When we were young, we would play my Fathers vinyls on an FM wireless microphone. People listening in the radio can tune to our broadcast up to six houses away from us.

With the advent of internet radio, I could listen to those old music again.
Tomorrow Child,
Seasons in the sun,
Life itself will let you know
& the Kodak song; Times of your life, being some of my favorites.

But there are a few that hums in my head but i could not find a good one online, like:

1. Everyone's gone to the moon
2. Someone who cares
3. Theme from the valley of the dolls
4. Jesus Christ Superstar (movie album)
5. Sky (squared)
6. Wally Whyton (children's music, the one with a teddy bear in the album cover)

There were also some relatively newer ones but were also unsearchable aside from many of those that I only knew the tune but not the title nor the artist.

Music has devolved too much nowadays that too many of them are just the same tune/formula as shown by "The Axis of Awesome" with their "3 Chord Song". I miss the old music not only for the memories but also for the quality and variations.

Any old songs you missed? What is you take on the new ones we get blasted with everyday?

I don't miss too many old songs. Whenever I go to a yard sale or flea market, I look for compilations of music from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. I have several dozen CDs and while there are repeats, there are enough different tracts that I have virtually every song that was a hit in those three decades. I leave out some intentionally. Not being a big fan of Motown, I have only three or four of the Supremes hits.

New country sucks, guess I was country before country was cool. my computer is full of music, from Patsy Cline to Led Zeppelin. Love music. Played football into college, tell all my grand kids to join the band.

I listen to Sirius XM. Before Sirius it was the "classic oldies stations" on FM.
I haven't listened to "new" music in years.


Sounds great and I would be willing to subscribe if I'm always on the headset looking for variety. I got my favorites already in file.

It's not much but I do not listen to music as often nowadays. Just a touch of nostalgia every now and then.

I like just about all the jazz I’ve ever heard. I like most blues, some bluegrass, a little folk, a very small subset of country, the entire progressive rock genre, a lot of classical artists, most hard rock, some rock and roll (yes there’s a huge difference), most synthesizer work, no disco, little pop/bubblegum/kiddie poop.

There is a ton of great music out there. But even my kids admit that much of what is sold as music today is junk. The music industry made it that way so radio stations can maximize listenership with the lowest common denominator songs.

Most of the best music is released independently now.

You want 1960s nostalgia? Look up the Mona Lisa Twins on YouTube. Those kids can “cover band” songs better than the originals in some cases.

We have extended the life of the songs we like. First on tape and later digitized as MP3's.
Most of them are in you tube too.

There is just a few rare ones but I have no idea of their titles so searching them would be a real challenge.
like this one:

Just a few weeks ago, I found one of them. It was a tune i often hear in my youth. Imagine my shock and loud laughter when I found out it was a theme song of a French nude movie.
La decadanse
The song I often hear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kTNhVXJhF0
