What songs stir nostalgia in you?

sorry to go on about sir paul, but "silly love songs" was one of those songs that my dad thought was the best songs ever, and we used to dance and sing it in our living room. Dad used to do air bass which was always funny, but kinda cool when your 6:) Also he did a film which that song was on, it was called "give my regards to broad street". Has anyone seen that film? I used to think that film was so good, havent seen it seen i was about 8. Id love to watch that again:)

There was a show in Chicago in the mid 80s called "Rock 50" or something. I think it was an imported European video and dance show and it was on channel 50 in between some Spanish-language TV and infomercials. They used to show this video by a guy called Captain Video and the song was called "Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop". Stupid song but it comes into my mind a lot and I miss those good old days of being surprised by TV.

"Back In Black" has tons of memories attached to it.

Nostalgia is a pretty gae exercise.

However, "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)" by Looking Glass is a fine pop song that endures in my memory and reminds me of certain good days of my youth. The lyric is really good.

"Ride Captain Ride" by Blues Image is memorable, too, although this little snippet fails to provide the chorus, which is pretty good and propulsive.

"Don't Pull Your Love" by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds was surprisingly thrilling, too, at least to a little kid in North Dakota.

And "Sweet City Woman" by Stampeders (a band that hailed from, of all places, Calgary AB) is commendable if only for its: (i) audacious use of French ("Bon! C'est bon! Bon! Bon! C'est bon! Bon!"); and (ii) ridiculous reference to macaroons ("She feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons.").

That should do it for now for this trip down memory lane to KFYR in Bismarck ND.

Have a nice day.

Telstar by the Tornados was the first record I really remember. I was 2. Thanks dad.

Otherwise Beatles, Beatles, and, oh, the Beatles.

Besides that, my list would be frighteningly close to Bradley's. ANYTHING on AM radio from 1969 to 1972. I would be making car models and when I got tired of stopping production to change the record, I would put on the AM Transistor. We didn't have an FM radio till 1973.
KJR Seattle, and '71 to '73 WOKY, Milwaukee.
