...want to go back to the time when they were hits. Do you ever hear a song and get emotional over it because you know the time when it was a hit will never come around again? Or is this just a really stupid topic! Like for me whenever I hear songs from a certain time period I just want to hear it again because it's almost like a trip back into the past. For me this is true for Goo Goo Dolls songs.

Yeah this happens a lot for me. In fact, I organize my mp3's by time they were most popular (example: Fall 1998, Spring 1999) so I can take it back to that specific time period. I mean, if I download a song from 1998 now I won't put it with my 1998 songs, I'll just leave it loose, but you know what I mean. Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" is a great example of a song that takes me back. When that song hits, it's like thr past 5 years never happened and I'm in HS again.

Alanis' CD, 'Always Be My Baby', listening to the yearend charts. I miss those times. :(

Same with me, except I do put songs I download from 1998 in the 1998 folder... unless I'm only hearing it for the first time now. Then I might put it in my folder titled "Currents".

This is especially true of songs from the first half of 2001, especially in March and April. You see, until February of that year, I had a car that I couldn't trust to drive more than five miles from where I live. But that changed a few days after Valentine's Day, when I bought a brand new Plymouth Acclaim. I didn't get started taking long drives until I got the car title, which was on March 3, then I drove around country roads that I'd never seen before (or don't remember seeing, anyway). I found myself up in Three Oaks, Michigan and I didn't even know I had driven out of Indiana (although maybe my first clue should have been when I went past a street called "State Line Road". I was thinking, no way I could be up in Michigan already! (I hadn't seen that I had driven past a road called "CR 1000N (meaning ten miles north of the center of the county), which is just a half a mile from the Indiana/Michigan state line. Throughout March and April, I drove through areas I'd never been before. It was a great adventure for me. However, by May and June, I ran out of "new territory". Still, I did occasionally find places I'd never been before. So that's why songs in March and April make me feel like I could just crawl into a time machine and go back to those times, although, on my drives, it wouldn't still be new territory anymore. Instead, I think about how neat it would be to sit in the backseat as an "invisible man" as my "other self" (using the "Back To The Future" concept) took those drives and I wrote down the roads "he" traveled, as well as the songs playing on the radio. Also, songs from the summer of 1986 take me back to the warm summer nights when I'd sneak out of the house to see my then-girlfriend at her house.

I mean if I download a song from Fall 1998 that I haven't heard of til now, I won't put it in my Fall 1998 folder. If I downlaod a song now that I listened to IN Fall 1998, then I'll put it in the Fall 1998 follder, for example. I also have a folder for "90s Revival" which are album tracks that I never knew of back then from popular late 90's artists that I downloaded recently. So I play them and it feels like back in the day radio but it's all "new" stuff to me.

Yeah this happens to me all the time, especially for songs from 95-98, esp the summer songs. For example, I'm istening to "Semi-charmed Life" right now and it really brings my mind back to late summer '97, when I was just starting high school..

I think the time period between late '97-early '99 is the time period for me, several of you also feel the same way about the same time period.

When I hear a song from 1999-2000, I reminisce about my senior year of high school. That was a time full of great memories.

I would definately want to go back to the mid-80's during Prince's hey-day. A great time for music.

I wish I would've lived in the early-to-mid 90s and had been 16 then, and to know how I would have thought of the music then. There was so much good music out then. I probably would have listened to more underground stuff like around 1994/5 if I had similar tastes, 'cuz that's when industrial was at a peak, and the Christian rock was getting to a peak as well.
I especially would wonder about my reaction to Gravity Kills' first album when it was released.

Guys, I don't wanna sound like some psychologist or whatever, but I think people will always tend to be nostalgic about their high school years, especially after finishing college. I swear to god, whether you follow the charts seriously or not, there's no way you'll ever forget which tunes were hot the summer right before freshman year, or when you graduated. Like for me, whenever I hear "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, my mind will always go back to the end of my freshman year...

"How You Remind Me", "Differences" and "Chop Suey" give me good memories of my freshman year of high school.

I want to go back to Billie's "She Wants You"! I was so excited when I heard KIIS play it on the radio and then my brother switched it on purpose. I was very angry.

I agree with Keith, but there's a bit more to it. Some of the best music of my youth has been burned out by classic rock radio. But there are times when I hear something from that era (the late 70s) that I haven't heard in a long time and I think "Wow, I sure miss those days."
Conversely, there are times when I hear some of the 80s rock that was tired before it was ever released (like a lot of AC/DC or that horrible "supergroup" Asia, for example) when I think "Thank God we've moved on!"

I wish I can go back to the 80s, period. After all, I was not in Canada during the 80s, so my knowledge of 80's music is comparatively less than the 90's and 2000's.

Actually, this whole concept is why I'm so into music in the first place. There are two very nostalgic periods in my life. Even though the two time periods are back to back, they represent very different stages.
1994-1996: All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow I Love You Always Forever - Donna Lewis The World I Know - Collective Soul Everything Falls Apart - Dog's Eye View Ironic - Alanis Morissette Missing - Everything But the Girl
These songs remind me of my 6th and 7th grade years. Those are the last years that I truly felt like I was a kid, and nothing really mattered.
1997-2000 My Favorite Mistake - Sheryl Crow Where Have All the Cowboys Gone - Paula Cole Black Balloon - Goo Goo Dolls If You Could Only See - Tonic Ray of Light - Madonna Blue - Eiffel 65 Real World - Matchbox 20 To the Moon & Back - Savage Garden
These are my high school days. Very serious girlfriend, tons of friends, first car, marching band, etc, etc. Good times.

I believe 1995 was the last year for the Acclaim. Bought a brand new one myself in 1993. Loved the car until some guy clopped it. There are some years I'd love to go back and relive. Like the late 80's and early 90's.

I want to go back to when "Baby One More Time" and "Show Me Love" were played on radio a lot!
Also, I'd like to go back to the "Don't Speak" days! That was the jam!

"Wannabe" ~ Spice Girls! I got into music during the Spice Girls second album, and they were my first favorite artist ever! I wish I could go back to the time when they were just huge in America.

A lot of things remind me of my greatest past between 1971 up until 1989. They were one of my best years in music. Each song that were instant classics to me, I catergorize them by decade. One song came to mind--Simple Minds' Don't You forget About Me. It was the first song I played when I first got into radio. The 80s to me were my Spuds McKenzie years (too bad the b***h had to die after three years [21 in dog]) I was a loose but crazy guy back then. While you guys are lost in the 90s, isn't there anyone besides me that reminds a true classic of something?....Let's see....
M - Pop Music (1979)...I was dancing back in junior high during our free time.
Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen (1980)....I couldn't believe that I was that addicted to adult contemporary at 14!
Snap - The Power (1990)....After years of being rejected, first girlfriend.
Great years lots of memories....where have they've gone?

Whenever I hear songs from 1996 I'm sent into a frenzy. I swear that has to be one of the best years in music history. There were so many hits and GOOD music out then. I also like 1993 and 1994. 1986 was a good year too.

cool, another nostalgia thread that's been resurrected. :) The songs that make me want to desperately turn back the hands of time and go back to when they were hits- off the top of my head- are:
Jennifer Paige - "Crush" All Saints- "Never Ever" New Radicals -"You Get What you Give" Joey MCyntire - "Stay The Same" Offspring - "Fly for a White Guy" Britney Spears- "Baby One More Time" N*SYNC - "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time On You" Mya & Blackstreet- "Take Me There" Monica- "Angel of Mine" Sixpence none the Richer- "Kiss Me" The Corrs- "So Young" Baz Lurhman - That Sunscreen song
All these songs represent my 1998-1999 school year back in 8th grade, a year which I'm quite fond of. Every time I listen to one of those songs, no matter where I am or what I'm going through, I always end up associating the music with that particular "era" of my life. Damn, I wish I could go back. *gets all sniffly*

This thread makes me nostalgic just thinking about all these songs!
Anything from 1994-2000 gets me really nostalgic (high school and college days).
I'm sure in a few years time I will be nostaligic for music that's around now.
