Core Vampire Weekend memories?

In preparation for my first VW concert on Friday I have played the discography on a loop. Being a fan for over ten years each album holds a special place in my memory and as I listen certain core memories bubble up to the surface. And I want to hear yours.

Here’s mine. Plus an album tier list for the haters:

1. VW and Contra are directly tied to my middle school days playing Civ 3 for hours with these two albums on a loop.
2. MOTVC came out when I played Fallout New Vegas for the first time and had the album on loop. And also brings back memories of when I met my now wife in High school.
3. FOTB comes out right as my now wife and I move to Wisconsin. We play it on repeat and it’s the only album she likes because “it’s the least Vampire Weekend, Vampire Weekend album”.
4. OGWAU arrives as our son turns two, and we’re feeling increasingly frustrated with the state of the world. I feel this deeply in this album and it has resonated with me on a deep level.

So what about y’all? What comes to mind for VW when you give the discography a listen?
