Been on Spotify since university days and got into the habit of making seasonal playlists with my favourite tracks. It recently hit 10 years so I combined those into a separate playlist which you can listen to here:

Be warned - there's 851 tracks on there currently! All sorts of music in there, if you've got some time, have a rummage through!

I'm always on the lookout for new music too if you have a playlist/suggestion?

Just had a 'rummage' and borrowed a couple of tracks. Think we're different generations but notice you have 'Wild World' by Cat Stevens,.a.song that I always associate with the start of.my full time student days in Sep. 1970

The one song which I always associate with student days is Band of Gold by Freda Payne, just because it was number one when I first went to Uni.

That's right CT so you first went to Uni in Sep.70 like me. The reason I mentioned Wild World is that another student in a room opposite me in halls was constantly playing it on his record player.

I dont do Spotify. My kids know how much I'm into music & think I'm mad for avoiding it but I still like to buy cds and listen to them whole a few times, read the inserts etc.

On the subject of associating certain tracks with early uni days - I frequented the Union bar quite a bit between lectures and evenings/weekends and there were a fair few tracks that were played a huge number of times on the jukebox, a few of which I always associate with that time.

Man of the World by (pre middle of the road) Fleetwood Mac
"Days of Pearly Spencer" by David McWilliams.
"White Room" - by Cream
"Turn, turn, turn" by Mary Hopkin (it being in Wales- I have a vague recollection of a Welsh language version of this too).

Notice you also have 'High Hopes' but by Pink Floyd. High Hopes was one of my favourite songs as a boy growing up.but by Frank Sinatra. Very uplifting song apt for.today. I have a couple of playlists,one with just general favourites from down my many years and the other a compilation of.tamla, soul.and northern soul. Happy listening and stay safe.
