Not only a fantastic movie, but the one song amongst a multitude of brilliant others that Jerry Lee Lewis is famous for. I love Jerry Lee.
Elvis, The Temptations, The Dell-Vikings, Frankie Valon and the Teenagers, Buddy Holly, and various others make for some odd stares when a fat teenager is humming them as he walked through the mall.
What kind of old music do you courtisans and gentle-fops listen to?

But he's no Boccherini.
He... uh... yeah, you're right, nevermind.
Gary Lewis and the Playboys
The Drifters
The Vogues
Dianna Ross and the Supremes
I don't care what anyone says. I fucking love the Supremes.
Bobby Darin was the shit before he turned all hippie on everyone.
Edit: Ray Charles, too.
Sinatra was awesome and so were his movies but Bobby Darin wrote all his own music. God knows who the man would have surpassed had he been given a stronger heart.
t Metzger Meister: Jerry Lewis did one thing right. He gave us Gary Lewis.
Some of those might not be considered old but I'm only 22 so they're old enough for me.
But the intro to Baba O'Riley makes my ears bleed with pleasure. I used to smoke a little weed after work, crank the windows down, and blast that shit.
Man those were the days.
You're a generation ahead of this thread dude.
It's more because of the Youtube video that compiled all the one-liners and a particular Weebl and Bob toon
Ehhhhhh. Someone else talked about a kid shitting in a shower stall, I don't feel too bad about bringing up The Who or Dylan.
What really scares me is that one day, when I'm old and decrepit, I will turn on the oldies station, and 50 Cent, Lil Jon, "Diddy" or some bullshit like that will come on.
And that will be the day that I kill myself.
e: this was directed at bucket
I love them though
livin' in a loooonely world... :whistle:
This thread is about oldies, and since Journey is officially on oldies stations, they count.
DOOOON'T STOP, BELIEEEEEVIN'! :whistle:
My friend and I were talking about that the other day; he claimed that today's music is less meaningful because it's more produced, engineered, written by others, etc. I disagreed, citing primarily Modest Mouse. Sure, their older albums are great, with little to no production, and carry a lot of value. However, you look at stuff like Good News for People Who Love Bad News or WWDBTSES, it's obviously more produced, but just as good as the previous stuff. Is the music worse because it's more produced? Not in my opinion, it's just that the engineers and producers deserve a lot of musical credit right alongside the band. And in the case of those who don't write their own material, the writers deserve credit too.
Keep in mind bad music is bad music, regardless of how the production process goes, and that's not what I'm talking about.

Anything my dad made me listen to is oldies to me, so sorry if I derailed your talk of Sinatra and big bands of the 20's and 30's. I probably skimmed more than I should have when reading the other posts...
Dire Straits is awesome. Along with Stevie Ray Vaughn and George Thoroughgood, you have a white guys do blues guitar correctly super team.

See, the thing is, music being produced obviously does not lessen it's value. To me, that just says the artist who is handling the music just takes it seriously and wants it to sound as good as possible. However, if the only talent of the performer in question comes from some good filters and an awesome studio engineer, then there's a problem.
My dad "made me" listen to it growing up, but it's still not oldies.
"On Every Street" came out in 1991!
If I had to list my top 20 songs, probably at least 5 would be Dire Straits.
