Tiny Tears by Tindersticks immediately comes to mind, and makes me think of the Sopranos episode it featured in. Music is used to great effect throughout the series, up to and including the final episode. For me, and perhaps a lot of people, it’s impossible to listen to any of the songs without thinking of the show. When it was originally broadcast, it was unusual for TV drama to be so elevated. Even now, 25+ years later, it still stands at the pinnacle.

Chapters

Where gentle hills roll
words and melody comfort
he is not alone-
Summer days fade out
colour and sound flood the night
barriers dissolve-
In a piece of time
Bristolian bands play as
lifelong friends converge-
Britpop echoes wane
but London is ours until
the sliding doors close-
Capital dreams bloom
new bands soundtrack adventures
with Nordic friends-
Their collections merge
as the girl from Manchester
arrives in his life-
Market fortunes fall
as we settle in our home
high upon the hill-
Small paws gently pad
his name might be Ziggy but
he doesn't play guitar-
The needle drops as
a new phase begins in the
the city of bees-
Revolutions slow
when apple scruffs reach halfway
and start looking back

About this collection
This archive doesn't include any music I have owned on Cassette or MiniDisc (sadly now lost) or listened to on streaming services. I collected CDs from 1991 to 2015, often buying music having only heard a few tracks on the radio in the pre-streaming days. In 2017, I bought a turntable with the (lofty) aim of building a canonical music collection that only included releases I really cared about. Events I've attended are based on memory and verified using online sources like setlist.fm.
