When i was a kid, I'd spend HOURS reading comics with my tape deck playing in the background. As such, certain songs/albums remind me directly of certain books :
Metallica - Ride the Lightning : That album, whenever I hear it, reminds me of the "Death Head II" series from the early 90's, simply because I got those books and that record around the same time. Whenever I hear "Trapped Under Ice" or "Escape", I can't help but think of DH2 and Killpower, and the over-all wackiness of those books.
Metallica - Master of Puppets : That record, to me, will always remind me of the self-titled X-men series and X-force. I remember always listening to it as I picked up the new issues of both series, so, when i hear Hetfield on that record, the first images I think of is artwork from Jim lee and Rob Liefeld.
Areosmith - Greatest Hits vol 1 : This one is Spawn, hands down. I was big into this greatest hits comp durening the first run of Spawn, and it reminds me, specifically, of the first 10-12 issues of the book.
Suicidal Tendencies - Still Cyco After All These Years : This one got played a lot when I was first getting into The Maxx, so Mike Muir and crew's remake still conjures images of Maxx and Julie and a horde of Ises.
Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction : I think i got super into this record a year or so after it came out, and I know i was listening to it hardcore when "Fatal Attractions" came out, so that really stands out.
Faith No more - The Real Thing : Summer '93. I got this album the SAME day that i got Spider-man Unlimited #1, so, for me, this will always be the "Maximum Carnage" album. "Surprise! You're Dead!" might as well have been Carnage's theme song for me.
The only more recent one that comes directly to mind is Nekromantix' "Dead Girls Don't Cry" record and "The Goon". I was listening to that record when i picked up the first Goon TPB about 2 years or so ago, so those ones are connected in my mind.
What albums/songs do you associate with specific comics due to personal experience?
