As a kid there were certain songs, by artists that my parents liked, that I could listen to over and over and over again. Now, these songs draw up feelings of intense nostalgia and memories of childhood. (All are linked to youtube videos.)
"Wouldn't it Be Nice" - the Beach Boys (or any song by them off the one cassette tape that my older sister had when she first got a Walkman... that tape got a lot of air time :P)
Mom & Dad had video tapes where they'd recorded the music videos of favourite songs and in the evenings, my sisters and I would request the ones we liked the best. Dad would fast-forward to demanded song (and often rewind it again because we'd call for an encore)!
Then, in mine and my sister's adolescence, there was the HitList and we'd watch that every weekend with my Mom. We'd tape the videos we liked so we could listen and watch them over and over again (I think we might even have a couple of the tapes lying around still :S).
The 10 songs listed are only a small amount of the ones that strike up those memories of the past - these are the ones that came to mind first when I began to think of songs for my youth (I left Spice Girls off, but they were implied :P).
