Name an important song or album and the event in your life that it reminds you of. I will kick it off.

Phil Collins-No Jacket Required. My year and a half in Mogadishu, Somalia. It was what I listened to when I worked out.

even though this was done in 1965 it to this day is one of my favorite songs

We Gotta Get Out of This Place - The Animals

another one which hit the top charts and a favorite of mine during my tour was and is

Time Has Come Today - The Chambers Brothers

Cheryl Crow "All I Wanna Do"... It's not that I particularly care for the song, but it makes me think of Okinawa. I swear AFN radio played it every third song..

Panama by Van Halen-back in 84 it was always playing whenever I walked into Sgt Peppers in Kinville Okinawa

Monday, Monday by the Mammas and Pappas.......heard it the first time right after I broke up with my high school sweetheart.....still hate that song

"This is the new sh*t" by Marilyn Manson, is one of those songs that just keeps me going. With the lyrics "Do we need it? (NO!!) Do we want it? (YEAH!!!!!)" always gets me in the mood for some PT. As well as "Die MotherF|_|cker Die" by Dope. Once you listen to them, you'll realize what I mean.

I've got a load of songs that I identify with. The band that has consistently been there through the good and bad is Coldplay. I associate "Yellow" with my first year at uni, "The Scientist" with being dumped and Speed of Sound when I was preparing to start my training.

Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" - cause it always makes me think of 'that someone special'!

Every time I hear any song off of Def Leppard's greatest hits album, and "I dont care any more" by Phil Collins, it reminds me of the love of my life... mostly it just makes me sad though *sigh*

oh and ... Brown Eye'd Girl is my song!

For some reason I think of riding the school bus in junior high school every time I hear Guns-n-Roses "Paradise City".. The stoners in the back were always playing it on their "boom box"..lol

Avida and Talk About Pop Music (not sure if those are the actual titles)

Every time I hear one of those two songs I can see the broken concrete of magsisi (sp?), smell the stink of shit river and hear the "hey GI" of the ladies.

"Take me down to the Paradise City, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...."

I always loved GNR and no I was not a stoner sitting in the back of the bus!!

"When I Need You" by Leo Sayer was always a favorite of mine back in the day and still gets me when I hear it
