Which songs/albums take you back to college?

Some of my most vivid memories are from my college years and certain albums/songs really transport me back in time. Just curious what those may be for you.

1. Pearl Jam - Ten. Nothing defines my college experience more than this, nothing. Every song has a special meaning.

2. Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger. Lots of drinking happened to this album, memories a little fuzzy.

3. Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy. New romance.

4. Tool - Undertow. I'm really sick of college (esp electromagnetics) at this point and this album lets me rage.

High school for me but "Grand Illusion" is actually quite a good solid rocking album end-to-end by Styx. "Miss America" is one of my favorite rockers from the 70s and has a simple but killer guitar riff that I love to this day.

The rest of their subsequent output is less consistent.

"Leftoverture" by Kansas ain't bad either.

My college years were from 1975 - 1979 ... so I had prog rock, disco, and punk going on.

Albums that take me back to the good old NYU days:

Dylan - Blood on the Tracks; Desire
Cars
Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army
Harry Chapin - Greatest Stories Live
Springsteen - Born to Run

Best regards,

Rich
