Your Life's Soundtrack

It'll be this afternoon or maybe even this evening before I have an opportunity to put up another post. Your assignment for today is to post the following:

  • What is your favorite album, or an album that's the soundtrack to your life?
  • Why is it your favorite album, or the soundtrack to your life?

    I'm not looking for "that one Britney Spears album, because it has that song I really like". I'm looking for an entire, cohesive album, one that tells a story from beginning to end, one that contains songs that would be incomplete if not locked together on one album. You have you work cut out for you.

    Me? Achtung Baby by U2. It's a chronicle of rebellion and betrayal, reconciliation, and the start of a new era in human history. It was designed and brought to fruition revolving around the following events:

  • The collapse of The Edge's marriage. (He's the guitarist.)
  • Reunification of Germany.
  • The explosion of the AIDS issue in world culture.
  • Gulf War I, live on television.

    It's the story of two lovers rent apart, and reunited in a fragile reconciliation that reveals the inherent weakness that was unrealized in the original incarnation. It's amazing.

    Post it up, folks. Have a great day.
