Terrazzo floors in your house?
They were all the rage in the 1960s in central Florida. The shit's indestructible, if you dropped the Hope Diamond onto it, the diamond would shatter into a million little diamonds.
It is what you see in courthouses, public buildings, schools, etc. It is super high end and like you say virtually indestructible. Very cool to have it in your childhood home and memories!
Afternoon Delight.
No, hear me out on this one. It was the summer of 1976 and we were driving from PA to my aunt's ranch in Montana for a family reunion - three kids and a dog in the family truckster. That damned song came on the radio every 20 minutes, the whole way across the country.

It was a lot of fun to rollerskate on when mom & dad weren't home. It also stayed cold, which was good since we didn't get AC until I was around 10 years old.
There is no song that makes more more think of my freshman year of college than that song. Throw in some Gin Blossoms and Alanis, and I am back in Currier Hall.

Yeah, but Lute would probably remember it from when he saw Joplin playing it live
"Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground"
Man, the keyboards the drums the vocals.... just grabs you right from the get-go and brings me back to being about 14 /15.

Also, if you haven't watched it yet, The greatest night in Pop about the making of We Are the World on Netflix really takes you back if you're a child of the 80's
Only one that I can really think of is this because it was my HS class song.
I have more songs that sort of transport me back to college.

My sister was 6 years older than me so I heard a lot of Steppenwolf and CCR.
Nice segue into “Name a movie that immediately reminds you of your childhood.”
I think the first time I heard this song was at the movie theatre with my mom watching The Sting. She was a huge Paul Newman fan. That is one of my all time favorite flicks… and a terrific song as well.
Mom and Pops listened to a lot of Glen Campbell and Simon and Garfunkel. I still get chills thinking about her busting out lyrics while on road trips.
Older brother plays the tramp-bone, so his early vinyl included plenty of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. He also had all of the Chicago albums. Beatles and Elton John as well.
My buddy up the lake had older hippy chick sisters who turned us on to a lot of great stuff. I think my earliest music purchases were mostly influenced by what was playing at their house. Stuff like Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix, CSNY, Jethro Tull, and one of my all time favorites..
They also got us started on The Allman Brothers which then led to plenty of Southern rock. This is a classic…
Lots of great memories are triggered when some of these tunes show up. Strangely enough, although certainly a sign of my advanced age, much of it is now elevator or advertising jingles these days.
