Yes, it is very true.
Music, whether it is rock, motown, classical, opera, reggae, and many others, can take you back to a certain moment in time where you may have been traveling or experiencing something, somewhere in the world.
In other words, you could be listening to a piece of music, and think, I remember this song when I was.......

Listening to these musicians and their music have caused me reflect and remember a travel experience from the past:

Pink Floyd
Santana
Dire Straits
AC/DC
Men at Work
Yanni
Abba
Simple Minds
Peter Gabriel
Eagles
Scorpions
Geoffrey Oryema
Murray Head
Heart

Listen in, and you will underatnd what I mean.
Then do it yourself. Start making a list
