Black muddy river - Grateful dead
I listen to a ton of music, but it seems that very few songs hit me emotionally the ways these ones do.
1) Lover, You Should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley
To this day it saddens me that his life ended so early. He was an amazing artist.
2) To Wish Impossible Things - The Cure
Quite possibly the ultimate breakup song. The words themselves are poetry and the musical composition is stark, haunting, and goes straight for the heart.

Kelv I could be your twin as all of these songs bring back memories, good and bad.
I have Fade Into You as my ring tone and it was an online ex's and my song.
I used to also nearly come to tears, everytime I heard Eleanor Rigby - Beatles
I was a very lonely kid when it came out.
Other songs are for me:
One - Three Dogs Night Another very lonely song from my childhood.
White Bird - It's A Beautiful Day
A Nation Once Again - Derek Warfield of the Wolfe Tones
I always smile at hearding You are My Sunshine, because Jonwin sang the song to me every morning when we started slepping together. He has a way of making you feel loved with a corny song.
Lately I've listening to Joni Mitchell's Blue Album two to three times a day.

Neph's Danger Zone comment actually reminded me of another. Tom Cochran's cheesy song, "Life is a Highway". One evening in college, my roommate and I saw some episode of Baywatch where they were dirtbike racing with that song playing. The next day, we rented Road Rash (a motorcycle racing game) for the Sega Genesis and, of course, had to sing that damn song constantly the whole night. Of course, all we knew was "Life is a highway; I'm gonna ride it.. all night long" so we just sang those two lines over and over.
Now I can't hear it without laughing and remembering college life.

It reminds me of the day I popped out of my mother's womb fully exposed and screamed "Hey world, here I am!". It was also the first and last time I saw my *****. *tear*

So many songs, so little time. I guess I'll try to do this chronologically, starting from my earliest memories - most likely I'll just mention bands since there will probably be too many songs to remember...
Any Beatles, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Beach Boy and the Who songs - I was raised on them. The tragedy of Buddy Holly and his genius still haunts me. Later on, I felt the same way about Richie Valens and what he could have accomplished.
Seasons in the Sun - by Terry Jacks - Not in the proper context, but I had the biggest crush on a girl named Michelle in my neighborhood. I must have been around 11 or 12 at the time.
Any Cheap Trick song - I sang along with every song at the top of my voice, using a tennis racket as my guitair before I finally was able to get guitar lessons.
Boston - I jammed along with the first two albums all day long on many weekends.
Electric Light Orchestra - different and cool.
Blondie, Cars, B-52s (Cosmic Thing is still fresh to me), Sex Pistols, The Clash - pretty much any/all punk/new wave songs that still hold up.
I'll Melt With You - Modern English - my idealistic romanticism was at full blast at this point (i.e., got my freak on every chance I could).
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush - sung from the perspective of a dead chick's ghost - awesome!
Anything by Elvis Costello
Stop Me If You Think You Heard This One Before - The Smiths - another great groove with a hint of haunting
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana - I was in the navy at the time - it unleashed my rock out beast that was within...
Would by Alice in Chains. Hell, the whole Dirt album. Layne Staley had an amazing voice.
Infected and 21st Century Digital Boy - Bad Religion
Found Out About You - Gin Blossoms - awesome song, definitely dredges up many of my regrets...also really loved Hey Jealousy
Sweetness and The Middle - Jimmy Eat World - Awesome album overall. What is it with these Arizona bands? They rock!
Red Hot Chili Peppers - all their stuff is amazing, but really got me hooked was the Californication album.
Heck, there are too many to add!
If anyone has VH1 Classic on their cable, check out their weekend lineups - they have this Classic Concert series with folks like Heart (had guys from Alice in Chains and other singers play their music), Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper. It's actually a cool trip down memory lane. I'm still blown away by how awesome Ann and Nancy Wilson can still rock out.

100 Years (Five for Fighting) has similar overtones.
Ok yeah, that one gets me a little choked up to, even if they *did* use it in a credit card commercial. Also "Only You" by Yaz.
I'm so sappy it's really disgusting.

God I love Boston, especially Foreplay - Long Time. Wish I had a record player so's I could fire up these old vinyls. Bunch of Billy Joels in there too; Piano Man is a favorite.

It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells

Blood of Eden - Peter Gabriel
The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice(you'll probably know it as the song playing at the end of the film Closer)
Was running late meeting the significant other for dinner. This song was playing when I walked in noticed her over in the corner just looking drop dead beautiful in her dress.
Anywhere But Here - Rise Against
This came on after the last girlfriend and I had a huge explosion and broke up. Came on just as she screamed f[black][/black]uck you in her suburban neighborhood. Can't help but smile when I hear it now.
Kashmir - Led Zepplin
This was playing the first time I hit ye olde bong.
Butterflies Instead - K's Choice
The song that was on when the one that got away, in fact, got away.
Hurt - Johnny Cash
A friend overdosed on heroin and died. The song is just creepy with how well it describes things. Always makes me think about him when I hear it, bringing a tear to the eye.

That was indeed a good song. Although it's not attached to any particular memory of mine, I still think it was pretty powerful as Cash reflected on his life as he neared death. I thought the video was very moving as well.
Nice Tare, I haven't heard Birdhouse in Your Soul in years. I have the CD somewhere but I'll be damned if I know where.
Cash is still one of the most underrated performers in recent memory. It's amazing to me how many people have never heard anything by Johnny Cash. My best friend's girlfriend took him to see Walk the Line and at the end asked him if Johnny Cash was a real guy or fictional. No, I'm not kidding, but here favorite singer is Avril Lavigne so that says something there

I'm a sucker for any type of unrequited love song. His voice is lovely. They've been playing "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt alot on the radio and I die a little everytime I hear it, haha.

I just like alot of simple songs. No big background to detract from the voice singing. I would rather listen to something from Damien Rice or another artist along the same vein than most of the cookie-cutter music that's out now.
