Skyviper 1,101 Posted August 14, 2015 Today at work they were playing some old school jams (I say old school but they aren't that old ) Genre doesn't matter for me mother raised me to listen to all kinds of music. I stick with techno today because I can't stand some of the people singing over a decent beat. Some of them can't sing. So when I say old school I'm talking like Nazareth, AC/DC, Bill Withers, Dobie Grey, Temptations, The Boss, during a time when people had this thing called talent and could do this thing called singing. Some of them were ugly as hell but they sing to your soul and make your heart feel at ease or feel joy or feel love. So I'm open to suggestions. Anything but opera. No matter how hard I try I just can't get into it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyviper 1,101 Posted August 14, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYyarcp5LtU Scorpions. Still Loving You. This was one of the songs they played this week too! I could barely here it over the equipment and everybody was paging everybody it seemed. (there is always some kind of meltdown or something when a good song plays) I had no idea who did this song until now. Thank you sir! Nice songs keep 'em rolling please.

Skyviper 1,101 Posted August 14, 2015 Stumbled into this video. Talk about talent packed into one room (I'm sure this was some kind of charity event or something) But just for fun let's see how many artist you can recognize. (in order of appearance) Me? Linel Richie Stevie Wonder Paul Simon Don't Know (Sounds familiar) Don't Know Tina Turner Don't Really Know ... Who doesn't know Michael Jackson Don't Know (I wanna say Diana Ross) Don't know Willie Nelson Don't know Bruce! Don't Know "The Voice" Cindy Laupher (?) Don't know Don't know but sounds familiar Ray Charles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Nightshade/PR 6,846 Posted August 15, 2015 I always have some type of music on..in the car, at work, in the kitchen, etc...It helps me think, makes the task easier, and good music is good music, no matter who's doing it. I can only do opera when I'm cooking. Big Hair, Tight Pants, and one hell of a song….Whitesnake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujnH4yNqL8E Bowling For Soup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K38xNqZvBJI Sugar Ray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQSCKWfJlXs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ironroad 218 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) David Ruffin: Blood Donors Needed One of his hits a few years after he was booted out of the Temptations. His career started declining after that. Around that same time Eddie Kendricks (also at the time a former Temptation) had a few hits as well. The Dramatics: Get up and Get Down Curtis Mayfield: Superfly *Great album and probably the best movie soundtrack I have had the pleasure of hearing. However, the Mack was a far superior pimp movie IMHO. Iron Maiden: 666 *Have not heard a better riff before or since. One of Elton John's Breakout Hits: Benny and the Jets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vLlpJc9mW0 (one of the few songs that sound just as good live as it does recorded) Boz Scaggs: Lowdown Heatwave: Grooveline *Get your roller skates! Since you mentioned techno...why not electro? DuPont: Burn Kano: I'm Ready And because I have always been a huge Big Daddy Kane Fan...

JediMaster 451 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Some of these songs are far too new for me to call them "old"!
