from each user (limit 1 song per musical act, no songs longer than 11 minutes).

Overall, there are 357 songs and the entire playlist is more than 24 hours in length.

I make a top 50 favorite songs playlist every month - here's my one for December. If I had to choose just a few favorites though, I'd probably go with:

Go To Hell, For Heaven's Sake by Bring Me the Horizon

Something to Hold on To by Turnpike Troubadours

Gasoline by I Prevail

One of Us is the Killer by The Dillinger Escape Plan

fake friend by nothing,nowhere

Doomsday by Architects

Casanova, Baby! by The Gaslight Anthem

Wasted On You by Morgan Wallen

Level 71

Dec 15, 2021

What I'm literally listening to right now is Freeze-Frame by the J. Geils Band, but I presume you mean more of what I've been recently into which in the past month for me would mainly be Die Young by Kesha, Seventeen by MARINA, Paralyzer by Finger Eleven, and Mercy's Shore by NEEDTOBREATHE, and Part of the Plan by Dan Fogelberg to name a few.

Level 22

Dec 15, 2021

Dig Me by King Crimson

Machine Gun by The Peter Brötzmann Octet

Amugn by Can

Rain Dance by Herbie Hancock

Phallus Dei by Amon Düül II

Dec 16, 2021

"Machine Gun by The Peter Brötzmann Octet"

Now, that is a RANDOM song that I haven't listened to in a long time. I used to be into weird jazz music but then at some point ... I just stopped. I guess when you get old you start to get lame. I unironically enjoy the Carpenters now.

Level 65

Dec 16, 2021

Patriotic Songs.

~~seriously, check out this channel, they're really good~~

Other than that, I like anything Instrumental, mainly EDM.

Level 73

Dec 16, 2021

I remember vibing to some good old 10 second segments of EDMs repeatedly because I kept dying early on in tougher geometry dash levels. That was back in 5th/6th grade, good times.

Level 65

Dec 16, 2021

~~ah, geometry dash...~~

Level 71

Dec 16, 2021

Tongue Tied (Grouplove)

Level 76

Dec 16, 2021

As I listen to more music, I find my playlist changing frequently. In the past month especially, as I have started to listen to more Britpop. To select one song... it would be Sonnet by The Verve. It is a truly beautiful song.

Level 66

Dec 16, 2021

It always amazes me that Western people would only listen to English songs. Radio/TV would seldom play songs in any other languages (except the odd occasion of the Eurovision Song Contest). In contrast, many Asians would listen to music in other languages (Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, English, Spanish, French, Thai etc.), not necessarily understanding what the lyrics say.

P.S. Out of the songs above, Casimir Pulaski Day is my favourite. Thanks for the recommendations.

P.P.S. I also wrote a blog of my own playlist, but it's Cantopop only.

Level ∞

Dec 16, 2021

That's not true. We also listen to this song.

Level 62

Jan 13, 2022

I listen to a lot of non-English language music; Shakira, Sigur Ros, Miriam Makeba, Puffy AmiYumi, Milton Nascimento, Fela Kuti, Shonen Knife, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Ougou Sangare, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Angelique Kidjo, etc. But I feel a little uncomfortable recommending a song when I don't fully comprehend the lyric--I don't want to appear to espouse unknown lyrical content

Level 78

Dec 16, 2021

Level 56

Dec 16, 2021

Level 69

Jan 1, 2022

I'm listening to the playlist right now and the Orinoco Flow -> Mexico -> Take Me Home sequence is just so good. Thank you very much for this (and also for reminding me of the existence of Orinoco Flow. I love it so much but it's been ages since I least heard it)!

Brilliant blog! I have always found it fascinating how certain songs remain engraved in your mind, linked to specific events or periods.

I remember listening to poorly recorded tapes on my old walkman, especially Marilyn Manson Antichrist Superstar.

Then I remember buying my 1st CD -it was Linkin Park Meteora and it is nothing to say that I loved it! Then my collection did not stop growing, the musical genres diversified according to multiple encounters and feelings of a lifetime.

Here is a list of 10 songs I would recommend, among many that I love:

Eddie Vedder - Society

System of a Down - Chop Suey!

Pixies - Where is my mind?

The Beatles - Within You Without you

Renaud - Chanson pour Pierrot

The Fugees - Killing me Softly

Lana Del Rey - Venice Bitch

Joe Hisaishi - Mother of the Sea

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Ennio Morricone - Un Amico

That said, 100% agreed on the Joplin and Nirvana songs!

Level ∞

Dec 16, 2021

One of my all-time favorite songs is "The Ecstasy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone!

Level 68

Dec 17, 2021

I love this one too! Morricone had magical scores - I particularly like the ones from Sergio Leone and Tarantino's films.

Level 62

Jan 13, 2022

He had many great scores, but my two favorites are neither Tarantino nor Leone; The Mission & Cinema Paradiso

I'm enjoying these "JetPunk Asks" blogs. I hope it's a trend that continues :)

Honestly, I'm a bit of a Queen fanatic. There are times where that's all I'll listen to for days on end, and they were, by far, my number 1 artist on Spotify this year. I don't have a single favorite Queen song, but "Radio Ga Ga," "'39," and "Teo Torriate," and "Fat-Bottomed Girls" are all up there.

Level 64

Level 69

Dec 16, 2021

I'm mainly into pop, indie and Bollywood. Going through the comment sections of music-themed quizzes, I've noticed people complaining about all the songs they don't think deserve to be hits, many of which happen to be pop. Of all the songs you listed, I have only heard Cardigan and Harmony Hall (I like them both!). I think a Coldplay song (Fix You, Higher Power, Hymn for the Weekend, Paradise, Orphans) would be a great inclusion to your playlist. As for a lesser known band, I would most probably suggest an Indian band named Parikrama (their song But It Rained is my favourite). You should check them out! Some other songs that I would like to suggest:

Perfect and Galway Girl - Ed Sheeran

Golden - Harry Styles

Riptide - Vance Joy

Radioactive - Imagine Dragons

Roots - Imagine Dragons

Hard Times - Paramore

Non Believer - London Grammar

Royals - Lorde

Lost in Yesterday - Tame Impala

Somebody that I Used to Know - Gotye

~~I can suggest some Bollywood songs too, if you would like!~~

Level 73

Dec 16, 2021

As far as pop goes, this is a pretty good list. Royals, Radioactive, and Somebody That I Used To Know are definitely up there for me (although there's a good few Lorde songs I like better than that one).

Level 69

Dec 16, 2021

Some other songs that I've been listening lately:

Level 54

Dec 16, 2021

I have been listening a lot to Carly Rae Jepsen recently. Emotion is a masterpiece of pop imo, but her most recent album, as well as her first, is excellent as well.

I also have been big on Fiona Apple, Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, the 1975, as well as alt-pop and alt-rock generally.

Level 58

Dec 26, 2021

Yay Phoebe Bridgers!

Level 75

Dec 16, 2021

I listen to lots of music while working, truck driving gives you that freedom that many other workers don't have.

I listen to anything and everything, if I like it I'll play it. But if I dont like it...well you get the idea.

I have music that ranges from South American PanPipes and South African Choirs all the way up to Swedish death metal and 70's punk rock. And lots of stuff in between.

The oldest song I have is from around 1910 if you dont include classical music by many composers. I listen to opera, jazz, folk, rock, pop, country..depends on my mood.

If I had to pick some artists for others to search out they would be....

RUNRIG - Scottish folk/rock band that sings in English and Gaelic.

The LACS - American rap/rock redneck band (think mud, trucks, and girls).

JUDY TZUKE - 1970s rock ballads

BOOZOO CHAVIS - Louisiana accordian player, mix of Cajun and Blues.

The POGUES - Irish folk/rock band

For something different...

LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBASA - S.African choir, very relaxing.

I love that Heaven is a Place on Earth gives you that feeling. I feel the same way even though it came out 13 years before I was born, because my dad always plays that song and all of Belinda Carlisle’s songs, evert since I was very young. Now I’ve got tickets to see her in February.

This leads into other experimental music:

-Судно (Sudno) by Молчат Дома (Molchat Doma)

-The Record Player Song by Daisy the Great

-Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads

And then I get sick of that and return to the much better hard rock:

-Slow Ride by Foghat

-Princes of the Universe by Queen

-Safari Song by Greta Van Fleet

-For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) by ACDC

And that leads me back into Rush, to restart the cycle.

Flores, by Titãs

and a bonus one from Argentina: De Musica Ligera, by Soda Stereo

Level 43

Dec 17, 2021

My favorite Brazilian ones could be Djavan, Skank, or Jota Quest... it’s hard to think when the car with a hateful funk on 200 decibels pass on your house and shake it like an earthquake 😐. And I like the rhythm of the samba, although I don’t have a specific music. Maybe Aquarela do Brasil, but I don’t listen to it since ages lol. Actually I don’t like so much sertanejo, although somehow when I was a baby I used to dance Chora Me Liga from João Bosco e Vinícius with my uncle lol. I also used to dance the music of the Avenida Brasil novel. I really don’t know how I was so strange in the 3-year-olds... ;-;

*Argentina bonus. Me: Any tango*

Level 69

Dec 31, 2021

The list is really what I would call a "general pick up" from Brazilian music. I tried to get different vibes from the 60s to 90s and limit it to 15 songs maximum. It's kinda hard to resume it in less than 50 songs when talking to someone from other country. There are lots of great vibes (I picked some pop rock, soul, samba, ska, MPB, samba-reggae and classical rock), and based on the ones I suggested I could suggest a lot more of "underground" artists similar to any of them.

Aquarela is a great song, but few artists could do good covers of it. My favourite ones are the Tom Jobim's instrumental version (from Tide, 1970) and Arcade Fire's cover in English (bonus track from Funeral, 2004).

If you are talking about Avenida Brasil's opening theme, the song is not Brazilian. It is a reggaeton from a duo from Puerto Rico and France. Latino covering it doesn't make it a Brazilian song lol. Sertanejo and funk are just not my style either.

Level 66

Dec 17, 2021

"Chica Ideal" Sebastian Yatra

Level 67

Dec 17, 2021

"Think I'm In Love" by Eddie Money

"If I'd Been the One" by 38 Special

Only one song isn't one of those- -that being Hotel California by The Eagles. Funny thing, I'm listening to Julia right now, I like most of the Beatles EARLY songs, more recent are ehhh- okay I guess, I don't like a lot of their more recent songs. (People probably hate me now)

Dec 21, 2021

Katzenjammer is a fantastic Oslo-based girl band. Their name is a German loan word meaning "cat's music", and is a derogatory term for low-grade music, especially jazz. One critic described their music as "teeter(ing) on the verge of unbridled chaos), and was forced to publicly apologize when the band soared to popularity in Norway.

They play instruments you've never heard of in a genre that defies definition on the way to creating some of the most innovative and compelling songs I've ever heard.

Demon Kitty Rag is my favorite of their songs, closely followed by A Bar in Amsterdam.

Finally finished listening to the Spotify playlist. Not surprisingly it has a lot of good and interesting music. My favorite song by an artist I didn't know about was "レディメイド (Readymade)" by Ado. This was a big surprise since I know almost nothing about J-Pop, but the swinging energy was really fun, and she has a great voice with a lot of power. My favorite new song by an artist I already likes was "Every Step of the Way" by Santana. Really beautiful piece, and motivated me to check out more of his discography.
