You know, how certain songs or albums are associated with events or memories in your life? Well this is what the thread's about.

I was given the idea by the mention of The World Needs a Hero in the Megadeth thread... this album always reminds me of mowing the lawn while listening to it on headphones (it was one of the early metal CDs I got)!

Also, Iron Maiden's Powerslave has a connection with sitting a day-long Art exam - we were allowed to listen to walkmans while doing our pretty paintings, and I had that album on repeat!

Other people must have examples like this?

destruction-ed reminds me of summer and cold beers

AC DC - Fly on the wall always reminds me of bbqs

Oooh thats a good one!

Slayer - SITA reminds me of redecorating my nans house! I had it on walkman.

Billy Jean by Michael Jackson usually signifies that some terrible event is about to befall me. For example, falling down the stairs in a club, puking or bumping into my ex having managed to successfully dodge her for about 18 months.

Uplift by Pantera, from the Reinventing the Steel album. Every time I listen to it I remember me and my friend Stu dancing around to it in his bedroom a week before Tattoo the Planet (early September 2001) getting wonderuflly excited thinking we were about to see Pantera live, not knowing the horrors that awaited the world that highly unfortunate week.

'Rhythm of the Night' by Corona reminds me of my time at school because in my Film Studies class we studied a film that had this song at the end accompanied by possibly the best dance I have ever seen.

You can watch it there, it's worth it.

A Lesson In Violence reminds me of when Gillingham were beaten by Swindon in the 87 play offs, and I had to play the track aboiut 6 times in a row and imagine slaughtering Swindon fans as i listened to it...

Deacon Blue and Paul Simons Graceland reminds me of being driven around France on holiday when i was a kid

Venom, Manowar 'Hail To England', Agent Steel's new stuff, Exodus, Slayer, and Nuclear Assault remind me of going to college with Pez and friends on the long bus trip, and loads of random partying we did

Anthrax's "We've Come For You All" album reminds me of driving. Mostly to and from sixth form. And "Get On Top" by the Chili Peppers (I know it's not metal) reminds me of driving with my best mate and throwing pots of cream at buses Good times!

Lou Reed "Magic & Loss", an album about him losing two fiends close together that happened to come out when I'd lost a couple of people that were close to me. Obviously I can't listen to it anymore, which is a bugger as it's one of his best.

Metallica's AJFA reminds me of being in France with my best friend Simon.

Iron Maiden's FOTD album reminds me of being in Spain with my friends.

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. It always reminds me of that time in an Aberdeen hotel room when I nearly choked to death on my own vomit. Apparently I had that particular album playing on my discman as I was, well, choking to death on my own vomit.

Nirvana's nevermind album riminds me of traveling to and from glasgow in the early nintiess. Stuff like Status Quo, Rainbow and Queen is from when i was a child, my dad played some of this stuff in the car when we lived in Germany.

Most music reminds me of places which i lived, with my dad being in the army we traveled a lot. Good memories. One song which does stand out on this thread for me is by a band called Sad Cafe and the song is my oh my.

There is also Iron Maidens Seventh son of a seventh son which reminds me of P.E. at school when we did cross country running up to a tower through a forest, i always seemed have that album playing on my walkman in P.E.
