Eight years old?  Yikes.  I think I was...crap...23 when that came out....

Most songs that really stab me pretty badly are for the most horribly sort of High Fidelity-ish, ex-girlfriend mixtape reasons, it's pretty damn shameful.  Aside from those...

I remember driving around Ontario country side getting Christmas trees when I was in High School with my dad and brother while listenting to Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden.  We all loved Drawing Flies and now listen to it every Christmas.  Totally inappropriate for a Christmas song but so what?

Caspian:
Songs with memories? Pretty much every Blink 182, Korn and Offspring song from the late 90's. Good memories of skating, surfing, crushes and youth and what not. I still find anything those guys do pretty hard to resist for that reason.

De_El:
"Close to Me" and "Lullaby" by the Cure remind me of being a little boy and seeing my sister's tape of Cure music videos. They were strange and kind of demented. I think there was some kind of squid involved in the "Close to Me" video, but it had a weird face.

Bardo Pond - "Green Man"

1999.  Drove up to Michigan to stay with a girl.  Instantly fell into mutual love.  Second day I was there, she went to work, I settled back into her very comfortable bed and got very high and listened to Lapsed all the way through for the first time.  When "Green Man" kicked in, I was in absolute bliss, and still to this day consider it a Perfect Moment.

There is another song connected with the same girl that happened later, but I'm saving it for later in the thread.

NB: Oh and she is the girl who finally convinced me to listen to Neutral Milk Hotel, who I hated, but grew to love after the third or fourth listen.
