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: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nuEY6fQgzk[/media] Please Mr. Postman by the Marvelettes [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGPdGo7sy-A[/media] Volare - Bobby Rydell [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2EsZpobWJs[/media] You Really Got a Hold on Me - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z54-QHEZN6E[/media] Return to Sender - Elvis Presley And the 1940's stuff - [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pfCFU3Mqww[/media] Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B - The Andrews Sisters (my favorite) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIQq1j1-AQU[/media] Singing starts round 2:30 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. If I Didn't Care... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvwfLe6sLis[/media] I Don't Want To Set the World on Fire [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSK-1guFLDk[/media]
Oh man I love this stuff too! I grew up around it as well. Glenn Mill FTW. Here's me playing "Remembering You" on Piano :) [[All in the Family closing theme]] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P2PNkrOtxw[/url] EDIT: Very good song choices as well here guys. *thumbs up* Now I like me some Ink Spots. I'm glad some of these games are bringing up some of these amazing songs. I was reallly glad to see Tony Hawk series bring back some Sinatra :]
"You Really Got a Hold Me" is such a good song.
Yes this is where I belong. A few good songs: Mills Brothers - Lazy River [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH1e6G0K3Pk[/media] Little Richard - Tutti Frutti [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFq5O2kabQo[/media] Grateful Dead - Truckin' [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pafY6sZt0FE[/media] Dean Martin - Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXFoOYxMnvg[/media]
"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 [Media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgi1txjrKZk[/Media] 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 loved the Fallout 3 soundtrack, especially the Roy Brown tracks. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34ivDW_BU94[/media]
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.

It's too bad jazz, big band and related genres aren't the mainstream these days.
I could not agree more with above post!
