Just trying to forgot about all the sad events in the world today with the mass killings, fires, hurricanes, etc. so I've turned to music for an outlet. I know this is weird as I'm 55y/o but I love 50's and 60's music. They just don't make music like this anymore. Here are two of my favorites.
Four Preps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXd8c1BLpRQ
Bachelors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4opYhQAAao
What are your favs from these eras?
Well, Foreigner was 70’s. Sorry
But they were/are great..could do a whole thread on just them.
i still listen to Greene regularly, the old stuff .... a shame what happened to him.
Glad you like it, one of my favorites.
Actually the lyrics are usually explicit, mentioning sex and your body, etc.
Oh and the hit song that romantically talks about holding your head while you puke.

Air Mobile Rocked in the 60’s
Funny this thread came up, and people mention other times like the ‘70s.
I’m thinking of starting up another survey/poll contest on ‘70s hits. I did this here for the ‘80s the other year. Would like to go to my childhood now.
Any interest in participating, let me know!
I’m not sure how your survey / poll works but might be interested in participating.
Basically, I take the official top songs of the decade and we do a play-off type pairing of songs until we reach just 2 left for the winner.
I’ll try to keep you in mind if I get this going. My only concern though is if I start it now, I may end around Christmas; not a good time!
This was my ‘80s ending - an early reply lists threads all the way through the “contest”. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3265766/posts
Well, I probably wouldn’t do well so should opt out of any contest. I was just out of Seminary and wasn’t “deep” in to the rock culture. I just really like it a lot now. Sounds interesting, though.
No no, it’s not a contest for YOU, it’s a contest for the SONGS, to see what FReepers think is the best song of the decade. No pressure on you yourself. ;-)
What’s the name of the song?
My top 10 for the '70s
I liked Elvis and Jackie. I went to see Jailhouse Rock when it first came out.. I believe 1957.
Anything by Guy Mitchell
When I was in basic training at Parks AFB in 1955,they let us go to the BX after a few weeks. Some of the guys bought a single record player and the 45 rpm version of that song. They would sit in the dayroom and play that song and cry because they missed their girl friends.
Does anyone remember Joni James? I was in love with her.
