Songs or Albums that remind you of Childhood?

When I hear certain songs, it takes me back to the days when I was a child, for whatever reason. And for me it is bittersweet. On one hand, being an adult is awesome but on the other, being a kid was so easy and carefree.
Thinking about old friends, and the neighborhoods we grew up in long ago. Back then it felt that the sidewalks on the street never ended, with woods and huge backyards (that really weren't THAT big, in reality). Those feelings when you played outside all day and the excitement over being allowed to have a sleepover, equiped with pizza delivery and video games and horseplay.
The music that takes me back definitely includes Don Henley, specifically "Boys of Summer" and his album "Building the Perfect Beast".
What y'all got?

Semi Charmed Life was one of my first favorite songs. It was popular when I was in 1st grade.
Call it odd, but Rock n Roll part 2 by Gary Glitter also reminds me of my childhood going to Captains games in Shreveport. 94.5 used to play it all the time and one specific instance i remember my neighbors had a tv and nintendo in their garage and i sat in there playing Double Dribble and that song was on the radio. Just a very vivid memory.

There are a lot of songs that do that for me. Mostly it's stuff that my parents listened to like the Mamas & the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, early Beatles, The Seekers, etc. California Dreamin' is guaranteed to send me on a nostalgia trip to my childhood.

Taking Back Sunday
Dashboard Confessional

Blink 182- Enema of the State
Offspring- Americana
Limp Bizkit- Whatever that shitty CD that had Rollin on it was
None of those stood the test of time or were good when they first came out (looking at you Fred Durst), but I'll be damned if I still don't love all the small things.

the earliest song I can really remember hearing would be Philadelphia Freedom... not sure why that has always stuck with me... I'd have just turned 3 when it came out...

Led Zeppelin were absolute kings when I was a kid. And The Who. And Sabbath.
Any song by those.

Boy, that really takes me back. Man, I loved that song as a teen.
If I hear any song from Boston's debut album, or Kiss Alive II, I'm back to being that thirteen year old kid rockin those tunes on my brother's stereo.
Edit: Space Oddity by Bowie really sends me back.
