Do you have songs that are "ruined" for you?

I was listening to my MP3 player this weekend and I decided to just put it on play all and not skip anything.

And I found myself going seriously down memory lane.

There are so many songs I have on there that IMMEDIATELY wisked me back to a particular time, place or event.

Some are pleasant, like our wedding song.

Some are not so nice, like the ENTIRE Achtung Baby album, which I love, but puts me back to a very bad time in my life in a very bad relationship.

Do you have certain songs that have been forever linked with a bad event and are therefore "ruined" for you?

If so, what?

It's a Beautiful Day by U2 was ruined for me after every morning Saks Fifth Avenue played it as it opens it doors. EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Headlight by the Wallflowers

Like a Prayer, Madonna.

Til the End of the Road, Boys II Men

Criminal, Fiona Apple.

And plenty more.

Yes! totally going back to the late 80's early 90's (very bad relationship)

Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You
Kiss - Beth (my skin literally crawls when I hear this song)

Every now and then I hear this song on the Radio: Sherrif - When I'm With You. Just brings me back to a REALLY bad time in my life.

Dave Matthews Band is ruined for me. I always liked them in college and went to a few concerts but DH made fun of me so much for liking them, that I can't listen to them anymore wiithout feeling like a total loser.

The irony of it all is that HE actually went out and bought one of their cds recently.

big pun dont wanna be a playa -not a big loss but it has to do with an ex bf who used to call me "pun"

Mr. Jones by Counting Crows just disturbs me. Even typing it out like that brings me back to one of the worst nights of my life.

My old boyfriend ruined every Beatle song for a long time. In fact my DJ was instructed not to play any Beatles songs. It's only been in the last year that I've started to appreciate them again.

He's also ruined Actung Baby after telling me that every song lyric reminded me of him after we broke up.

Re: Do you have songs that are "ruined" for you?

Say A Prayer- Duran Duran
Stripped- Depeche Mode
Why Should I Cry For You- Sting

I loved these songs. they were kinda used against me...now when I hear them, my skins crawls...literally crawls and I want to kill someone.

Say A Prayer was my favorite song growing up. It meant a lot to me...and I feel it was "stolen"

don't mess with my music LOL

if dh and I were ever to divorce, there are so many songs inextricably linked to him...I don't know what I would do.

I would never be able to listen to another U2 song. ever. and Sting...my precious Sting would be gone too.

I'd have to start listening to country music or something
