The song that takes you back to your youth.

Maggie Mae by Rod Stewart - takes me back to the carefree summer of 1972 when A levels were over.

1962 - the year I left home. Brian Hyland - "Sealed with a kiss"; The Four Seasons - "Big girls don't cry". Later it was anything by Burt Bacherach.

Oh yes lemondrizzle (I so wanted to add cake to the end of your name).

Donny Osmond's Puppy Love and then the Bay City Rollers Bye Bye Baby. Happy carefree days before it all went wrong

Silence is Golden, my first slow dance with my first boyfriend at the youth club [sigh]

So many... Most of the Beatles and songs like Pretty Flamingo,
I got you babe, Joanna by The Walker Brothers, San Francisco by Scott McKenzie, Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire, Young Girl - all '60s stuff for me

Ooo yes Silence is Golden - loved that and Every Time You Walk in the Room by the Searchers. I could go on forever - but I won't!

Many Beatles songs but the Animals , House of the Rising Sun really takes me back.

On the embarrassing level as a 70s teeny bopper
Sugar baby love. Bay City Rollers
Puppy love. Donny Osmond
Here it is Merry christmas. Slade
On a more sensible level
I'm not in love. 10cc
Bridge over troubled water. Simon & Garfunkal
Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen

Sorry can't give exact dates
Can only remember that they were early seventies

When we were married in 1981.
My aunt slipped a single (that just happened to be in the charts at that time) into the pile of cards and telegrams (remember them?) Which were to be read out at the reception.

The record was by Godley and Cream
'Under your thumb!'

Sorry that was 1964

At 17 Janis Ian (1976)when I was 17

I want to stay with you for the rest of my life(Gallagher and Lyle) 1976 first song we danced to

You light up my life(first dance at wedding) Debbie Boone)1977 our wedding was in 1979
Very happy memories

I was a 70's teeny bopper too Cherrytree59 and agree with most of your choices. Wasn't Sugar Baby love the Rubettes? I loved that too. Loved Queen too.

At 17 by Janis Ian could go on my list of "songs that make the tears flow" Bbnan .

Mary Hopkins, Beatles, Helen Shapiro.
We also had to go to chapel twice a day on Sundays and Sunday school in the afternoon so as a good Methodist I can still recall the words to many hymns.

I also loved 10 to 8 by David castles....reminds me of being first married and getting ready for work

First record bought was Venus in blue jeans by Bobby V 1961
All Bob Dylan songs take me back to my protest days, CND etc
In my life by the Beatles still makes me cry .
Later any Motown music , The temptations Just walk away Rene, This old heart of mine by the Isley brothers .
Music can take you back to happy or sad times like nothing else can .

Walker brothers, sound of silence, band of gold and lots more.

Strawberry fields for ever. Reminds me of a Sunday afternoon trip. Mx

First time ever I saw your face, your'ebeautiful, Wanna be with you,

f77ms I LOVED walk away Renee, my favourite Four Tops song, also This old heart of Mine and I Cant Help Myself.

Hey Jude. When I was a student nurse in theatre in the 60s and on call at night we'd all be singing this whilst doing emergency ops. Happy days. Paul McCartney didn't sound as good the last time he performed it!

Poison Ivy. My first real boyfriend asked me out when I was dancing to it

School's out - Alice Cooper - 1972. The summer I left secondary school, I hated school so much!!

Being a hippy in the 60's meant for me lashings of Beatles, Hendrix, etc, but the song that went round and round in my head for a very long time was Bobby Gentry's version of 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' I still have my 45rpm record, and it still leaves me feeling all fuzzy round the edges

Lindisfarne - Meet me on the corner
The Rolling Stones - Angie
Roxy Music - Virginia Plain
T Rex - Metal Guru
Hawkwind - Silver Machine

All of these take me right back to lunchtimes in the school common room. Happy times!

Anything by the Beatles, Satisfaction and Paint it Black, and The Sunshine of Your Love.
