As I mentioned in my post, I think there are many variables including place, circumstance, people, time, and so on. Time is a huge factor especially taking into consideration the hit charts and radio play as well as other factors relating to media and promotions. There are so many songs I now relate to MTV play (back when they used to play Music videos). Also there are TV shows where songs were debuted (whenever I here Steely Dan's "Reeling in the Years" I think of my first encounter with the group and song on the show Midnight Special back in the 70's) or movies or elsewhere. <br /><br />I connect Jan and Dean or Tijuana Brass with 1964-1965, The Allman Brothers with 1972, Depeche Mode with 1985-1990. The time fo the music is a huge factor for evoking specific memories and events and people.<br /><br />You have some great song picks here, some that I'm very familiar with while others vaguely so. Particularly "Leather and Lace" strikes a chord as early in 1982 was when my second wife and I got married. We were going to have a female friend from our show and another male friend of mine sing that song at the wedding, but then things turned such that she couldn't be there because she had to stay with the show and my male friend didn't feel capable of singing the high notes. We were listening to that album a lot back then.<br /><br />In 1982 the World's Fair was in Knoxville Tn and we did get to attend. That was exciting. At the end of 1982 is when our first daughter was born. It was an exciting and wonderfully eventful year for me filled with music and wonderful memories.<br /><br />Thanks for the mention and glad I inspired this post for you. I enjoy traveling in the musical time machine.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
