There is some music that I just won't listen to any more, or very, very rarely:

* the Cranberries ('90s rock) because there's just too much nostalgia involved

* Górecki's Symphony No. 3, especially the second movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miLV0o4AhE4

90s rock and pop hits me in the feels as well. Such a different time.
Fuck man. Didn't know about Gorecki's Symphony No. 3. I found a version with Beth Gibbons(Singer w. Portishead) singing in Polish?!?! Unbelievable goose bump symphony and performance. THANKS!
