No, not music you ripped bongs to in high school and college. I mean the music you remember your parents playing while they took you to the grocery store and road trips when you were growing up. What song, what album brings you back to the back seat of your parent's Buick Skylark? Any song off Don't Henley's End of the Innocence immediately transports me back to the back seat of my parent's Dodge Caravan on the way to visit my grandparents in Green Bay. |

songs i only heard today that transport me back in time: - diamond girl and get closer by seals and crofts - listen to the music by the doobie brothers - so into you and imaginary lover by atlanta rhythm section - sir duke by stevie wonder all 70's staples on the am radio when i was a kid...heard them today on satellite radio driving to and coming home from work. visual nostalgia is when i see a commercial during the first week of december for 'santa claus is coming to town' or 'rudolph the red-nosed reindeer" animated specials. more visual nostalgia is any quinn martin tv production from the 70s. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFHdRkeEnpM Dad was a HUGE fan. The orchestral blasts were to him what power chords of heavy metal were to me. I can admit his music was much more beautiful than mine. I'm listening to this one right now, thanks for the memories! |

Let ‘Em In Lido Shuffle Anything from Neil Diamond or The Carpenters since my mom was fans of both. Plenty other stuff from the 70s. |

When I was a kid we would spent a good portion of the summer at my Aunt and Uncles cabin on the Tippecanoe River. The entire time they would have country music playing from the late 70s and early 80s. Back then I absolutely hated it. But now I miss those days a lot and I enjoy country music from that time. Takes me back to fishing on their pier and going to the garage frig and grabbin beers for them while they were playing cards in the evenings. |

Mom did not care for music that much, and absolutely not in the car - so we never had music on long driving vacations. Dad liked the easy listening stuff when he first came to the US, because it was easier for him to understand the well-ennunciated lyrics. He especially liked Nat King Cole. For me the nostalgia music is late 60s/early 70s Motown and Atlantic music, WGCI and the old original WBMX. The former was what my dad's cooks had on at the restaurant, and the latter was what my school bus drivers listened to. I was fortunate that in graduate school the student union had a fantastic listening library with a huge selection of 45s, and subscriptions to Billboard and Rolling Stone. That helped me tie my musical interests together into a mix of Los Angeles session rock, HDH era Motown, the horns of Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago (who later toured together), and the Thom Bell era Philadelphia sound. |

Mom was those light early 80's songs that I remember. Hall and Oates (Which for a long time I thought was Hauling Oats which I thought was an odd name for a band), Air supply.. You know shit like that. That was the stuff she left playing while we sat in the car while she ran in for groceries from Walt's on 64. I can't hear "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues" without thinking about sitting in that old station wagon and her bringing us out a piece of candy from them bulk candy they had. Dad.. Man, if was Magic 104 all the time. The Runaway, or Love Potion number 9 takes me back to the back seat of that Buick Riv as he drove us into the city for whatever game we were going to go see. When we would drive out to Pennsylvania to see my grandparents he would listen to that station with it crackling and breaking up to damn near Ohio and then I think he would either turn it off or if the Bears's were playing we would listen to that until it broke up. |

Climax Blues Band - I love You and December 1963 by the 4 Seasons. For some reason, as a yoot I remember these on the radio a ton. Jimmy Gilmer & the Fireballs - Sugar Shack. One of the new songs my Dad would just whistle all the time. Kenny Rogers - Lucille. Nights In White Satin - Moody Blues |
