What's sad is I actually thought of this thread while driving around.
Songs that take me back:
First, I'll start with one that cannot actually remind me of anything, because I first heard it last year. But something about the song takes me back to 1996. Jiva's White Wash. And it probably reminds me of songs from the 90s, but....
The Hollobodies: Jimmy. Reminds me of summer days waiting for my Ex, with my headphones, a shitty walkman, and a Hollowbodies tape.
Warren G/Nate Dogggggg: Regulate. Sad to say it, this song turned me back on to rap. Though I like Warren's production more than his lines, the concept of a cross between melodic lyrics (That were something other than a hook) and straight rap hooked me.
Then I lost interest again, after Tupac died.
My friend and I would sit on the porch and recite the song verbatim.
David Bowie: Rebel Rebel. Used to sing it to one of my girfriends to tease her.
I can't remember who did it, but "I Swear," the song thta's played in the closing credits of "Just Friends." I didn't like it, I didn't want to hear it, but it was on the radio a lot, and at that point, I'd catch a lot of MTV (I think Regulate was getting airplay at the time). It brings me back, reminds me of my youth, yet I hate it. Oh well....
Estra Fancy: Sinnerman, Yes Sir, Self Made. After discovering this band, I spent a summer listening to them almost constantly. Sinnerman is a traditional song, turned like, punk or something. I first heard them because of this. Self MAde and Yes Sir bring me back because of an association I make with this kid who used to get really nervous and shuffly around me when I played those songs.
The Who: The Real Me. I can't listen to Quadrophenia anymore, because it takes me back to something kind of rough. But again, it takes me back.
