What oldies to you sweat to? War, by Edwin Star? Mr. Night, by Kenny Loggins? American Woman, by The Guess Who? American Pie, by Don McLean? The Ghostbusters theme?

C'mon!

Well go ahead and list all of them, why don't you?

Just kidding. I actually like No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature by The Guess Who more, especially the synchronization at the end.

I have no problem listening to some good old 80's rock. Y'know: ZZ Top, KISS, Meat Loaf. Stuff like that.

Starship Trooper by Yes, Volcano Dance and A Trick of the Tail by Genesis, Careful With That Axe, Eugene and Seamus by Pink Floyd, and finally Same Old Lang Syne, Run for the Roses and Leader of the Band by Dan Fogelberg.

I love the 60's and 70's music. Nothing wrong with any of it. Most notables are: Fearless, by Pink Floyd, Thick as a Brick from Jethro Tull, and War Pigs by Black Sabbath.

Layla- D(eric)k and the Dominoes
Dirty Laundry- Eagles
I Cant Drive 55- Sammy Hagar
Pretty much everything by Pink Floyd, post-Animals
Eminence Front-The Who
Also, pretty much all of Tommy
Strawberry Fields Forever-The Beatles
All Along the Watchtower-Bob Dylan (or Hendrix)
Stevie Ray Vaughan. I dont need to say much more here.
Misirlou-Dick Dale
Anyone remember Hawkwind? Yeah.
Running with the Devil-Van Halen
Twilight Zone-Golden Earring
Money For Nothing-Dire Straits

Just a few good ones I thought i would throw in, because they probably werent gonna be mentioned.

80's music is oldies? What heppened to when it used to be just music from the 50's and early 60's were oldies?

Anyway, I want to pick up a collection of the one-hit wonders from the age of the 'golden oldies' (I suppose that is what songs from that era fall under now).

FYI, music from that era is some of the best to listen to when driving on the highway at night.

Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover, something in the way she woos me..

Harrison, McCartney and Lennon made some of the best songs ever, but that's like telling that sun is hot. Personally I prefer Harrison most of those guys.
Here comes the sun is one of those songs which makes me happy every time I hear it.

Clapton's Layla has that epic guitar playing and he is otherwise one of the greatest guitarist ever for me, and Queen is one of those bands which made so fucking amazing music that it makes you wonder how they could do it.

Sure Elvis is one of the best singers ever, but he just isn't near the British guys for me. Dylan is though. One more cup of coffee, please.
