ITT: Albums that make you feel heavily nostalgic and capture the elementary/middle/high school essence.
The essence of suburbia, ballgames, backyard barbecues, hot summer evenings, gorgeous sunsets, biking with your friends, social awkwardness and fitting in, liking a girl (and sometimes, just maybe, she likes you back), etc.
Good choice OP, pic related reminds me of school bus rides home and riding a bike through the neighborhood.

I'm probably a pleb but I like pop rock Rush and can't really get into prog Rush except for a few songs.
Permanent waves is where the band "began" for me.
I didnt really like this album when it first came out but i somehow got my hands on it around 2007 or 2008. Now everytime i listen to it i feel like im 13 again in middle school, so many memories such a shitty time in music lol

I like both. They were great at adapting their sound to changing times.
this one gets me really nostalgic for playing flash games around 2006 because it's what i listened to while doing that
american football gives me the type of nostalgia you're talking about, sort of hanging at the rec centre type shit.
which is weird because i only heard american football for the first time last year
this one always gets me.
>i love that night and i love the past i dont care how futile it is i will never be there but i was there

Do you like Geddy Lee? I've been a big Rush fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Permanent Waves. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Permanent Waves where Lee's presence became more apparent. I think Grace Under Pressure was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on human struggle. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Lee, Lifeson, and Peart. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Red Sector A. In this song, Neil Peart addresses the oppression of innocents under an evil regime. Distant Early Warning is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about survival and hope. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock.

We We're Dead Before the Ship Even Sank for me. Listened to it last summer and it reminds me of going to a swimming hole with a couple of friends and I was still a virgin. Hearing That's What I'm Waiting For made me long for losing my virginity and waiting for my life to get better. Well I lost my virginity to a girl I didn't even like and I'm a pretty bitter person but I have a steady paying job and good friends so there's that.
