The green and blue albums do that for me too. Takes me back to the summer after senior year, doing nothing but playing hockey and fishing. Life was so much simpler than.Quote:

edit: What do we mean by 'anthem'? It seems like it has just turned into a list of favorite songs, to me an anthem would be a song to live by.
Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Saniterium - Metallica
I can't spell for shit but that is soooo wrong even I can see it. It is spelled Cigarette, and I am sick of having that band shoved up my ass just because they are from Pittsburgh.Quote:

baba o' for sure, also, from HS, these songs always bring me back to that time and place in my life, and were "anthems" at one point for me:

sympathy for the devil and rocks off - stones

Roadrunner -- Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers
Lust for Life -- (before Iggy pulled the ultimate Fuck You and licensed it to Carnival)
Green Onions -- Booker T. and the MGs
More Human than Human -- White Zombie
Can't you hear me Knockin' -- Stones
Willie the Pimp -- FZ
Anthems ? Dunno that implies singularity, but I do know I look for these on the iPod when something significant is happening or I need a little pumping up, distraction from the shitstorm or icing on the cake.
'I wanna rock' - Twisted Sister: the scene in 'Road Trip' where they use this gives me that great feeling that I love having where at that moment everything is awesome and there's nothing to worry about; happens a lot during road trips actually.
Phil Collins, Hall & Oates, Chicago: lame stuff like that reminds me of being a little kid in my parents' or uncle's boat and not how bad the music is.
