Do You like the Oldie Music?

As I am typing here I have my oldies station playing and I am loving it. Even though it is 1am I get up every so often to do a little dancing around the living room. "Please Mister Postman" was just playing. . I bet there are not many people here that remember that song if they even knew it at all. I love this, I can stay up all night as long as I have my oldies on. It certainly brings back so many memories about people I haven't thought of in so many years.

When you say oldies, what generation or decade are you referring to? To me, 70s music would be oldies to me! lol I actually love listening to Big Band Music from the 40s. I also enjoy the beginnings of rock 'n roll when notables like Chuck Berry were hitting the scene. Mix in some rhythm and blues from the likes of BB King, and I could sit and listen for hours. But then again, music from the 60s also tickles my fancy. I guess when I look at each particular decade, there's great music that I love, so maybe I don't have a favorite oldies....I like them all!

@moffittjc I like everything from the 20's and through the 60's. I do like some of the music from my daughters era. Actually if the beat is good I will like it. Some of the music from my parents (the 20's thru the 40's) era is pretty good to like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. The only thing I am not fond of is country western but occasionally one will be okay. I was lucky as I was born in the middle of so many different genres.

That is what is important. If the music makes us feel good, that is what is was made to do. @vandana7.

Oldies remind us of some happy moments...so it has the feel good factor most of the time. We do go through some sad moments, and even feel wistful about it, but usually having crossed that hurdle is what stays with us I suppose.

You are right. My daughter likes many of the music from my day just like I liked lots of songs from my mom's day in the 20's. We just pass good things to the next generations.

@LadyDuck You are funny. I think a lot of the older people think the same way. I remember saying the same thing about some my kids liked. When Kiss was popular and a few other ones that I could not even understand.

@nanette64 I hated getting rid of all my albums and records when we moved. We were staying at a relatives house and didn't know how long we would be there and we tried to get rid of as many things as we could. I wasn't sure if they would hold up being a storage unit in Florida for very long. I have my oldies station on the tv all the time when we are not watching tv.

I always loved Please Mr. Postman. I still remember the girlfriend I had when that was popular and that was her song for a boyfriend. That was about 1961 and the Marvelette's made it famous after that the Beatles sang it in 1963 and then the Carpenters in 1975.

I like oldies from many decades since I have been around so long, I guess. I too like Big Band music and the old R & B hits of the 50s and 60s. Piano jazz is a big fave too.
