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.

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.

I didn't want this to degenerate into a "Albums I got Stoned To" -thread, but the Grateful Dead's song Alabama Getaway always makes me think about tripping my balls off in Brookfield, IL.  A friend of mine was a big Deadhead & had just bought that Go To Heaven album.  I don't particularly like the Grateful Dead, but I remember that tune.

billy idol's mony mony will forever remind me of my summer in jerusalem. 1991. at all the clubs whenever it was played, the israeli soldiers would always be yelling, 'hey motherfucker yeah you, suck my balls off'. i cant hear that song now and not think those lyrics.
 
 anything from abba reminds me of being 6 and going to ballet with my best friend in novato, california. her mom used to always play them as loud as possible, usually while attempting to pick up hitchhikers. now those were some interesting times.
