The sad thing is, with the age range here, most members would think "oldies" music is Pearl Jam and Nirvana. rolleyes:

I like some older stuff, but usually don't dip earlier than the 70s, although I do like some old James Brown stuff.

I dig old school 70s funk a lot. KC & The Sunshine Band, The Brothers Johnson, George Clinton, Barry White...all classics.

On the rock side, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, KISS...obvious standouts for me. Of course, a lot of the material from my fave band of all time (shame on you if you don't know by now...) could be considered "oldies" now...seeing as though their first album was released in 1980.

Johnny Cash/King Crimson/Black Sabbath/Count Bassie/Billie Holiday/Nina Simone/Eartha Kitt(her rendition of Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend is simply priceless) rock:

Old Genesis was good stuff with Gabriel in drag...The Who (cant believe no one mentioned that one) David Bowie...20th century composers such as Bela Bartok are in my collection... eek:

i should be shoot....add Sinatra to the list...

I love anything done around late 60's early 70's, right around vietnam

CCR - Proud Mary
KEEPThe Band - Up on cripple creek
CCR - Have You Ever Seen The Rain
George Thorogood - Bad To The Bone\

[quote="Cpt. Zapotoski":cec80][quote="newt.":cec80]60's and the 70's are not oldies you fool...

those two decades were prolly the best in music history[/quote:cec80]

uhhh.... are you retarded? What else are they called? Golden "Newies" you stupid bastard?

They're called "oldies" not because they are old and not good anymore... because they are simply "old".. like 30-40 years old.[/quote:cec80]

I think "oldies" are more geared towards the 50s and possibly the early 60s. Anything later then that is Classic Rock. There is usually a totally different sound distinction between the two.

Think what you want... but I know it's not called "classic rock". Not all of it for that matter. My Mother graduated in the early 60s and she has like 3 CDs that says right on the cover... "GOLDEN OLDIES - 50s/60s/70s". You're missing the entire point of calling it an "oldie". It's not a new type of music... it's just a category for music that was made 30 to 40 years ago.. whether it be rock/jazz/ etc

add Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton to that and you have my favorite bands...

Skynyrd owns.

I also just started listening to a new band that sounds like Queen, called The Darkness. They are a newer band but they sound like the bands of late 70s early 80s

Where I live, there are two radio stations that play music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, what you like to classify as "Golden Oldies".

One is Oldies 103.3. This station is mainly music from the 50s and early 60s. [url="http://www.oldies1033.com/"]http://www.oldies1033.com/[/url]

The other is 100.7, WZLX, CLASSIC ROCK. This plays music ranging from the late 60s up to, in some cases, the early 80s. http://www.wzlx.com/

It's obviously different where you live, but down in Boston that's just how it is.

The only thing they both play is usually The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Neil Diamond.

Yeah no fucking kidding. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that out. But, it's hard to say that music from the 50s and music from the 70s sound similar. I guess I've just always thought that oldies were subdivided into two parts, Golden Oldies, which is primarily music from the early 50s, and Classic Rock, which is primarily music from the 70s and 60s.

There's a huge difference between the most popular music of the 50s and the most popular music of the 70s. Compare anything by Elvis in the 50s to the most popular Led Zeppelin songs and its hard to say they fit in the same category.

Oh and to answer your original question, I religiously listen to Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. oOo:

oldies stations play popular music

If it's so god damn easy to figure out then why the hell were you givin me lip originally you piece of shit? And since when did I say music from the 50s and 70s "sound similar" I'd put down that bowl and think for once you reject.

When did I ask you that, pot head?

If you knew anything about music then you'd know ANY TYPE OF "HIT" back in the 50/60/70 ere was considered a classic oldie, especially now. Check out this site: http://www.webfitz.com/lyrics/index.html

It should explain everything for you there, Pasquale you fuckin woman.

yeah really. classic oldies is diff from classic rock. check out the whnn website

To stay on topic my favorite of the 60s would have to be Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Righteous Brothers, The Beatles, Elvis, and the Temptations.

Guns n Roses, AC/DC, Quiet Riot and Nirvana would have to be my favorite of the 80s and early 90s.

1965 and Before qualify as 'Oldies' in my book

WRONG, how can you miss the entire 1969 era? stupid:
