Music plays an important part in our lives & a particular era rekindles so many memories of people, places, good (and bad) times, and a feeling of well being...... for me it was the swinging sixties, flower power, summer of love..... oh to do it all again.... if you could return to a period in the past that has musical memories when would it be?

Mid 60's, just to hear the Beatlemania-era Beatles. If I could be hearing their songs for the first time again, so much the better. The music was great but so was the excitement, with announcements of tours, with tidbits of "inside" info "leaking out", with radio stations announcing when they will next be playing this song so you could be around the radio to hear it. It was an age when you didn't know the REAL dirt on your favorites -- ah, what a blissfully naive time it was!
Yeah, I'm an old fart but so what? It was great music to me at the time.

If I could go back musically I'd go back to the late 70s and early 80s when Queen were at the height of their career and watch them play live,I'd also love to be able to have gone to the original Live Aid at Wembley.
Just a shame I didnt get into their music before the death of Freddie Mercury.To have seen them perform with all their pomp and splendour would have been great:)

I would return to 1996-1998 these were my college years and the best years I can remember.
We didnt care what people thought and had the time of our lives. I was learning about myself and it was great. Getting a buzz from being underage and still getting into clubs/pubs etc, learning to drive (and the crashes!!), getting pis.sed and rolling through the front door at your parents feet coz the key just wouldnt fit in the lock and then trying really hard to walk straight and pretend you wernt drunk.
Music from this time always brings back memorys of being silly and free, it always makes me smile.
The 80's also brings back fond memorys of childhood, but 96-98 always makes me smile.

The 70s - prog rock, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, T Rex, too many to mention that still stand up today.
If only I could blank out Little Jimmy Osmond and the rest of the heaving mass of bubblegum that was around at the same time -. eeeugh!!!

i'd go back to 1968, to the revolution of British punk. It was fresh and exciting, a new depth of expressionism not seen before, where ideas were made known, and nothing was 'stupid'. the minority ruled. It would be cool to experience that freedom and liberation firsthand. They got away with denouncing the royal family as fascist, during the silver jubilee! we'll never have that kind of freedom of expression again...
or i would go back to the days of sinatra. Or to the days of the velvet underground to witness the genius in person, and let the soothing melodies lull my senses.
i'd even go back 5 years and relive the neo-Britpop movement, when it was refreshingly different to the tedious monotony of the late 90's and early 00's. I'd go back to when there was still poetry in music.
i'd also go back centuries and be a Mozart groupie. (i have a strange amalgamation of musical inspirations)

60's. In time to catch the bus. Further! The Dead, the Acid Tests, Monterey, and lots of Jimi, Janis and Jim. Also, Cream, Traffic, CSN&Y, Airplane, loads more.
Early 70's too. Lots of great bands and loads of festivals twixt 70 & 74-ish. Things kinda changed by the mid-70's, and you knew the extended summer of love had at last finished its run.

End of the sixties and beginning of the seventies would be a great time to go back to for me.
