Phonographic Memory 

A person blessed with a Phonographic Memory has the ability to instantly recall and name the origin of sounds, chords, bass lines, drum fills, and guitar licks from the records he/she/they heard in their youth. Everybody recognizes the opening licks of "Satisfaction", but a person with Phonographic Memory "...can name that song in one note."

It is not the hearing of a train whistle and being reminded of the long summer evenings in Iowa. It is not recognizing a song being played faintly in the background of a Budweiser commercial. It is directly related to the graphic recording ( the LP or 45 rpm record, quite likely ) of those particular notes, and a instantaneous and pinpoint recognition of the song. Phonographic Memory (PM) is like muscle memory, as it is developed by repetition.

We gotta get Carlos on our team for this Trivia competition. The dude knows every song ever recorded! All he needs to hear is one note, and he can name it. He has Phonographic Memory!

phonographic memory 

For those too young to remember, music used to be distributed on vinyl records (commonly known as a "phonograph" record). These records were played using a needle that would pick up the inscribed spiral grooves in the disk and, with the use of an amplifier, emit from a set of speakers.

Inevitably these records would get a scratch in them causing the record to skip a groove. The result was that a few milliseconds of the song would be missed. As audio tradition would have it, the listener would end up memorizing the song and lyric precisely as it was played back...skip and all. This is referred to as phonographic memory.

Me: I remember this song...I had it on LP.

Her: Geeze. You're old.

Me: Quiet...here it comes...wait for it...

Her: What are you talking about?!

Me: My LP had a skip in it…and it skipped…right...THERE!

Her: It's amazing how much useless information you store in that head.

Me: What can I say? I have a phonographic memory.

Photographic Memory

The ability to to recall images or texts with unfailing accuracy. Lots of people think its fake, but I can confirm it is real I have it.

It is not fair, this kid doesn't study for tests because he has a photographic memory; he can memorize power points and textbook pages just by looking at them once.
