Wall of Mouths

MacArthur Park always reminds me of sitting in a Humber Imperial on top of a mountain in Cumbria looking down at the clouds. It was lovely :)

And the first single I ever bought was … no. it’s too embarrassing! :D

The first time I had sex:

Phil Collins - one more night :eek:

Yes, it still haunts me :D

Edited to say: it was playing on the radio!!!!

The last U2 album conicided with my “troubles” as discussed in detail in ” Is This It ? ” which makes it very hard to listen to.

Although - the fact that it was SHIT didnt help ! :D:D

Shout by Tears for Fears - reminds me of the best summer of my life.

And Chain Reaction by Diana Ross reminds me of being a kid and playing with my Go-bots in the back of the car on long journeys!

I have a soft spot for Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Just remember liking them on Top of the Pops performing Relax and Two Tribes. Then when I was 9 years old, my parents bought me a copy of Welcome to the Pleasuredom for Christmas. The tape is long gone but I’ve got it in my CD collection.

Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and Queen’s A Night at the Opera also brings back childhood memories, whenever my parenst would put it on the turntable. Of course, they ask me if they can borrow my CDs of those albums now, don’t they.

What else; the first time I heard Iron Maiden on TOTP with Can I Play With Madness, Dexy’s Midnight Runners on the radio on my way home from school when I was seven years old, discovering Joy Division and Specials on MTV’s Greatest Hits with Paul King when I was fourteen, my cousin introducing the Dead Kennedys to me and dancing to the Levellers at a student’s night every Thursday.

Oh what happy days.

Torpedo Girl - Kiss one of my favorites as a wee boy in 1st grade. Always a big Ace Frehley fan..sounds a bit crap now, but I loved it as a little kid.

Big Balls -AC/DC remembering how as little kids me and my friends thought it was cool that he said “balls”

Cruel to be Kind- Nick Lowe, on a long bus trip with my cousin Chrissy and my Mom to Detroit from Cleveland and this was one of the songs in heavy rotation up there. I must have heard it 100 times for those few weeks that summer. Still have a soft spot for it.

Photograph - Def Leppard. Remembered voting for it 100 times on MTVs Friday Night Video Fights. This was always up against Metal Health it seemed.

Peace Sells - Megadeth. Nothing was the same after that..

Three Headed Chick - Lord Tracy and Bang Goes the Bells by Babylon AD, Late nights cruising around with the brew crew during High School.

Can’t Bring Me Down- Suicidal Tendencies - The mandatory “Get Pumped” song played in the car on my way to deck-hockey games. Everyone just would go nuts.

Screamager - T?, Late Nights at the gas station just cranking the hell out of the sterio we had hooked up in the garage.

Bound To The Floor- Local H. Trip up to Cooperstown with my buddy Chris after graduating from college. Actually of that whole summer, this was in heavy rotation on the radio and on my CD deck.

shortly after I got a job and everythings kind of blurred together since then.

Song guaranteed to bring my mood down to one of cold, loneliness - Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward

Understandable reaction mrs h. But I’m more of a Lovecats person.

First song I thought at first listen this band are total pap, why do people like them - More than words by Extreme. I then proceeded to tell anyone who would listen to me to drop Extreme & listen to Faith No More. Two years later I had two mates appear in Faith No More T-shirt - and I got an apology from both of them ( and an Angel Dust T-shirt). Smug doesn’t do that feeling any justice. :D

‘Lovefool’ by The Cardigans reminds me of my first girlfriend, Blur’s self titled album reminds me of my GCSE Geography coursework :o, Troublegum reminds me of playing Final Fantasy 7, The Fragile by NIN reminds me of playing Final Fantasy 8 :D
