Silence is golden. Would really like to see the car show music canned for good.

You will be pleased to know that there is a transition in music from 1946-1954, but in 1954 or 1955+ for that matter there is still 40's style big band music that makes the charts in those years. |

Remember the Casey Kasem radio shows, where they played the weekly top 40? The pre-recorded program was issued to the stations as LP sets. I bought some for next to nothing when they were new and stashed them away. This thread got me thinking about them, and I thought it might be interesting (to some) to have a DJ play them at a car gathering.

If DJ's think out of the box, were around back then, there is a great assortment of songs that aren't on the stereotype lists, by the artists we we know.
I would mix in a bunch of Motown. And Blues, from Delta to Chicago to Memphis. Some choice country, Johnny Cash, Waylon, etc. For rock, wake em up with Mountain, Cream, Stones, ZZ Top old stuff, Clapton, Allmans, Delaney and Bonnie, Leon Russell, Beatles of course. One can keep 60s-early 70's and match the prime car era with period music. Here is an example: who remembers Chambers Brothers: "Time" there is just great old stuff that has fallen from current play, that used to get lots of airplay. Another: Temptations: 'Cloud Nine"....... on and on. |

I pretty much like everything, just wish they would turn the volume down just enough to hear the other person talk.

Did you know that the Chambers Bros was a Gospel group before and after they recorded the Time album?

I like most music, 50's included but def not my fav. But I have to agree. Play something a little more up to date. For me there isnt a lot of good stuff after about 1980 so I would say anything up to that point. As far as the comment on American Graffiti, the music in the movie was relevant to the time period. If thats that case this is the 21st century, play some current music!!
As much as I like Lynyrd Skynyrd that seems to be the formula for every motorcycle rally I have ever attended. |

I have a great idea ! Perhaps it would be a good thing if radio stations played some new oldies.

Why does anyone need music to look at an old car?

Its whatever i feel like listening to on the radio, but i dont go sit at shows, preferring to take trips in my cars.
Even listen to “AM jam” (AM radio) as that is all that is in the 65 C10 my grandfather bought new. Its pretty much like he left it, and we plan to leave it that way. My grandfather’s 65 with my nephew standing in front of it one day when we were cruising around |

It's because of the same limited songs on the same old playlist is the reason that I never listen to radio for music anymore.
Go to a car show that's playing 60's music , go up to the DJ and ask to to play one of the top ten on the pop charts of the U.S. , UK, Europe of May-June 1966 called "Strangers in The Night" that Frank Sinatra made famous ? You get a deer in the headlamp look! Call up your 60's radio station station and ask the same. Oh and the PC police would never let you play the hit song by James Brown " IT’S A MAN’S MAN’S MAN’S WORLD" and Oh my god " My Baby Does the Hankey Panky" Last edited by U47; 06-30-2021 at 02:18 PM. |

Too much 50s music at most car shows. Can we please move up to a more relevant decade. 60s 70s are at least what most classic cars are now and the music is more timeless.

You feel that way because they only play about 20% of 50's music over and over.

Yep the 50's only music gets a bit old...
More than a few of us I would bet, really got into the muscle cars in the mid 1970's through the mid 1980s when the muscle cars Really bottomed in price as just used cars- they were Break the Mold cars, and we knew it. Many Great times were had while listening to the music that came over the radio eight track, or Custom radio cassette I hear certain songs of 70-80's music and get a feeling that is tied to the experience in the car at the time. Some 50's Songs do that- but not as often as the late 60's- early 1980's Melba toast The Sweet Emotion Judge and White Lightning... Yep Dazed and Confused soundtrack is Excellent just saw "Finding Steve McQueen" great GTO scene and decent soundtrack- Great 69 GTO driving / Cop scene- this babies got 350 HP stock and the take a free ride chase. Music is OK at shows just Not to Loud. imo Music is best on long trips and in the Garage turning wrenches, maybe do [I]a Little driving on a Saturday Night... https://youtu.be/9SCzVEUlqqA?t=2 Just take your place in the Drivers seat and Now that I am the white haired Uncle, educate my nephews about "Mechanical music" before the Motor Law Really becomes Law. https://youtu.be/PjjNvjURS-s |

I like anything from the 50's up to the 80's. After that I don't have much interest in it.
Don't really care what they play at a car show or cruise, I'm not really there for the music and don't pay all that much attention to it. Honestly don't really care for the door prizes or raffles either. I'm just there to enjoy the cars, hang out with like minded people. The best part of it all is the drive to and from. Can't really stand to sit still too long anyway. |

Throw a little country in the mix. I’ll take some Hank Williams Jr. or Johnny Cash.✔️😊

Kind of lost interest in the whole car show/organized cruise nights sort of thing…started to feel like Groundhog Day to me, and the 50’s music contributed to it. Some of these events are a lot of work as well…have to get up early to get a good parking spot, leave the car for the day, then return in the evening. No thanks! Really prefer cruising around with friends, making impromptu stops every now and then...just hanging out in an impromptu way.
