I'm only familiar with Aqualung; now after reading the lyrics I may need to go buy Songs from the Wood. (Unfortunately, I see iTunes, my most instantly-gratifying source of music these days, doesn't have any Tull.) I do have PPM.
We didn't listen to music all that often in my childhood. I have Fiddler on the Roof and The Sound of Music; the only other things I ought to get are Free to Be You and Me and a collection of Sesame Street songs.
But I do have the experience of buying music from someone else's childhood. The first time I heard Kenny Loggin's House at Pooh Corner I was in with my college roommate, the summer after freshman year. She was transfixed. I think they'd sung it at her summer camp and so hearing the song brought out vague, evocative back-of-the-head memories. That drew my attention to the lyrics and I fell in love with them. (I was just the right age for childhood nostalgia, the same age Loggins was when he wrote the song. I still love it, though.)
Do you remember the old Lip Quencher lipstick commercial in the late 1970s? That one set up echoes in my head til I finally found out what the song was. When I was two or three I used to love the Andy Williams show, and he sang Moon River at the end of every show.
