What are your favorite oldies??

[thehunter1320]

no, not old people ....

to be considered a oldie (in this thread anyway), the band must have been formed in the 60s or earlier.... me? December 1963 by The Four Seasons

 

[Gorgon]

Dude I did not get what are u tryin to say

 

[Dedalus]

the beatles would have to be top of my list, difficult to choose one song though, so i'll be silly and choose yellow submarine.

led zeppelin are pretty awesome too, i like When The Levee Breaks.

my fave jimmy hendrix song is All Along The Watch Tower..pure class.

 

[Gorgon]

Oh I got it now. Thanks deda.

Well I DON'T listen to old songs

I only listen to RAP and Electronics.

 

[thenerdguy]

Bobie and the sun shine band.
Or was it moon shine. Hmmmmm

 

[Dedalus]

i think you've alienated about 90% of the board members by asking about oldies...half of them won't have heard of any of them

 

[craig]

The obvious one is the Beatles as mentioned above. As for yellow submarine WTF? Yesterday, Hey Jude, All You Need is Love. Plenty of classic Beatles songs, too numerous to mention.

 

[The Terminator]

Animals - House of the rising sun. Also, anything by Frank Sinatra.

Thing with Led Zeppelin is that no-one told them that drum solos are sh*te outside of jazz. And their drum solos go on FAR too long. Point in case: I edited Moby Dick - an instrumental with a SUPERB riff down from like 6 minutes to 2/1:30 just by removing most of the drum solo. Whole Lotta Love, an amazing (and incredibly randy) song but spoiled by a pointles drum solo. Silly people.
The Beatles' best song is by far and away NOT Yellow Submarine. Try Revolution, Back in the USSR... there are SO many.
Cream were amazing too, but their lyrics were generally AWFUL. But they were still amazing.
Jimi's amazing. Bob Dylan's amazing.
Old soul stuff - James Brown, Otis Redding, The Temptations, Sam Cooke, Dionne Warwick, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Carla Thomas, Nina Simone - oh baby!
Jazz is also spectacular - Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Art Blakey, Charlie Mingus, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley. Maaan.
<Sighs> Old music's SO great and so much new music is dire, dire boll*cks.
Especially Electronica

read what i wrote "i'll be silly and choose yellow submarine"...i know it's not their best song, it's just their most infectious song...all together now..."we all live on a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.." someone kill me....NOW

i kinda liked zeppelin's drum solos..gave it a grand feel to each song. i admit most of the time it was done to death, but sometimes it was just spot on.

my favorite instrument is the violin especially when played fast in classical sounding stuff or slow and dramatic in rock. (see XTC versus Adam Ant - They Might Be Giants, or that fiddle lady from canada, eh?)

The Turtles - So Happy Together...

Imagine me and you
I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up
Invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So Happy Together

*drum snare*

I can't see me loving nobody but you
For all my liiiiiiiiife
When you're with me, baby the skies will be blue
For all my liiiiiiiiife

Me and you
And you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is your
And you for me
So happy together

*drum snare*

I can't see me loving nobody but you
For all my liiiiiiiiife
When you're with me, baby the skies will be blue
For all my liiiiiiiiife

Me and you
And your and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So Happy Together

*instruments*

Me and you
And your and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So Happy Together

...and from there on I can't remember shit...
What a shame, I need to get it on CD or something

 

[Sandman]

Yes.. so happy together is a great song. I don't know many people other than myself who knew that it was by the Turtles... good job! Unless of course you had to look it up... then you suck!

 

[Gurph]

Definitely any Led Zeppelin or Jimi Hendrix song
but Stairway to heaven is most kickass

 

[ComradeBadger]

Fleetwood Mac - Landslide

Pink Floyd - Bike

Cream - Born Under A Bad Sign

Qaulity.

 

[Dax]

I'd say most of Pink Floyd's songs but I think it was formed in the 70's not in the 60's.

 

[Frank]

Yes.. so happy together is a great song. I don't know many people other than myself who knew that it was by the Turtles... good job! Unless of course you had to look it up... then you suck!

Don't question me, I'm cool!
