What songs makes you flashback?

[adrian]

My career development teacher just put on some boys to men songs, and some of the songs (if not all) has turned on some memories that I remembered when I first listend to those songs. Because of these flashbacks, I can't even do the assigned work. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/adri1456/smilies/k1ocray.gif

[Pomai]

Anything from the starting years of MTV (early 80's).

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
Prince - When Dove's Cry
Rush - Big Money
Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
...to name a few!

Also, my older sister cranking The Osmonds and Jackson Five albums over, and over and over and over. Drove me NUTS.

[alohabear]

Anything by C&K or Kalapana

[Menehune Man]

Anything by C&K or Kalapana

Same with me, Alohabear!
"You and Me" is my wife and I's song.
Also "Sailin' " !

I went to the 25th C&K reunion at the Zoo
and Kalapana's 30th at the Shell.

[lurkah]

Anything by C&K
Saturday night, March 2, 1974. Cecilio & Kapono's very first concert together at the Waikiki Shell. What an incredibly happy night of music that was. Getting loaded wasn't a matter of choice as the air was literally intoxicating from all the thick, second-hand pakalolo smoke. :D

[cezanne]

I get flashbacks whenever I listen to classic rock. C&K and Kalapana springs good memories too.

Lots of songs from the mid 60s through the 1970s... makes me think about events during my childhood and growing up. Too many song titles to mention, but I have some of them listed here (http://www.hawaiiradiotv.com/~archive/) and there. (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showthread.php?t=5106)

That one by Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band... a standard on classic rock radio these days and made more famous after it was used in the 1983 Tom Cruise movie Risky Business. Great song!

"I Touch Myself" was sledgehammered off one of our local radio stations (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showthread.php?t=550)... forever.

[kupomog]

Same lyrics, but I only knew the one done by the Divinyls.

And of course, none of my relatives bothered to stop me from singing it then or as I got older, they thought it was "cute."

Psychology experts say the songs that resonate most with us are the ones from our high-school years, due to that period of time being so critical in our early development into adulthood. That would explain why I most enjoy stuff from the early to mid 1970s.

However, since I didn't grow up in Hawai`i, I didn't hear the sounds of groups from that era, like Kalapana, Country Comfort, C+K, Olomana, Beamer Brothers, etc., until much later. When I did, it was like discovering a treasure chest of "lost" material that has that "sound," so it has a similar resonance for me.

Honolulu City Lights and Only good times by the Beamer Brothers. They remind me of the time when I left the islands to work in Kansas. Talk about listening to those songs and being homesick...

[Leo Lakio]

Can you guess how old I am? :)
Considering that this list closely matches much of my older brother's record collection (except for the Island songs), I'd say "yes - yes I can guess." You are probably about four years older than I. :cool:

I guess I'm lucky that I had a happy childhood, and thus my love for oldies music, The flashbacks brings back good memories.

I don't feel old! I don't even think I look old! And yet, I'm staring at my 47th birthday next month. I'm eyeing a retreat at Ampy's Spa!

[Leo Lakio]

OLD GUYS RULE!!!
Not only that, but I STILL get to work with music --- my whole professional career, since right out of high-school, has been in music; from local radio and record stores, to national radio production, to producing records, to programming, to performing --- and I'm 47, btw.

[1stwahine]

OLD GIRLS RULE...darn right we do! :D

...Just give me some old time Rock and Roll!!!! :p
