Got any songs that just take you back to another place and time?

Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell I and II always remind me of being squashed in the back of a Fiat Panda when I was younger.

Also one of my very first memories is of my mum listening to songs like Crazy by Seal and Losing My Religion by R.E.M. on the radio while exercising. I must have been about 4-5 at the time.

Where did I read about Neil Peart listening to all his albums in chronological order to see what memories came back?

Don MacLeans 'American Pie' album and The Shadows "String of Hits" (in particular "Riders in the Sky") and to an equal degree the Sky - Best Of" albums all take me back to making model cars with my father when I was 6 or 7. We'd start after tea on the dining table under the poky light, and I'd put on the music while he got all the parts out.

Good times...

This album takes me back to my senior year of highschool, cranking it in my car so loud i blew out a speaker.

Memories of a wide-eyed little boy glued to the TV watching Cozy Powell play and proudly proclaiming "Mum, I'm going to be a drummer!"

Emmylou Harris's take on "two more bottles of wine" reminds me of when I was a wee 5 yr old sitting at the top of the stairs supposedly in bed asleep, listening to my folks rehearse with their band in the living room .... Man they rocked...

(Wonder why I was never allowed to sit in the room with them)

, I think they must have known I was sat up there all night, quick exit back into my bedroom to avoid toilet users hehe

I hear that song and I'm automatically back to 8th grade. I swear, that song would come on the radio almost everyday after school on the way home for quite a while, and I loved it every time.

So, what songs and memories do you have running together?

I have a lot of memories of this song too (haunting song; was my favorite at one point). In fact, I was just listening to Audioslave.

For me, "Blowin' Free" by Wishbone Ash and Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain" do this; my father used to play these a lot when I was little.

And pretty much any of U2's 80's hits take me back to 4th grade, when I was first getting into music.
