** Nostalgia **

We've all got those songs. Those ones that when you hear them, you stop dead in your tracks, your eyes gloss over, you look through the wall and are more vulnerable to being hit by a bus than ever.
I usually listen to either old school metal, classic rock or reggae (i know, i'm wierd, but life's much more fun this way). But when i hear these songs, they do wierd things to me. I can't explain it. I'm also the kind of person that when i hear a really good song that i like, i tend to make a copy of it and play it over and over and over again until i burn out. But that little ember stays deep down there and never really goes out (like it does in some people and they end up hating the song) so i can still appreciate it when i hear it again. Without further ado:

Dave Loggins -- "Please Come to Boston"

Michael Knott -- "Cast Me Away"

Pearl Jam (Hunters & Collectors) -- "Throw Your Arms Around Me"

Gordon Lightfoot -- "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

Kansas -- "Dust in the Wind"

The Comsat Angels -- "I'm Falling"

Cracker -- "Another Song about the Rain"

Iron Maiden -- "Strange World"

Buffalo Springfield -- "For What It's Worth"

Rolling Stones -- "Dead Flowers"

Jimi Hendrix -- "Isabella"

Paul Newman -- "Plastic Jesus"

Jeff Buckley (Leonard Cohen) -- "Hallelujah"

Ministry -- "Stigmata" and "So What"

Yes, some of them are cliche but it's how i get by. And there are others, but they don't come to mind just now. Let me know if you need help finding a copy of any of these.
