  1. So I heard a theory that whatever's popular when you're 14 will inform your own musical taste for the rest of your life. I think that's close but not quite reality. My theory is that whatever music is popular with you (not necessarily popular in general, or at all) when you're 14 (ish) will inevitably become a major influence on your taste for years and years to come, if not for the rest of your life. Personally, I did some remembering, and I realized that nearly every album I first heard when I was 14 years old became my favorite album from that artist for years to come, and has remained in my #1 spot to this day. And here are my personal examples! FAVORITES TO THIS DAY: Rush - A Farewell To Kings ~my third Rush album, the first one that I first listened to after turning 14, still my favorite Rush album Muse - The Resistance ~my first Muse album, heard it first when I was 14, still my favorite Muse album (I also first heard The 2nd Law and Origin Of Symmetry at this age. The 2nd Law eventually found its way towards the bottom of the pile for me, but Origin Of Symmetry has remained my constant #2 after The Resistance, not surprising since I first heard it in the same 2 or 3 month span as all of the following albums) Radiohead - The Bends ~my first Radiohead album, heard it first when I was 14, still my favorite Radiohead album U2 - War ~roughly my first U2 album, heard it first when I was 14, still my favorite U2 album The Beatles - Abbey Road ~my first Beatles studio album, hear it first when I was 14, still my favorite Beatles album Pink Floyd - Animals ~my first Pink Floyd album, heard it first when I was 14, still my favorite Pink Floyd album (I would also hear Dark Side Of The Moon this year, later that summer, and it has forever remained my #2 Floyd album) Styx - Crystal Ball ~my first Styx album, heard it first when I was 14, still my favorite Styx album (I would also hear Paradise Theater this year, about a month later, and it forever clashes for my #2 spot with The Grand Illusion) Yes - The Yes Album ~my first Yes album, heard it first when I was 14, still my favorite Yes album Imagine Dragons - Night Visions ~my first Imagine Dragons album, heard it first when I was 14, still my favorite Imagine Dragons album Mumford & Sons - Babel ~my first Mumford & Sons album, heard it first when I was 14, still my favorite Mumford & Sons album INTERESTING CASES: Queen: My first Queen albums were Queen and Queen II which I bought during the summer before I turned 14. I then got Sheer Heart Attack that Fall after I turned 14. None of these three became my favorite Queen album though, as I'm sure most of you already know. That honor went to A Night At The Opera, which I got that following Christmas while I was still 14. I think I had known from the start it would likely end up my favorite if only for Bohemian Rhapsody, so perhaps I influenced my own opinion and did a bit of judging albums by their hits, but it has remained my favorite album of all time to this day, and has been at that #1 spot since the day I got it when I was 14. Before I turned 15 I also got A Day At The Races, which surprisingly fell towards the bottom of my rankings at first. It took some time to grow on me fully, but still sits outside my top 5. Rush: My first Rush albums were 2112 and Clockwork Angels, bought roughly at the same time as my first Queen albums during the summer before I turned 14. As I mentioned above, the first Rush album I got after I turned 14, A Farewell To Kings, became my favorite and has stayed there ever since. However, my next Rush album, Hemispheres, immediately fell towards the bottom of my Rush rankings. I got it on Christmas Day, the same day I got Queen's A Night At The Opera. It could be that I was so enthralled with A Night At The Opera at the time, that I did not give Hemispheres as much credit as it deserved, but it could also be that I simply saw it much the same way I would come to see A Day At The Races a few months later: a bit of a lesser extension of the album that came directly before it. Anyway, here's the real interesting part: if I remove Hemispheres from the data pool for having gotten it on the same day as my favorite album of all time, the next two Rush albums I got became my #2 and #3 in that exact order: Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. And they are the only other Rush albums I got at the age of 14. Coldplay: Coldplay are a very special band to me and I discovered them at the age of 14. I bought two of their albums at the same time that summer: A Rush Of Blood To The Head and Mylo Xyloto. To this day those would probably be my #2 and #3 albums from the band, not sure in which order. Oddly, neither became my favorite, despite them being my first Coldplay albums and hearing them first at the age of 14. It would be Viva La Vida, which I may not have heard until I was 15 (hard to say exactly) that would take my #1 spot. I attribute this statistical outlier to the fact that Coldplay became very closely tied to my first teenage heartache, and my feelings for the music are very closely intertwined with my memories that part of my life. It's simply not possible to separate them in my psyche, so perhaps that is why I gravitate towards Viva La Vida, a slightly less emotionally charged album for me, as my favorite. On the other hand, it's probably because Viva La Vida is a prog pop masterpiece that sees Coldplay tackling unusual song structures, moody atmospheres, non rock instrumentation, and odd time signatures in a way they never did before and never have since. tl;dr answer the question in the title!
  2. Just found out my brain still works well...just differently. I'm engaged in watching CSI:Miami again....been a couple years...and a piece of fabric appeared in a scene and immediately my brain placed the word 'Brocade' to the forefront. I looked it up in Websters online dictionary and found out my brain remembered well enough to bring me the info needed. I've been playing games on Pogo.com, mostly matching games, (Mah jong type matching games, some perceptional games, etc. ) and I'm finding my brain is getting better at functioning like it used to. This makes me exceptionally HAPPY! Thank you, Brain!
