Because of my peculiar affliction, about ANY song from at least 1971-1979 makes me wax nostalgic. I'll hear, say, Edward Bear's "Last Song" & it's an instant trip back to early spring '73. I dunno what makes me do it, it just happens, & I'll be damned if I know how to shut it off.-Sandy G.

Tenderness - General Public
Forever Young - Alphaville
A-Ha - Take on me

For some strange reason I feel nostalgic for the 80's.

Sting-Russians, Summer of '85, it was a make out tune. I was odd, she was hot, so it worked. :D
Elton John-Crocodile Rock, used to sing it with an old girl friend.
Denise Williams-Let's hear it for the Boy, she used to sing it to me :yes:

Phil Collins-Take Me Home, Sussudio, seemed to always be in my tape deck on the way home from a date with my eventual wife.
Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms album, also usually on as I raced home from a date with my eventual wife. I Want My MTV was always playing as I rounded the corner for home. I had it timed to a science. And that would be the actual corner to my street, not those other corners, those were usually rounded during a George Micheal song.

It's hard to beat Maggot Brain by Funkadelic, for those who lived in Cleveland, Ohio during the the 1970's, it was a 1:15am Sunday morning institution on WMMS FM (Home of the Buzzard) when driving home two sheets under the wind!! :scratch2:

Well, HERE'S an odd one-but y'all know how I am, anyway-"Single Saddle" by Vaughan Monroe from 1948-49. When I was a kid, I'd raid my parents' record collection, & THIS was on a 45-prolly some of the 1st 45s. IIRC, it was the backside of "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Would give my EYETEETH to get a copy now-I pretty much trashed the original.-Sandy G.

"Ghost Riders in the Sky", whoa! Wasn't that an instrumental? That was a tune that every kid learning how to play guitar had to know when I was growing up.

"More Than a Feeling", Boston. Rock. From their eponymously-titled debut album released in 1976.
"Free Man in Paris", Joni Mitchell. Folk-Pop. From "Court and Spark", 1974.

I feel a wave of high school nostalgia coming on.
