Which songs/albums take you back to college?


Some of my most vivid memories are from my college years and certain albums/songs really transport me back in time. Just curious what those may be for you.

1. Pearl Jam - Ten. Nothing defines my college experience more than this, nothing. Every song has a special meaning.

2. Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger. Lots of drinking happened to this album, memories a little fuzzy.

3. Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy. New romance.

4. Tool - Undertow. I'm really sick of college (esp electromagnetics) at this point and this album lets me rage.

Freshman year, some guy down the hall in my dorm played "Lady" by Styx (or was it Kansas?) over and over at high volume. I still shudder whenever I hear it.

Bob Seger (Live Bullet) was always in rotation in Michigan. The first Boston album was released just as I left for school. Talking Heads, Genesis, Springsteen, The Who, Rod Stewart, Patti Smith, Sly Stone and a bunch of others, including Elvis, played locally -Ann Arbor, Detroit and/or Pontiac- and were always heard a lot after the shows took place. Sometimes a song on the radio will recall one of those performances. Same deal with George Thorogood.
