I really hate the term "Oldies" because it implies that the music is out of date. I say far from it. It's CLASSY! We should be promoting that music so kids can hear something other than how to kill, rob, and other ugly things in their music. I will have to admit some of the older music has it's violence, "Stagger Lee" for instance, BUT it doesn't glorify it the way the new stuff does. The lyrics say "Don't Stagger Lee!". It warns him not to do what he ends up doing in the song.

Anyway... Off my soapbox and onto the thread. List some of your favorite songs from 1979 and earlier. I'm looking for some new stuff to add to my iPod and I like some of the obscure stuff that you don't hear often. "Hard to find 45's" type of stuff. I'll start it off with a song or two I really like that you don't hear often on the so called "Oldies" stations:

Smoky Places by the Corsairs

Saturday Night at the Movies by the Drifters

Walk a Mile in My Shoes by Joe South

River Deep-Moutain High by Tina Turner

Give me some of yours.
