I'll start.
Ballad of the thin man-Bob Dylan.
EDIT: sorry bout that,
well let's see... throughout my life my family has gone on a multitude of road trips which ussually entailed being stuffed into a suburban and later a navigator with my three sisters, one brother, and both parents for days on end. During these trips my mother was always the undisputed controller of the music. bob dylan, among others is one of the artists frequently played in the car by my mother, sop quite simply I like it because I grew up with it.

I might propose that we go with the original idea that EUOL had when he started this thread in the first place: this is not for a cool song. It's for putting in your entire playlist, suffling it, and hitting next. Then you tell us what came up and why you have the song or why you like it.
Phish - "You Enjoy Myself"
I got into Phish in the first couple years of the 1990s when I was working at Subway. We had a manager who spoke close to 0 ENglish and he always left around 3pm. Leaving hte lot of us alone for the evening, when we would listen to whatever we wanted. Some of the guys were big Phish heads. So I purchased myself a copy of Junta. Still like a lot of their stuff (I own "Rift" too) but not enough to go psycho over them (just psycho enough to rip all the stuff to mp3 and keep it on my computer).

"Wonderwall" by Oasis
I love this one-hit wonder. It brings up memories of early high school years, which had their ups and downs. But this song seems to be associated with happy memories, even though it's not necessarily a very happy song.
"And all the roads that lead you there are winding..."

It's strange how my picture of meat actually looks like my face, or at least parts of my face. I tell ya, adolescent acne is really a downer.

I will forever wonder how much of that was Rak's original post, and how much was altered/added by Skar.
"Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums" by A Perfect Circle.
I like the song's strong beat and social commentary. It seems as though many groups would make our choices for us, for our own good, and many people are quite happy with that.

Jake Shimabukuro, "Gently Weeps"
Jake is a 'ukulele player. He's like the Joe Satriani of the 'ukulele. He's incredibly awesome. I picked him up at Borders yesterday because I'd heard a little bit of him on NPR a few weeks ago (God bless NPR). Jake inherits not only the Hawaiian musical tradition but also is a devotee of music written for guitar, much of which translates well, especially music written by one George Harrison, who always carries around a 'ukulele wherever he went. Jake theorizes that "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was actually written on the 'ukulele.

Right this minute: Fleetwood Mac Silver Springs
I have it because quite simply I like them. I prefer the songs that Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham write, but there are some that I like that Christine McVie wrote.
The song makes me remember a friend who was murdered in Texas about seven years ago, and even though the memories are good ones now, it still makes me cry sometimes.

The frustrating trill call of the office phone..

Kronos Quartet at the grave of Richard Wagner. I'm on a classical kick tonight, and going to follow it up with some Béla Bartók.
