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?

Vermonter, your choices pretty much sum it up for me.

I suppose I'd embarrassingly add Boston “More Than a Feeling” and Journey “Lights”. Those songs (and the albums they're from) are still guilty pleasures for me.

Tvad,

I remember the night I first heard Boston on WKQQ in Lexington, KY. They had a great weekly album hour. When "More than a feeling" came on for the first time, I simply couldn't believe it! I thought it was incredible. I loved the whole album and went out to buy it the next day.

Enjoy,

TIC

this is definitely a group of guys from the 60's/70's. There are so many for me, some already listed above. Here's a few more that aren't yet.

Chicago - "25 or 624" (actually the whole CTA album)
Eric Clapton - "Layla"
The Doors - "Riders on the Storm"
Boz Scaggs - "Loan Me a Dime"
Genesis - "Musical Box", "Lamb Lies down . . .", "Supper's Ready"
Elton John - "Madman Across the Water"

definitely not all of them . . .
