Pursuit of Happiness

Anything by Boston. They weren't even one of my favorite bands growing up. But now when I hear anything from their first album, I'm transported to my childhood again.
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by The Platters (Early sixties)
Two Paul McCartney songs:
"Silly Love Songs"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIF4v43rJXw
and
"With a Little Luck"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EZ7v0duYjI
"Silly Love Songs" reminds me of a class trip to an amusement park at the end of 8th grade. The world was still bright and new, the idea of love so untarnished, and the future was a wonderful adventure.
"With a Little Luck" reminds me of riding the school bus during my sophomore year in high school to the "Icebreaker Invitational" track meet. My sudden success in running had changed my whole world, and I had a bunch of new teammates and friends. Good times.
1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins

Nice. I love that song, too.
"Club can't handle me" takes me back to high school for some odd reason.

I was also 13 when it came out; good times. I really like that whole album, but "1979" is the one that really gets me with the nostalgia. I like that the song is about Billy Corgan being nostalgic for when he was 12.

1958 was release but got a lot of party and school dance play up until the Brits came and beyond.
nice pick
the 1933 version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPQxSUHtJwwScenes From an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel. The song came out while I was in high school, and the song itself addresses nostalgia, so it's a song about nostalgia that makes me nostalgic.
There are several songs that make me think of a certain time or group of people I hung with, but two in particular give me that sense far and above the any of the others.
Def Leppard's Photograph and Peter Gabriel's Games Without Frontiers always bring me back to the summer between 8th and 9th grades. Was trying really hard to get tickets to see DL's Pyromania tour, but they sold out so fast. Called in to radio stations, entered contests. It was to no avail. I listened to those songs so much, they became synonymous with that time. A little schmaltzy, but might have been one of my favorite summers as a kid.
Everyone should say their age as well for context.
The two that immediately came to mind were 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins (already mentioned) and Island in the Sun by Weezer.
I'm 28.
Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. Sounds of my early childhood.
