Albums & Places
Nothing's Shocking - Janes' Addiction
Hup! - The Wonderstuff

Those 3 remind me of Gilbert dorm '89 - '90 at the University of Delaware.
Violent Femmes - s/t: reminds me of closing down the kitchen at the Bowie Sizzler with that cassette blasting through the restaurant. Good times.

Great Topic. I could this for a while too, but I'll throw out a couple of highlights from when I was a growing up:
Fleetwood Mac - "Rumors" and John Stewart (notice the spelling, not that Jon Stewart) - "California Bloodlines" and "The Phoenix Concerts" will always remind me of the family summer drives to Oregon in the motorhome in the late 70's early 80's.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - "One More ^ From the Road" will always remind me of my drunken dad late at night in Orange County doing air guitar until my mom yelled from the top of the stairs to turn it down, which he did, until the 11 minute version of Free Bird came on, and the volume knob went through the roof. Always a silent morning after that, and you could feel the tension. Good times.
U2's The Joshua Tree will always remind me of the drive through central CA on the way to Mammoth.
Van Morrison's "Moondance" will always remind me of a train ride from Cork to Dublin when I was leaving Ireland, moving back to the states.
A couple more recent examples, any Jimmy Buffet reminds of a girl I dated who's family had a boat in Crisfield, MD.
And, like Pollard, The Postal Service will always remind me of the winter in DC.

Reminds me of my sister taking me to school in her Honda Accord in the late '80s. It was one of the only things she listened to that I actually liked at the time.

Jane's Addiction's Nothing Shocking is a Portland, Ore., album for me.
Luna's Penthouse reminds me of Dewey Beach summer of '95 when I subjected all those Miller Lite cheeseballs to it.
I listened to Grandaddy's Sumday constantly while traveling in Cambodia and whenever I put it on, I'm totally transported back there, which is much cheaper than United Airlines.
For some strange reason whenever I listen to OH NO! IT'S DEVO I think about Santa Anna, CA. I had to take the bus there a couple of times to go to some employment training center. I had just gotten the tape of OH NO! I remember that after I left the job center I walked all around downown Santa Anna listening to that. Go figure.
Yield - Pearl Jam…reminds me of my time in Europe. I bought Yield while in Paris and listened to it as I traveled to Amsterdam by train. I'll never forget listening to "Low Light" while looking out the window and seeing huge fields of tulips in a variety of colors.
Fear - Toad the Wet Sprocket…takes me back to high school in Baltimore County.
Gold - Ryan Adams…reminds me of my trip to Boston about a month after 9/11 and my old apartment in DC.
Songs for the Deaf - QOTSA…2003, seeing the band 8 times that year, meeting some really cool fans up and down the East Coast and shaking Nick Oliveri's hand. :o

Thee Hypnotics -Come Down Heavy – The front porch in the summertime in Richmond Va 1990.
Husker Du - Zen Arcade – My bedroom 1985-1987.
Cop Shoot Cop - Ask Questions Later – My apartment on Arch Street in Philly, 1994-95. Dark times for me….
Rhinestone Cowboy by Niel Diamond - Bethany Beach 1977 or so??
That's a few.

Depeche Mode's cover of Route 66 and whatever album that was on will forever remind me of the main drag there in Ocean City. I spent a couple of summers out there and that song came out during one of them. We all piled into my raggedy convertible and drove up and down the strip (Coastal Highway?) for hours, and videotaped ourselves crusing the strip and acting like goofy teenagers.
Any Creedence Clearwater Revival song reminds me of road tripping to Memphis many years ago. We took a side road and ended up driving parallell to the Mississippi, in the boondocks, blasting "Born on the Bayou" which worked on so many levels.

This song kicks so much ass.

London Calling always takes me back to college, when we used to put the speakers in the window of my dorm and go outside to play Frisbee.
Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon - Lying down in the back of the family minivan driving from Chicago to Peoria during the holidays.
Fugazi In On the Killtaker - DC in the summer of '93…summer after my high school graduation. A great time for that album to come out…and great shows before going off to college.
Built to Spill Perfect from Now On - Lying on the couch in my dorm room in South Bend, Indiana going in and out of sleep while sick with a cold…I had the advance cassette of it and didn't realize that I listened to the album 3x because the cassette kept automatically flipping sides when one finished.

Running to Stand Still - U2
In Marin County north of San Fran doing a training course for a new job. Absolutely hating it. The song is about a friend being a heroin junkie, but the words just sounded like my situation in this stupid job. Listened over and over. Come back to my hotel room after a day of stupid classes and hear on the radio that U2 is playing a free show in San Franciso the next day at the Embarcadero. Made up some lie, skipped the training class, and went to see the free show. Can't hear that song without remembering the…..kismet of those few days.
