...of a good or bad time in your life, a friend, an enemy, the first time you got laid, etc. "For No One" by the Beatles. Listened to that a lot after my first wife left me.
First girlfriend, first kiss (eventually): Octopus's Garden. Most recent girlfriend, still painful (she liked this song): Fix you.
"Hard Luck Woman" by KISS and the "Go!Speed Racer" are equally very important songs in the long, complicated oldfella story.
Summertime - Janis Joplin Devil's Haircut - Beck Just Like Heaven - The Cure Kiss Me Deadly - Lita Ford Hoodoo - Muse Ain't Going Down til the Sun Comes Up - Garth Brooks There are so many, but these are a few off the top of my head that just instantly bring be back to specific times/places.

November Rain got me through my first real serious breakup. In My Life was played at my wedding.Touch of Grey was the first music video I ever saw and it’s what got me into the Dead. Somewhere Over the Rainbow was my mom’s favorite song and was played at her funeral. Gone Away reminds me of my friend who died. Self Esteam, the story of my life.
