Stolen from L's blog

What song reminds you of your father? Of your mother?
My mother... well Take Me Home Country Road by Bob Denver - she used to sing that to me when I was really small and anything by The Manhattan Transfer, Kenny G or Yanni. She loved all of them. She would listen to them on Sunday morning on the back porch while she read the paper with her cat (named Yanni). My father... Inna-godda-davida - Iron Butterfly, I know he really likes that song. My former step-father, well any piece of crap by Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac or Moody Blues. Sheesh he used to listen to that All The Freaking Time! I hated them long before I disliked the man, now the songs make me want to vomit because they remind me of him. (although I like the Dixie Chicks version of Landslide - much better than the original)

What song reminds you of your sibling(s)?
My sister who is closest to me - this song by the Carpenters, it's something like 'On the day that you were born, the angels got together...' I don't know the name, I always call it the locust song (don't ask me why, makes me think of locust). D always sings that to me on my b-day. :oP Carol King's Tapestry album makes me think of her also. My brother, theres an old song by Yaz (of course it's old if it's by them), I can't remember what song it was, but I was visiting once and he had my walkman (ohhh remember thoes, just played the radio and tapes!), he was singing along to that song. He is sooooooo tone deaf I made him promise that he would NEVER sing along to that song again. hehehe...
My oldest sister and my step sister, well I really don't know them enough to associate a song with them.

What song reminds you of elementary school?
hehehehe... this made me laugh when I thought of it. Angel In The Centerfold by J Giles. It reminds me of my last year in elementary school walking home with my best friend singing that song.

What song reminds you of Jr. High?
Duran Duran! Anything by Duran Duran!

What song reminds you of high school?
Hmmm... early HS - Dokken - they did the song for that years Nightmare On Elm Street movie - 'In my dreams your still the same, your love is strong it still remains...' It also reminds me of this guy I had a major thing for, he had a thing for me, but some higher power kept us apart - thankfully - he was a scum! Later in highschool - The Cure - anything by The Cure, The Smiths, Echo and The Bunnymen, Psychadelic Furs (but of course!). Guns and Roses also - 'Welcome To The Jungle' - one of my friends could do an impression of Axel Rose that would crack everyone up (of course we were usually drunk when he did it). And who could forget George Michael 'I Want Your Sex'.

What song reminds you of college?
U2 "Rattle & Hum". I remember that came out when I was in college. I remember someone talking about going to see a U2 Concert once while I was waiting on class to start. I wasn't really in to U2 right then, I thought they had gotten to commercial. EVERYBODY liked them, EVERYBODY played them (to death). And I remember when the Zoo TV tour happened. I thought that was so stupid. Funny thing, I really like U2 now.

What song reminds you of the happiest time of your life?
Hmmm.. not so much a song as a genre of music. Swing music. It reminds me of when hubby and I took swing dance lessons. I loved that so much and we had so much fun. Every thing in our life was going so well.

What CD are you currently listening to, or did you last listen to? Is it from a genre you listened to as a teenager?
I've been listening to Everclear and disk 1 of Jesus Christ Superstar. Yeah I know, real happy stuff. I like it though. I get stuck on a CD I really like and will listen to it until I can't stand to hear it for a month or so. I listened to BNR's Gordon so much I can't listen to the whole CD anymore.

What CD in your collection would your teenage/younger self laugh at?
Anything that is my husbands HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

What CD/artist did you love when you were younger that you now cringe at?
Bon Jovi

Bonus question: what band most deserves a tribute album? What current artists should cover their songs?
(copying L here)Not a clue. I worry about my favorite artists getting screwed by the cover artists.
