What songs give you huge nostalgia for EQ?

[Sajan]

Rammstein - Du Hast

[Sebekkha]

Pink Floyd - dark side of the moon, on repeat, for years.

[Calibix]

Seriously, all these nerds and no one mentions Blind Guardian?

Granted, I wasn't quite into metal back then as I didn't develop that taste until I started playing guitar, but it's a whole album based on Tolkien.

P99 Uber nerds for shame, for shame!

That and the banking music. It's so damned... soothing? I wouldn't be surprised to find the bank midi playing in one of those Eastern-philosophy-themed relaxation spas.

Arcturus' "The Sham Mirrors" album.

[fugazi]

Bloodhound Gang - One Fierce Beer Coaster from 1996 and later on Hooray for Boobies. Real mature, I know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've noticed this effect applies to video games as a whole if you're a sound-bug. Personally, sometimes the soundtrack itself is good enough, like in Final Fantasy Tactics. I met my wife in 1995 and played the shit out of FFT 1997 through to EQ launch. My wife STILL finds the menu sounds comforting because of how we'd hang out back then in college. (Glad I graduated before I tried EQ in July 99...)

There is an old DOS game from Sierra called Hero's Quest (renamed Quest for Glory). I had a copy of that in high school that I played to death while listening to Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits and Jimi Hendrix Experience Smash Hits.

I wonder how normal it is for a man to feel the need to talk to pixies when he hears the opening screechsong of Joplin's version of Summertime. I also know that Purple Haze helps one play cribbage with hermits.

There's also an element of Ozzy's Tribute album grafted to my cortex near whatever portion controls the F-Zero logic unit.

Oh shit.

I got old.
