54, 55, 56 and 57 with purple for the ask game if you want 💜
Thank you!
54. An album you loved since the first time you listened to
Oh, gosh, so many, but this is a Beatles blog, so I think first and foremost, I'd probably say Help! That album's been on rotation for me since I was a kid, and I can't remember a day when I didn't love it.
55. An album you learned to love after listening to it again and again
A bit of a wildcard, maybe, but probably My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge? I was absolutely a pop punk teen, but my taste skewed more Fall Out Boy / Green Day / Paramore growing up, and My Chemical Romance often straddled harder sounds than those bands did which took me longer to really get into. It's one I really love now though.
56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again
This is probably a real cliche, haha, but Joni Mitchell's Blue is just such a transcendent and affecting album.
57. [Send me a color and I'll tell you the first song it reminded me of.]
I couldn't even tell you why this reminds me of the colour purple, but it does, haha. Sharon Van Etten's Ask.
