Inspired by another thread, discuss what songs and/or albums you strongly associate with one or another season, holiday, or special event (but let's not rehash this other thread).
For me, this time of year is inextricably linked with The Cure's Faith and Seventeen Seconds. Some of it has to do with when I first heard them, but it's more than that. I can't hear "A Forest" without thinking about trees that have no leaves (even though that would make it harder to wind up lost, all alone, wouldn't it?)
Winter is Björk weather, specifically Debut & Homogenic. Must be the Iceland thing. So is Viva Hate. Also Tori's Little Earthquakes, The Beatles' Beatles for Sale and Let it Be, Sinéad's The Lion and the Cobra. And, of course, Joy Division's Closer.
Kate Bush's Hounds of Love is a spring album, even "Under Ice." (I'm from the upper Midwest, so it's not that weird.) Same with The Queen is Dead.
Summer is, first and foremost, Marshall Crenshaw's self-titled debut, followed by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album, Pet Sounds, Lily Allen's Alright, Still, London Calling, and Prince's Sign 'o' the Times.
