I remember back in 76 it was Dillinger "Cocaine in my brain" and Donna Summer "I feel love " that seemed to be playing all over town.
Last year 2 by Peter Bjorn John -"Amsterdam" and "The Chills"

Amsterdam by Guster

My friend's band likes to plays this and I always have this kind of home-sick feeling when I hear it.

The theme tune from an old British TV series called Van der Valk.

Second best theme tune in the world ever (after Doctor Who obviously)

The Dutchman sung by Steve Goodman
I got to meet him many years ago. VERY nice guy ! He had a HUGE talent
He passed away many years ago from Leukemia

I sing it every time I am in the city and remember Steve

First thing i thought when i saw this thread.
A while ago someone(boner?) posted a link to a HD vid of 'dam on Vimeo. The track on that was perfect. Portishead, possibly j'oublie.

Kevin Ayers - stranger in blue suede shoes.

Its old school, but possibly the best stoner song of all time. I got into this when I first started going out to the dam in the early 80's, and for me the spirit of the song perfecty captures the spirit of Amsterdam.
