Songs that bring you back to a different/better place and time

[Witchit]

This song is for my mister, he has the same accent as these guys, northern England.



Also, the lead reminds me a bit of Tony Bennett.

Love this band, I have tix to see them. Tony Bennett though?

Hard to explain, just an impression I had the first 48 times I listened. Jealous on the tickets front! What's your favorite song by them?

 

[WheelieAddict]

Some 90's country that reminds me of great times

Who I would love to go see but could never afford the tickets ($150 per, last I saw) - this song is just perfection on the 'friend crush' front.

Listen to the opening.

My dad was raised dirt poor, and promised himself someday he'd have a Cadillac. He did that, then got a Lincoln.

Sometimes I think he's never forgotten how far he came.

Wore out this entire album. I used to sit in the living room as a kid with headphones on while everyone else watched tv or did whatever, I was listening to this and a few others on 8-track over and over.

Not enough 80s tunes in this thread. I was very young then but remember the songs from listening to the radio in the car while my dad drove me to the BMX tracks. The obvious one is Toto Africa so I'm gonna skip that and post these that I remember instead.

Another 8-track that was played too many times to remember.

Wore out this entire album.

I did the same with Neil Diamond, and my sister did with Carole King. We're only thirteen months apart, and we STILL hate each other's chosen artist of the time.

I can't even bring myself to share a Carole King song here.

So on another note, between ages 18-22 are pretty much a drunken blur. This is the song I played every single time we went to the Skyway Bar & Lounge, downtown Minneapolis.

Yeah the sibling rivalries and fights over the stereo, remember it well. My sister was all in with the Partridge Family. Uhhhg.

Baker Street by Jerry Rafferty is a must listen masterpiece!

Reminds me of a gf. Around the time this song was popular grunge and alternative took off and hair metal was history overnight.
