What song brings up a specific memory for you?

Earthquake by Labrinth just played on the radio and I always immediately picture the floor of a retail store I worked out when I first moved to Melbourne because I would be left just about alone to close the store at 9pm and would end up blasting the store CD to get through.

Delta Goodrem Innocent Eyes always makes me picture the loading screen for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.

Bring my to Life by Evanescence. Used to play a lot of the radio when I was on my way to uni.

I’d be riding the train just listening to it.

I have Delta’s cd of Innocent Eyes in the cupboard. hides

I can't listen to Smashing pumpkins or Eskimo Joe due to a horrid cheating Ex

You should work on that, I was that way with Bowie for a bit, you're missing out.

No thanks. One was used as actual torture.

Another One Bites The Dust at the roller rink.

I love it! I picture a roller rink when I hear I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic!

Pretty much any grunge or metal album that came out in the late 90's.

So many parties and memories.

Too many to name. Afternoon Delight brings back good memories.

Werewolves of London - was at an outdoor camping gathering with a music stage (not a festival and a band played this. Great summertime vibes.
