One of my flatmates at university used to play Dylan's Desire album on a loop so that is very evocative. Another flatmate in later years used to play Alison Moyet's Invisible* album and Sade's album so that has the same effect. Also the Bends album by Radiohead and What's the Story, Morning Glory (and Missing by EBTG) are redolent of happy times for me! Also, there was one time when i was walking through Soho on a sunny day to meet a friend for a drink and 'Alone Again Or' by Love came on my Walkman and it nearly had me in tears.
Edit: I meant 'Alf'! |

When I hear Happy Up Here by Royksopp, it's April, the sun is shining, I'm on the top deck of the 75 bus and I'm happy

All of the 'summer songs' from previous summers. Every time I hear Umbrella, I'm suddenly on a rock in Donegal.

Paradise Cafe 02:00 am by Barry Manilow. The whole album is like being in a real nightclub and listening to the blues. I always play it at night as it seems the perfect time and for me this is his best album.

The Grease soundtrack. I was severely ill in hospital at the time and never saw the film, but had the soundtrack on tape. Every time I hear it it whisks me back then.

just about everything from the 80s.
But at the moment I'm looking at the Vienna New Years Concert, and that always takes me straight back to my childhood, was always on telly on New Years Day. I do that when I'm soppy

Mike and the Mechanics- Looking Back Over My Shoulder; takes me back to being in the car driving up to my nans when I was about 10, with my dad playing this in the car. This song has always stuck with me, and takes me back to those moments.
