What songs 'Take You Back' to your childhood/adolescence?
It amazes me how powerful music is to transport us to another point in life almost instantly.

These songs and TV Themes 'take me back' to when I was a kid:

Theme to 'WKRP in Cincinnati'
Theme to 'Good Times'
Queen - Another One Bites the Dust
Genesis - That's All

How about you?

2. You're just a bit older than me.
I caught the tail end of the Brady bunch as a little kid. I always enjoyed Gilligan's reruns.

3. I'm know I'm older
because all your examples are songs & shows from when I was an adult. A young one though. :)

I'm in my 40's now.

8. Sweet Dream Baby - Roy Orbison
It was my very first record when I was 4...I burned a hole in it on the phonograph from playing it over and over.

Also, Del Shannon - Runaway...first song I ever played on guitar at 6 years old
