Goodies, but Oldies
 

I've recently began listening to the oldies station while in the car and want to download, er, I mean purchase some oldies. Feel free to throw out some names for me. Thank ya much! :)

Define "oldies"!:p

Ya know, 50s, 60s.

Barry White, Al Green, Chubby Checker, Temptations, Otis Redding, etc :D

I know the names of artists, but wouldn't know what songs are the good ones.

Nobody??

Well, this is right up my alley. But it needs to be narrowed down unless you are like me and love ALL kinds of music!

I wasn't as crazy abotthe 50's, but the 60's have all that beach themed music-Beach Boys-Supremes-Beatles-Great roups like the Tops-then you got into the begining of acid rock- Peter Paul and Mary- protest songs-quite a diverse group.

The 50's had stuff like American Graffti-I THINK that was the 50's music-Sha Na Na and the types smilar to "Where the Boys Are" Doris Day, Perry Como even Patty Duke!
Elvis started hitting big-Doo-whap (sp?) Delt Alum could really help you.

What "feel" are you looking for? I bet we could come up with SEVERAL you would love!

I love everything. If you want to suggest 20's, hell, I'll take it. :D I am, however, going more for the sounds of The Temptations, Four Tops, Otis Redding, etc. I hope that makes things clearer. Thank ya much!

The Dominos- Sixty Minute Man... I love this song :)

so then you're going more for motown then?

if so, then you have to have "The Tears of a Clown" by smokey robinson - :D

The soundtrack to American Graffitti is excellent.

Yes! I couldn't think of the name. Thanks! :D

I love Motown!!!:cool:

Hell yeah, motown is the shiznit.

just thought of another one, "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and the Pips.

"Earth Angel" --The Penguins!

50's/60's music
 

Frankie Valley and the 4 seasons are my all-time fave!
Songs that you probably know are

Since I can't work now, I've got several more songs:

"I Can't Help Myself" (aka the sugar pie, honey bunch song) and

Hope those work :D

I love this song, but can't listen to it anymore, as it was my ex's song for me. Blah!

"Let's stay togther" Al Green

"My Girl" Temptations

Anything Motown

Beach Boys:

Desperado
Life in the Fast Lane
Take it to the Limit

this is just my kind of thread.. I LOVE MUSIC (well this types at least) while all of my friends are downloading new songs.. I am getting these.. (though I have most already on CD :) )

Since there are so many songs that I love I am just going to name the top ones..

Beatles -- Blackbird.. In my life (two fav songs--though I love any song, this is religion to me)

CSNY -- Almost Cut My Hair, Our House, Cinnamon Girl (so many here as well.. saw them in concert twice)

Beach Boys -- God Only Knows... Wouldnt it be nice..

Carly Simon
Bob Dylan
Janis Joplin (cant believe I forgot her from my first list.. im sure i forgot more as well)

I know that these songs arent prob what you were thinking.. but I think that these are prob some of my faves of everything.. you can find some great collection CDs in the store as well from diff times..

though I love the 50s, 60s, and 70s music.. depending on my mood ecsp since they can be very diff types... it drives my boyfriend crazy when I get to listening to this in the car and I know the words to like all the songs and will be dancing around
:D

I like the Beatles, the Who, the Byrds and most stuff from the late 1960s to mid 1970s. I also like New Wave and Heavy Metal from the 1980s.

Recently I have noticed the songs I listened to while growing up and coming of age in the 1980s are now being played in classic rock or pop station. That makes me feel old!
