Agreed, nothing can even compare to the talent of music writers, musicians, and singers back then. I am not saying there aren't any good songs out these days, but nothing like back then.

Re: Golden Oldies

Them "gangsta" oldies be sweeet.

Duke of Earl
Your my Puppet
Just my Imagination
Hypnotized
Whats your name
Somebody please

And everything Brenton Wood every did!!!

but I do love them classics from the 50's! I have the big "Time" collection that came out years ago.. ranged from early 50's to late 70's. shit load of cd's..

Also have that cool greaser "Motorcycle Gang" compilation. Awesome!!

Re: Golden Oldies

by the way, it's a shame that the soundtrack to King's "Christine" weren't the actual oldies!

Plenty of great 50's in that movie!

Re: Golden Oldies

Anything Motown would definitely qualify, not sure Pink Floyd are golden oldies, James Brown, Temptations, Four Tops, The Supremes, and Aretha Franklin without a doubt.
