Which songs/albums take you back to college?

Some of my most vivid memories are from my college years and certain albums/songs really transport me back in time. Just curious what those may be for you.

1. Pearl Jam - Ten. Nothing defines my college experience more than this, nothing. Every song has a special meaning.

2. Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger. Lots of drinking happened to this album, memories a little fuzzy.

3. Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy. New romance.

4. Tool - Undertow. I'm really sick of college (esp electromagnetics) at this point and this album lets me rage.

- Lots of friends were disco heads, but not me, so nothing in that camp
- One Burbon, one scotch, one beer
- UK - In the Dead of Night
- Jean Luc Ponty - anything from Enigmatic Ocean & Imaginary Voyage
- John McLaughlin & Mahavishnu Orchestra
- Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior

way too many more
