Of course all of the songs you talk about should have an eternal shelf life in your conciousness. Burned in there for good. Where I grew up let's say 'lacked culture', didn't really have a whole lot of access to as much weird music as I wanted, so my personal list is a little on the tame side, but they're still great songs, and all unload a flood of memory on me when I hear them. I'll probably think of more later but right now a few of them are: '10 Years Gone'-Led Zeppelin 'Even the Losers'-Tom Petty 'Here Comes My Girl'- Tom Petty 'The Break-Up Song'-Greg Kihn Band 'Money'-Flying Lizards 'Message in a Bottle'-The Police 'I Will Follow'-U2 'Let's Go'-The Cars 'It's Different for Girls'-Joe Jackson Anything from the first Pretenders LP *one little comment: it's actually funny to remember how strange 'Message In A Bottle' sounded when it first came out. That was really unchartered musical territory. Totally unfamiliar to my ears. For a minute The Police were actually a bonified, under the radar Punk/New Wave band. Hearing that song now, you would never have imagined. [ Edited by: donhonyc on 2005-06-25 23:02 ]
