Going to pick songs that I recall at the time, so appropriate memories to go with them - A lot of good songs you find out retrospectively, especially the 60's - And/or maybe you didn't like at the time - Who liked Chic in the 70's ?

60's - Roger Miller - King of the Road 
70's - George McCrae - Rock your baby
80's - Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
90's - No Doubt - Don't speak

Timcito

Tombstone Blues - Bob Dylan
Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield
Too Much Blood - Stones
Man on the Moon - REM

P.S. Just watched the 'official video' of Too Much Blood. Man, that must be one the stupidest pop videos ever made - a cheap rip-off of 'Thriller' in which Jagger and Richards look perfectly ridiculous. I never saw that when the song came out. I was living in Madrid, and when this song pounded out of the speakers at nightclubs there, I was solid gone ...

My Girl
Born To Run
Purple Rain (or With or Without You, preferably a live version)


90s is hard. I wrote the first 3 down immediately and haven't wavered in an hour with this thread open... Everlong / Velvet Morning / Heart Shaped Box / If It Makes You Happy / Torn (yes I mean that one song by Natalie Imbruglia) 

EDIT: oh shit I just remembered Soul Man and Sittin on the Dock of the Bay exist...

90s is hard. 

The whole thing is harder than you think it would be. I need to have a think.

Also, no  shit but I was in the shop half an hour back and they were playing With or Without You. Not even a U2 version.

I'd only just got rid so thanks for planting that back

maharg101

60s - Fire - Jimi Hendrix Experience 
70s - Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin 
80s - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica 
90s - Richard III - Supergrass

That is a class track, in fact that LP is one of my favourite guitar listens.
