The first 78 rpm record I bought was Elvis Presley's 'Hound Dog', and that evokes happy memories.

When my husband and I were 'courting' we always had Queen songs blasting out as we drove along. I Want To Break Free and Radio GaGa were favourites at that time.

My son as a todder, loved 'Puff, the Magic Dragon' and we were always playing that.

Happy memories!

Some Might Say by Oasis as it reminds me of when I met my husband. Still our favourite song,

any neil diamond song i grew up with them on constantly

Anything by Elvis brings back happy memories of family time with my Grandparents - even more important since they've passed away...

"The Sun Goes Down" by Level 42 always reminds me of the first holiday I spent with my (now) husband when we went to Abersoch many years ago. We had it on tape and used to sing along to it ...

Joey - Bob Dylan. Always reminds me of my dad. Loved listening to it with him.

'1f' ( a picture paints a 1000 words...) sung by Bread. Has always summed up how I feel about all the meaningful relationships in my life - such beautiful words

Bridge over Troubled Water - my parents played it a lot growing up and I still love it - makes me remember happy childhood times

Val Doonican and Paddy McGinty's goat, my sister and I used to dance and act out the story, great fun.
Still know all the words,, classic!

The Air That I breathe is our song , by the Hollies, the first record my boyfriend ( now hubby of over 40 years bought me) it always make me feel young and in love when I hear it.

Summer Nights by Marianne Faithfull reminds me of my teenage years and the last holiday I spent with my parents. We were in Cornwall and the evenings were beautiful with magicl sunsets. I was at a very romantic stage with crushes on so many pop stars of the period - even a girl crush on Marianne!

As a teenager I rolled my eyes and stomped away as my dad (loudly and with vigour) sang "Beeee my LOVE..." along to Mario Lanza. Oh how embarrassing he was! But my daughter delighted in the way he belted it out and danced her round the room and I realised what a wonderful man he was.
Last week I was driving back from seeing mother when Andre Boccelli came on the radio "Beeee my LOVE" he warbled and the tears flowed. Oh how I miss my dad.

"The Things We Do for Love" by 10cc - courting song forever!

Three song always bring back lovely memories when I hear them, they are( Why must I be a teenager in love) it was the first gift my husband bought for me when we were courting. (Angels) it reminds me when my Daughter was small, and (Islands in the Stream) it is so upbeat and tells of a long lasting love.

Wish Me Luck - Gracie Fields, a song my mother used to sing believing she could hit the high notes like Gracie.

In the End from Linkin Park, because of the lyrics

'I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter. I had to fall to lose it all, but in the end it doesn't even matter.'

Although I already knew the song, the words jumped out at me when I was out for the evening after completing my finals at University. I had previously had a breakdown and had gone back to University as a mature student as part of my recovery. It's my reminder that the little mistakes I make in life aren't important in the long run, so I should let them go.......

Funny how a song can take you to a precise moment in time isn’t it? The New Year before my lovely Mum died we all held hands to Auld Lang syne knowing it would be our last one so I considered this to be a really sad memory and grew to hate the song. Last year my son passed out as a Royal Marine Commando and blow me the Marine Band played them back into that very song. I actually laughed because it was like a sign from Mum x

Dance the Night Away by The Mavericks. A real feel good, foot tapping song

Hey Mr Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan and Please Please Me by the Beatles for teenage memories.
Pachabels Canon - wedding
Jerusalem the Golden - hymn from DS wedding
Blowing in the Wind- DH favourite to play on his guitar.

Songs that mean the most tend to be from playlists we have created for road trips. So if I hear Simon & Garfunkel it takes me right back to France and this mountain pass we drove where the view opened out and just was overwhelming! Similar with Incredible String Band and The Great Glen on our Scotland road trip!

I love David Cassidy songs especially Daydreamer

I Am the One and Only by Chesney Hawkes, which is totally cringeworthy now, but is the song I remember from when my ex husband and I started dating. I don't often have songs that "stick" to events or dates in my life but that one does. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Always and Forever by Luther Vandross, last year this was our wedding song, after many years together we married as i had serious health, and we wanted to for years but never had the money, we didnt know how we would manage it, but scraped some pennies and went to a greek island with a few close family and tied the knot, I will never forget the feelings of standing on that beach, with the blue skies and hearing this song play out, all the smiling faces and my most memorable moment in life.....

Careless whisper by george michael the most romantic time of my life

I have always loved In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry and any music by Elvis, he sang Rock and Roll, and such a variety of Sad, Happy, Lively, Love Songs with such a fantastic voice I could listen to him forever. Another more recent singer is Mika who has a different style of singing but real lively music that I really enjoy.
