No matter what music we go on to love as adults, it's the songs we hear in our youth that leave their magic with us forever. Even the albums we hated as a teen can leave a powerfully permanent mark.
Take No Jacket Required, for instance. When I was going to high school in the mid 80s I hated this album..."One More Night" to be specific. Its sad, mopey sounds for years reminded me of this horrible unrequited crush I had on someone with whom I'd had less of a chance than I would have had with a movie star.
It wasn't until I started making new memories that I realized you can break the bonds bad memories make so clearly with certain music.
