I like old music. 60's are included. I like old music because it sound better and the message are great. Unlike the music now, it is all noise.

Oh I was happy in the 60's and if I had known there were hippies back then, i would have been one haha. Small towns didn't have hippies I guess. I have so many favorite songs - I like BoZ Scaggs, Van Morrison and loved what they called bubblegum music back then. I've been having fun on Youtube starting with the Audrey Hepburn song above and travelling around from there. I have got to rent Breakfast at Tiffany's - haven't seen it in forever and I love her. thanks for the memories...Whit

Ah, I'd say that small towns absolutely had hippies, yourself among them. You just didn't know to call yourselves that then. :) I LOVE Van Morrison and Boz Skaggs. I listen to both of the every day, no kidding.

Ah, yes, that's my man Van! And you're right, he doesn't look like he did, but then, none of us do, do we? Still, it's his voice that gets me, Pola. Always his voice. And I do listen to him every day - each and every day I play his music and I just eat it up. But, hey, the guy that was singing with him on that video is quite gorgeous, yes? Pola, thank you AGAIN, for giving me this lovely music video to enjoy. I just love how you do that!

Wake up little Suzie wake up.... I can't get no satisfaction... I can't get no girlie action... but he tries and he Tries and the TRies and the TRIES... but he can't get no~!~~~! The great thing about the '60s music (and I won't even get into Bob Dillon who's lyrics were so deep that nobody got them) is that there is this inuendo about the lyrics but nothing 'explicit' about them. Of course the song 'Satisfaction' did stur up controversy when it came out in . . . when was it. . . you are pushing my music knowledge here . . . I am thinking it was the mid '60s so I am just going to guess 1965. It was in the summer I know that. Summer, 1965. Final answer Regis. God my mother was... 7? yeah... when that song came out. Yikes.

I love the 60's...love the music. I find it interesting that you are having such cold weather and the first link is for beach music. Are you trying to tell us something. Last night I did a 50's playlist for my ipod of roughly 260 songs. This week I want to do a 60's playlist, maybenext week a 70s one. My 80s one will be real short, 90s and on..nearly non-existent. I guess musically I am stuck in the past. Love big band too

Thanks and it is true...Turn, turn, turn. IF you love watching these videos on youtube check out this link http://www.getmiro.com/download/ You can go to youtube and download their videos, among a lot of other things and have them available when you don't have an internet connection. You can also set up a playlist with them too. Free computer software is the best when it is too cold and windy to go out.

Well, Pola, you did it again - got me with that music! Geez, the memories! Wasn't it George Peppard who was also in Barefoot in the Park with Jane Fonda? That was where one of my favorite lines came from, and I have it above my profile. "I can't just pick up my fork and dig into a black salad."

I absolutely can't believe that I forgot it was Robert Redford!!!! I love him so much - always have! Geez, d'oh! Thanks Pola - I just wish I could have heard the 'line' I quoted. But if I see it on cable again anytime soon, I'm going to be sure to watch it again. You're amazing, Pola!

Back then, I'm not sure what it was called, other than Rock & Roll, coined by disc jockey, Alan Freid? Fried? Freed? a decade before. In my area, what is called easy listening is called "standards." Also at that time there were no synthesizers, meaning that you usually needed an entire orchestra. The 60's saw rock & roll go in many directions. There was the British invasion, starting with the Beatles, The Rolling Stones ... Then you had your carry-overs from the 1950's. Elvis was one of them. The decade also brought artists like Peter, Paul, & Mary, Bobn Dylan (who had written songs for PPM), the Bee Gees in the latter half of the decade, & a few singers & groups also started in the 60's. Then Berrry Gordy opening up on 2648 West grand Blvd. in Detroit, Michigan in that brought big hits throughout the 1960's. The reason he did that was because after having written Lonely Teardrops for Jacke Wilson, a big hit, he tried to get his friend's group signed. That group was The Miracles. However, they were repeatedly rejected by record companies, so he went out on his own, & built an empire, having hits like Please Mr Postman, Money, Shop Around, & quite a few #1's on the Billboard charts. This record company was either the first major successful corporation started by African Americans or maybe even the only one. Anyway, hope you've got that sunshine on a cloudy day. (Oopsie - did I leave a song stuck playing your head?)

I love most kinds of music. I am pretty young and didn't grow up with music of the 60s or 70s and harldy 80s but I do love the music from those times. I listen to things from the 40s and 50s too. The only thing I really can't get into is Rap. Jazz is one of my favorites thanks to a friend and a weekend long "Jazz on the green" festival. Other then that I listen to stations that have a mix of old and new. - Great question!

Walking to school in the first grade, I was singing "Magic Carpet Ride" when all the other kids were still on nursery rhymes. Yeah I like 60's Music... AC

I like music from 60's. I usually go on the lyrics when am listening to music and admire it if it has a wonderful message, but I also use to listen to its melody. If you would have notice, today some music are just for fun. But music in 1960's are very nice to listen to. Most are soft melody music which gives a soothing effect. I am not fun of remembering titles of songs but I do listen music from 1960's on radio during Sunday's.

I grew up in the 60s, so of course I still LOVE that music. There was such a wide range too from that period, from the holdover of the late 50s light rock sound, the Beatles of course, the Stones...all the way to "acid" rock, heavy metal, Woodstock...oh my! I'm STILL a hippie at heart and love listening to 60s music...uh, think I should sing Moon River next? Hehee

I've always loved listening to the music of the 60's (50's as well), but looking at the videos on the links here brings up some bittersweet feelings and memories of times gone by. Makes me wonder how life has turned out for the "golden boys and girls" who were always listening to and dancing to those songs. Thanks for the links.

i'm italian and the 60-70-80's italian music is very very good! i belive that everyone all over the word know "Volare" by Domenico Modugno? It's right?
• United States
24 Feb 08
My dad used to play Volare all the time when I was a kid and I grew to love this song. He's the one that got me hooked on the oldies being that's all my dad would play in the house along with a few Italian records he had that I now have. My mom gave me his entire collection last year, knowing how much I loved it when dad played his music. He passed away 9yrs. ago and my mom's way of grieving is letting go of his possessions a little at a time. Now I need to find me a turntable so I can enjoy his vast record collection again. :-)

Volare is certainly the Italian song more known abroad....

i'm italian and i like the 60-70-80's italian music and also the dance music international. but i belive that everyone all over the word know the very popular 50's song "Volare" by the italian songer Domenico Modugno...
