Walkman FlashbacksThere 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.

Number of the Beast, by the mighty Iron MaidenI remember hearing this on a compilation tape before I got into the whole metal thing. Must have been in 86 or so, Master of the Puppets was just out.
Anyway, I listened to this on the walkman and I could not understand a single word! I remember thinking, "How the HELL can anyone call this music, it's just noise!"
A few weeks later with a metal chick girlfriend I was letting my hair grow and headbanging to Metallica and Megadeth. I've never forgotten that weird, grandfather-style moment though. I know exactly where I was and everything, I'd just crossed a field on the way home from my mates house and stopped at a gap in a hedge, rewinding it over and over trying to 'get' it. And it's not even like it's that heavy at all . . .
