What song turns back the clock?


One of the joys of life is memory...we need to exercise it to keep it in tune.

I find myself standing before the CD rack, looking for songs that had a special meaning from many years ago...or just bring back a smile as remember them in the context of my youth.

Some of them are:

Supertramp--School
Alan Parsons--The Raven
Elton John--Love Lies Bleeding and Funeral for a Friend
David Bowie--Rebel Rebel
Billy Joel--Captain Jack
Genesis--Dance on a Volcano

So, what are the songs that turn back your clock?

Another WMMS guy. Late night hearing "Maggot Brain" or Alex Harvey's "Man in the Jar".
"Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" from "Who's Next" College - girl I had a crush on - her favorite album. Wound up marrying her....

"Pleasant Valley Sunday" by The Monkees. Thought the Monkees were the coolest, hippest thing around then.

All of "Dark Side Of The Moon" while sitting in a meadow on a dark night with my HS girlfriend, trunk open, Pink Floyd playing, drinking cheap beer, staring at the stars, while waiting for the other "recreationals" to kick in. July 1973.
I wonder where she is now?

Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" played by Fredrich Gulda over and over again while watching a total lunar eclipse on a crystal clear night. This was in the middle of a freshly mown hay field in West Virginia in the summer of 1983. With my wife and our best friends.

Great thread! Really triggered some wonderful musical/temporal memories!
I guess this is where my age shows...lol
