Anyone here still like the oldies? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JulieSomoski · 07-28-2007, 02:03 PM

I have grown up listening to the oldies, like Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, and Marvin Gaye, and it seems like their are very few people still out there today that enjoys listening to this kind of music, soul and especially Motown. So, is there anyone out there at these boards that does listen to the oldies, and what are some of your favorite groups and songs?

I like Diana Ross and the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and many more from the 60's. That was some really great music.

My tastes run from the Classics such as Mozart and Beethoven to the fun J-punk-pop Sounds of Japanese girl bands Shonen Knife and Mikabomb....

I hate today's "American music" when it comes to North American music,
I listen to mainly anything older than I am, particularly, the "Big Band" sounds of the 30s and 40s and 50s Rock'n'Roll ( I like the early 60s too, but, when the Beatles broke up, R&R went into the toilet , and Rap and hiphop are well...lets not get into how I feel about them

)

Judy Garland
Bing Crosby

Most of the music I enjoy listening to ranges from the early 60's to the early 90's with a few top hits from 95 - 07.

I'm somewhat different in that I like a lot of variety. There isn't just one singer or group that I can attach myself to. I like a lot of one hit wonders, too.

Some of my favorites going from 60's onward are: The Drifters, Mamas Papas, Fifth Dimension, Elton John, A lot of Disco (Yeah, I admit it), James Taylor, Madonna, Styx, ect..

I like both the Beatles and Rolling Stones....BUT, I have more Rolling Stone favorites than Beatles. Probably because they have been around so much longer.

I can also listen anytime to Nat King Cole or a good Sinatra tune. Like I said, Variety.

I mostly like music from the 50s-80s. I have ALL of the Motown collections on CD. I also have the Beatles, Rascals, Elton John, Crosby Stills & Nash, Chicago, James Taylor, Carly Simon. I could go on and on. I'm not too crazy about today's music, but I do like some of it, including some hip-hop.

coffield3 · 07-28-2007, 04:51 PM

Im big into Roy orbison at the moment, thats all i seem to be listening to at the mo that and The Carpenters.

Mikado · 07-28-2007, 05:04 PM

What do you think of Bob dylan? ive only ever taken to a handful of songs by him but to be honest never gave him a chance.

Mikado · 07-28-2007, 06:59 PM

Im not a big Dylon ( Real name Robert Allen Zimmerman ) fan but, he did have some pretty good folk songs early in his career such as:
The Times They Are A-Changin'
Mr. Tambourine Man
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
It Ain't Me, Babe
Lay, Lady, Lay
and his best song (IMHO),
Blowin' in the Wind
