Nice! Mine is Digital Bath from the same album. Let's just say I ate some paper one summer night with some friends (might actually be the same summer), and that song took on a whole new life for me.

It was late 1970 in Korea in the DMZ at Stanton Army Airfield. There was a 3 story concrete barracks in the middle of the camp. On the top floor on one end the windows were open and I could hear Deep Purple 'Child in Time' blasting as if they were up there playing live. I ran into the barracks and up the 3 flights of stairs. I started passing a bunch of Korean soldiers in the bay area, they were mostly holding their ears and making faces. I entered the room at the end and there was about 10 Sansui speakers all hooked up to some big Kenwood Amp turned full volume. Four Army guys were standing there stoned looking at the floor swaying with the pulsating sound. It didn't matter what was being played, it was like standing next to the stage at a real concert, I think that is what these guys were trying to accomplish. That was just another day in Korea.

Sound Garden's entire "Superunknown" album ruled my summer when i was 14.

Good times...



...and bad ones.

[patteeu]

In December 1993, I had just been released from the hospital after an unsuccessful surgery for a life threatening condition. The surgeon told me he didn't think I'd be able to find anyone capable of addressing my problem and that I should get my affairs in order, so to speak. I was a young man and my wife was pregnant with our first child. The first song I heard on the radio was Smashing Pumpkins' Today and the initial lyrics hit me like a brick. Anytime I hear this song it brings me back to that moment.

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long

[Dayze]

Black guys country music sounds better than country music. .

1986 - Freshman year in HS, buddy just got a brand new one of these



We would dog it out all over town. It never even occurred to him that there was a place for the accelerator than the floorboard. Every time we got a break from Marching Band rehearsal, we beat feet for Sonic with this in the cassette deck.



85-100 mph on two lane city street. We should be dead.

Sonic ! How Funny ! 1978 a junior in high school I owned(not literally of course) the very end stall of Sonic right next to the main drag in town called National Ave. Sonic was the turn around point for the main drag. I had a 1953 Flatbed Chevy truck that I would park in that end stall at Sonic and me and a couple of buddies would get out and sit on the flatbed all night ordering Dr.Peppers and Frito pies while flirting with the chicks all night that drove through. It was truly Americana at it's best and why this song although released much later reminds me of those days because it totally fits.

Beast of Burden reminds me of this party we had when I was a freshman in college 2000. This guy was like... Dude fire up winamp and play beast of burden. I had to get dig through Warren G and Europe to find it.

[KCUnited]

Brotha Lynch Hung's Season of the Siccness takes me back to camping the entire summer of '95 at a lake in Kansas. Pure hedonistic filth.

[Demonpenz]

God damnit I wanted some normal nostalgia. Not demon punk metal doom while carving a pentagram in your arm at the age of 9 to slayer. BE NORMal

[Demonpenz]

What about some Lynard Skynard while eating a snow cone and watching the sunset and chasing down a deet truck on your bike all the while.

[Rasputin]

It's not the song that takes me back to a specific moment but a specific moment when I'm fishing and my bait gold fish slips out onto the ground and flops around it reminds me of this song.




Great song

It was the 80's and my ship had just conducted its last underway replenishment of our WESTPAC tour. We were headed back to San Diego via the Philippines and Hawaii, and the ship had been halfway around the world off the coast of Libya for a while. So we were finally going back home. Anyway, after a ship is replenished with supplies you break all ties and resume normal steaming, then you "break away" by turning away from the supply ship and continuing on. At this point you play a song over the 1MC (loudspeakers) and we usually went with Fanfare For The Common Man by the Captain's command. He wanted something special and told the bridge to surprise him. We were scrambling around and I found a cassette tape stashed in a box, so I wound it to Don't Look Back and we played it as our last break away song.
