"Golden Oldies" - do you still listen to them?

Quite often, I end up listening to Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest (I think they're all from your area of the world.), Led Zep, Heart, to name a few. I also listen to a lot of R&B stuff from the 1950's 1960's & even 1970's from Motown Records, Stax Records, & quite a few that were influenced by them. When covered the right way, a lot of album guts that are not really heard much or at all nowadays on oldies formats, make great heavy metal cuts. One that comes to mind is The Temptations' You're My Everything ... it has this Scorpions' No One Like You feel to it. Nowadays, music from the 1980's is now considered oldies. I'm actually listening to Rainbow In THe Dark right now as I type this. I also have most of the albums released by The Scorpions from their 1970's stuff to Unbreakable. There is a lot of good stuff there. It seems that most of the music from the 1990's thru today goes from lacking to just utter junk. You can find a few good treasures there, but they're very few & far in between.

When I hear "Golden Oldies" I think more of the 50's and 60's than the music you've listed. But I do listen to the bands you listed, as well as the 50's and 60's music. I also listen to 40's music. I like stuff like the Supremes and duwop music as well.

The one I never get sick of listening to is Engelbert I have never really been a fan of the Stones and that lol my favorite Group was Bay City Rollers but they just do not sound the same now lol

I'm an golden oldies fan of music, especially R&B and pop music from Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, Jackson 5, The Eagles, Abba, Bee Gees, Earth Wind and Fire, Four Tops, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie and the list goes on.

I'm a classic rock freak, 70's and 80's mostly but I can go back to the 50's and 60's hit songs and still remember all the words! LOL The band I'm in does mostly 70's and 80's classics but we do some new stuff too. I like a lot of the newer hard rock stuff, Nickelback, Disturbed, Godsmack are some of my favorites. But sometimes I just have to get out my old Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Molly Hatchet, Poison, Whitesnake, Metallica, etc...

im only 19 and i appreciate old songs. songs of carpenters, beegees, rod stewart, fra lippo lippi, barry manilow, stevie wonders and others..

I still do listen to most of them, with some from our very own filipino brand of music!;) As for worldly known artist's: I listen to Air Supply mostly from their top rated albums, like their "Greatest Hits album," "The Very Best of Air Supply," and "All Out of Love.. Live!" From Bread, I listen to most of their albums that was very popular during their time. I could still name some more, but I prefer to give way to others for them to get a chance to add a few..=)

i love listening to old songs.. i have here the music of spandau ballet, fra lippo lippi, the cascades, evergreen, beatles, kiss, pink floyd, bread of course and other more.. ooops, before i forgot, ABBA of course is one of my favorites.. i just love listening to music, especially the old ones... i just can't explain the feeling everytime i hear old musics..

hi, yeah,i listen to oldies.i am an indian.i am a hindi movie and hindi songs' die-hard fan.i listen to kishor,rafi till now.i love these musi.they are evergreen. Arindam

Oh yes I do; I love Motown and I listen to it from time to time when I want to hear something good and upbeat.as well as music from the 60s to now. Sometimes I go back even further depending on what I'm feeling on myself; I guess I am at the age where I can listen to a certain song and remember what I was doing at the particular time. Interesting.

Hi there. Im into oldies too eg; Pink Floyd, Eagles, Dragon, Thin Lizzy, The Police, Australian Crawl, Rolling Stones and a whole lot more... There aint nothing wrong with oldies...

I like to listen to Joe Cocker, Joe Cocker Album. When I visit my Mom. She has the album and a record player. I like to hear it on vinyl, it sounds better. CD just doesn't do it for me. I have alot of albums of the era but no turntable, sure do miss hearing them. I have 8-tracks too, now that's a totally different experience. Peace, Totty

I listen to music that spans 4 decades, from the 70s till recent times. Mostly, these are hit songs that make the charts and were popular during their time. Some are golden oldies and many are evergreens. They are really very listenable and one can never forget them even years later, unlike some of today's songs which will be here today and gone tomorrow. Even some of the artistes today won't be around for long.

hahahahahaha i am 16 and i listen to the oldies i love the song missippi river missippi man and i love the rose i love pastie cline dont know if thats how you spell her name tho i love the judds and dolly parten i think im the only girl thats my age that listens to my moms oldies lol or likes the same songs yet sings alonf to them lol

I'm a big 80's fan but I do love some of the older stuff. I was born in 1969 so really missed out on the 60's stuff but still appreciate alot of the music back then. Not really into Elvis but I do love some of the 60's stuff!

You betcha! I love most anything from the 60's, 70's and 80's. The 'music' of today just doesn't do it for me. I hear very little instrumentation and the 'vocals' are basiclly either someone talking or screaming! Some of my favorite oldies are The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Police, Billy Joel, Chicago and more! I've dated myself I know, but that is okay with me!

Oh I am definately a "golden oldie", and I still listem to the songs of my teenage years (1970's) all the time. I still listen to "Rumours" a lot too, and "Dark Side ofthe Moon". My own special favourite is "Selling England by the Pound" by Genesis. I revised for my O'Levels to the strains of Peter Gabriel singing those immortal starting words, "Can you tell me were my couhtry lies", and I still sing it now, - though only in private as I never could sing. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. Oh - and as for Rod Stewart....... I saw him at the Diana concert a few weeks ago, and his live version of "Maggie May" was still better than all the younger srtists could ever perform in my opinion!!

I love the sound trac of American Graffiti. I have the VCR and watch it several times a yr. I listen to the music real often too. Brings back my childhood!Golden Oldies...

I'm a younger person and I listen to all of those bands. I love them, especially the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. My dad brought me up listening to all that music, and I've never gotten away from it. It's better than most of the music that my generation has made.

I couldn't agree more. I still feel the best music was created from the late 60's, through the 70's to the early 80's. That is why a lot of hits nowadays are remakes of music from the 70's. In those days the words still made sense and the artists really made the music. Today most "music" are completely electronic or you can't make out a word the artist is saying. I am so glad that there are more people who keep the good music alive.
