Alrighty then, here's my list
1 - Bill Haley and His Comets - Rock Around the Clock (I can still see the images of the record being dropped inside a jukebox for the start of Happy Days from the late 70s).
2 - Johnny Mandel - Suicide is Painless - Better known as the theme for M.A.S.H. - again, I hear this song, I remember being a toddler and seeing the helicopters on tv.
3 - Lionel Ritchie - Dancing on the Ceiling - First album I ever asked for.
4 - Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer - The video defines being about 10 and the wonder and awe the world offered. My ears hear the music, my brain recalls the video.
5 - RHCP - Jungle Man - The lightning bolt that would get me my first guitar.
6 - RHCP - Johnny Kick a Hole in the Sky - Pilotwings on the SNES. I got that game and Mother's Milk around the same time, at this point I can't hear or see one without remembering the other.
7 - The Doors - Riders on the Storm - first song I learned on guitar
8 - Nirvana - Scentless Apprentice / Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock - Both In Utero and Siamese Dreams were -the- tapes of choice and the soundtracks to the last few summers of having to push mow a big lawn. When I hear the drum intros to either tune I still smell fresh cut grass.
