Driving home from work today I head a song that took me right back to a Jr High dance...ABC - All of My Heart. (Yes, I'm old) It's funny how music can bring back a flood of memories including what I was wearing and who I was dancing with. Do you have a song like that???

    Most 90's hip hop and R&B does that for me. :)

    Bryan Adams..."Everything I Do"
    7th grade dance with Kevin Stuart. He is as handsome now as he was then ((thank you FB)) and I wouldn't mind attending a reunion and dancing with him to it again...and again....and again.

    and again

    Water Runs Dry by Boyz II Men. I got asked to dance after the homecoming game my freshman year of high school by one of the football players. That song makes me think of that every time. :)

    Too many! For some reason, one that stands out is Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard. I was in junior high, riding the school bus on a field trip, and someone brought along their boom box. They blasted that song, but innocent little me had never heard it before so I was quite intrigued!

    Summer of '69-Bryan Adams; reminds me of talking about the lyrics to one of my best friends 10 yrs ago
    Heaven-Bryan Adams; my parent's wedding song, they played it often
    Cleanest out my closest-Eminem; heard this and it motivated me to into writing gangsta rap
    Wonderful tonight-eric clapton; reminds me of a lot of late nights, my dad playing that song around the campfire jammin'
    Dance-Garth Brooks; reminds me of my first love-it was one of his fav songs/artist and during our break up he said this would always remind him of me & vise versa
    Pony-Ginuwine; reminds me when my cousin introduced me into sexual music/drinking days
    Colt 45-Afroman; rapping this out with friends
    Crazy B****-Karaoke nights

    Honestly my list is pretty endless ahahah

    Ok, this one is morbid so I apologize in advance but that song "I will remember you" was on the radio when my best friend's body was found 4 days after she was swept away in a river and drown. I always think of her when I hear it and it still makes me cry.

    Oh wow. Sorry, that must of been really horrifying to go thru.

    Pearl Jam-Last kiss, I know it doesn't nearly compare but whenever I hear this song I burst into tears thinkin' about the first thing I ever saw death. When I was 7 my dog got run over by a car, brought him to the vet and I just remember holding him & kissing him when I found out that we had to put him down. =S

    Enigma! That was definitely our old ' under the covers workout' music!

    Every time I hear Deep Purple 'Space Trucking' it takes me back to a happier time. Also happens when I hear old Pink Floyd.

    Omg so many!
    Love is all around by wet wet wet - reminds me of when my sister was born as it was playing in the car driving back from the hospital.
    Summer of 69 - I used to go to this same bar every weekend when I was about 16 as they never asked for ID. They would play this song over and over.
    Dancing In the dark by Bruce Springsteen - reminds me of my mum :)
    Mr brightside by the killers - reminds me of college (pretty much any killers song does actually)
    Any Destinys child song brings back memories of high school.
