Recommend me some golden oldies!

Hello there fellow music lovers!

I've always listened to and enjoyed old music, but I never really had an urge to pay attention to exactly what I was listening to. That is, until my sister decided that she had had enough and refused to listen to "the sunday morning oldies show" on my local radio station (my dad listens to it when he gets groceries/runs errands).

This means that I no longer get my golden oldies fix! And worst of all, I have no idea what the song titles are!

So please, PLEASE recommend song titles (even if it's as obscure as "So-and-so's entire XXXXX album)

BTW hope i'm not repeating a thread.

Thanks in advance!!

How old? 60's 70's 80's...
The single best oldie (to me, at least) is Heatwave, by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. Second, Be My Baby by the Ronettes.
I have tons of oldies...some pretty obscure, like Quicksilver Messenger Service, Bad Company, Seals and Crofts, Uriah Heep. I have 3 Dog night, compilations from the 60s thru the 80's with songs from the likes of Foghat, Richard Marks, early Michael Jackson.....I've got Doobie Brothers, early Bruce Springsteen, Heart....I'll just stop now

All those periods are fine.

Thanks for the suggestions

Anything by Jonathon Richman and The Modern Lovers. Also anything by Jonathon solo, although that gets us up to the present day.

interesting thread.

here's some older stuff that i am interested in these days:

anything by love (arthur lee)
can: tago mago, ege bamyasi, future days
robert wyatt: rock bottom, ruth is stranger than richard
pink floyd: piper at the gates of dawn
gang of four: entertainment
pere ubu: dub housing
the stooges: fun house
mc5: kick out the jams
captain beefheart: anything you can get your hands on, but especially trout mask replica, doc at the radar station and safe as milk
frank zappa/mothers of invention: freak out is classic. so is we're only in it for the money, ruben and the jets, lumpy gravy, weasels ripped my flesh, overnight sensation (montana especially)--and the solo stuff through zoot allures--after that i kinda lost interest, but that's just me.
roxy music: the first 3 albums (roxy music, for your pleasure, country life)

soft machine: the first 3 albums are fucking brilliant.

o yeah: i am listening to pharoah sander's "the creator has a master plan" which is from the mid 60s, an excellent record, but for some reason i dont think of it as an "oldie"--maybe because it never got radio play in the first place. actually, none of this stuff really did. ah well.

Oh my God, I feel old....

I'm not out of my 30s, but to me "oldies" means 1930-1950 or so. Then a period of "Oldies Rock" until about 1965, and after that it's "Classic Rock" (to me, anyway) up until about 1980.

So, if you're thinking "Oldies" in my sense of the word, you can't go wrong with anything by any of the following:

Frank Sinatra
The Andrews Sisters
Benny Goodman
Nat King Cole
Bing Crosby
Tony Bennett
Duke Ellington


If you're thinking Oldies as in old rock, then you should definetely go to:

Elvis
Chuck Berry
Jerry Lee Lewis
Buddy Holly
Little Richard


If you're thinking Oldies as in what I call "Classic Rock"

Beatles
Beatles
Beatles

Also, depending on your tastes, CSN(&Y), Pink Floyd, the Byrds, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and on and on and on.....

I'd really recommend checking out the list of number 1 songs. Granted there will be songs on there that now seem like clunkers, but it will give you a sense of the big artists. Odds are, they were big for a reason.

EDIT: Note that I all but completely ignored jazz, unless you count Goodman and Ellington (which to me are really Big Band, not jazz). If you want info on that, then that's a whole new kettle of fish

Perfect years.. hehehe
Well, I could recommend you the song of the late Joe Strummer

Earthquake Weather - Strummer's only full-length studio album with The Latino Rockabilly War.

Any information of Joe Strummer true to life story that was documented by Julien Temple and made into film?
60's and 70's music fanatic !!! Can you help me about it?

Best Regards!!

white riot

You haven't mentioned Bob Dylan...

Anyone of you knows how to sing White Riot performed by The Clash Band?
Hehehe... I've seen the video of that oldies song at youtube and it makes me jump
Joe Strummer was the lead guitar and vocal of The Clash Band when they played that song in their concert. Here is a FACT. The White riot song was made as an OST of the documentary film Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten. They kept on talking about this documentary film but I have no exact idea about this. I only know their music but about the film I have no idea.

Anyone can help?

Best regards here!

more to the OP's question, anything by Simon and Garfunkel, CCR, the Eagles, the Doobies, Huey Lewis & the News, the (duh) Beatles and Beach Boys, and early Kenny Loggins should be right up your alley.

great!

Well I think everybody knows the song Hotel California by Eagles right?

On the other hand Joe Strummer's music could provide people with a sign of importance
in their lives, with the ability to hear stories about themselves, and
those not so fortunate-connecting people from different races, cultures
and creeds.

I'm calling for your help about Joe Strummer's documenatry film.
I need additional informations about this film..

Thanks and Best regards!
