Are a huge MOTOWN fan?  

I love Motown oldies. I especially liked the old Jackson 5 songs, the Temptations, the Ol' Jays, Marvin Gaye and Al Green. Songs that were sung in that day in time were so real and full of realities of the life that was taking place at that time.

Now I think music simply tries to hard to go back to that era of time. There are few musical hits out today with real messages outside of gospel. Something that is simple, has a good message and a nice rhythm to it. Am I asking for too much?

Although I used to like the oldies in Motown music, I rarely listen to it nowadays, except when I hear it in the grocery store or supermarket intercom system. I practically know ever lyric even though I do listen to it on a regular basis.

What about you, are there any MOTOWN fans out there on mylot? What were some of your oldie jams and do you still listen to them today?
