Walkman Flashbacks
There you are innocently going about your day when suddenly a particular song transports you back to a specific time and place.
For me, Animotion's Obssession instantly brings back the fear and nerves of school exams. And you? Tell us all about it.

Street Spirit : Radiohead
I was driving back from work on New-Years Eve 1996, when the radio was doing a flashback of the year’s big stories. In March of that year, an evil little f*cker called Thomas Hamilton walked into a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland and fired 105 rounds into a class of thirty 4-6 year olds, killing fifteen and one adult.
Whilst the spokesperson from the Snowdrop trust calmly spoke the names of the children and the manner of their deaths, the radio played Street Spirit by Radiohead, a song up until that moment that I loved.
Eleven years later, I can't hear that track without being transported to a stationary car on the hard shoulder of the A3 and my uncontrollable sobbing.
Apologies for distinct lack of humour...
