Oldies Fans

LunaShar · November 17th, 2005, 10:17 AM

Hey guys, im a huge 60s and 70s music fan.
im very into bands like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Cream, David Bowie, The beach boys.
Is there any oldies fan here in the board?¿

What are your favourites songs from those decades?¿

Hells ya! You could catch me listening to the Oldies station every once in awhile. Beatles, Beach Boys, Mama's & Papa's, Blind Faith, Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, etc.....all good stuff right there. Can totally make your day to hear a really great song that you haven't heard in forever.

However, I was listening over the summer to the Oldies station in the car and they were playing the GO GO'S!!!! I was like WHA?? THE GO GO's?? They're 'oldies'? I almost drove off the road....such a sad thing when 'your generations' music is old....

BeeGees (through all their decades

), Jackson 5, Motown, Marvin Gaye, Styx, Eagles, Little River Band, The Osmonds (yeah, until about 1974), Dusty Springfield, Elvis of course, Tom Jones. I'm sure there's loads I'm forgetting right now.
I like good melodies, good voices, good harmonies. 90% of today's music sucks big time, as far as I'm concerned.

I am currently mourning the loss of the Chicago Oldies station. It's gone

Yes, I'm a huge fan of the Mama's and the Papa's, any of the side bands that the members were in, ie., the Big 3, Journeymen..I love the Beatles, Janis, Jimi, the Animals, the Guess Who, Doors, Dylan, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Velvet Underground..then some Jazz like Miles Davis, and some OLD blues like Blind Willie Johnson, Son House, Skip James, etc.

Have you had a chance yet to hear Barry Gibb's newest collaboration with Barbra Streisand "Guilty Pleasures"? It's just that, a fantastic follow up to "Guilty" that has its 25th anniversary this year.

My favorite is classic rock (Zeppelin, Stones, Beatles, Doors, Hendrix), but I also love old R & B (Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Temptations)

LunaShar · November 21st, 2005, 05:53 AM
