Sorry if this is in the wrong section. But does anybody pay attention to older music? I mean stuff from the 40's, 50's, 60's? In my opinion this was the greatest era of music. I'm a teenager but I grew up with this stuff since I lived with my grandpa who always played this music in the car.
Some of the best:

I swear to god if you give any of these songs a listen, you'll think only one thing. What the fuck happened to music. Well, maybe not. Is anybody else familiar with/ like music from these eras?
Thanks to Fallout and Bioshock, I actually like the Ink Spots.

I'm glad some of these games are bringing up some of these amazing songs.

"You Really Got a Hold Me" is such a good song.

"I don't want to set the world on fire" - The Inkspots
[QUOTE=mynames2long;18766041]"I don't want to set the world on fire" - The Inkspots[/QUOTE]
If you like that song you should try other stuff by The Ink Spots, you should also try listening to The Mills Brothers and Golden Gate Quartet.
Johny B. Goode - Chuck Berry
Oh and "My Favorite things - John Coltrane" is brilliant
Blue Moon - Frank Sinatra

Also, anything by Dean Martin. Can't understand why theres not enough Jazz being made these days. Well, I'm still satisfied with these guys.

I listen to the Beatles, The Smiths, The Minutemen, France Gall and Moondog on a fairly regular basis.
All of their music is at least twice my age.

All of this stuff from the 1920s-1950s is just awesome. It's too bad jazz, big band and related genres aren't the mainstream these days.
I could not agree more with above post!

Gotta love 1960's highway death songs.
