I love Supertramp... classic man

[KenJi]

Alphaville - Big In Japan
Bob Marley - Lookin In Your Big Brown Eyes *Also Inner Soul*
Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
Anything Starship - We Built This City, Nothings Gonna Stop Us, Sara
Anything Outfields - Your Love, All The Love In The World

New Order, Madonna, and anything Michael Jackson

and ELVIS for me of coarse.

Unless your talking more like 50's, 60's, cause most of those songs are from the 80's that I listed.

Dude I'm pretty sure she meant oldies. As in like old normal music like Sinatra, Elvis whatever.

Not trance oldies....

are posters seriously on here getting to this low level intelligence...

[tiedye]

dude, old is old. Who cares?

[KenJi]

I'll take that last comment back because I didn't know she was including electronica too.

Though I was assuming she meant like normal oldies.

I still go by that rank one - airwave doesn't seem much like an oldie. Its not even that old by electronic standards. Its just a classic popular track..

[tiedye]

I haven't heard of either of them before now, so I dunno. I think if Tears For Fears is accepted, other electronica can be too. After all, Tears For Fears are basically a live PA group.

[KenJi]

I'll never consider electronica as music. Most likely because I mostly listen to quote oldies myself, but to go alone with that electronic songs from the 70,80 or maybe even early 90's I might consider oldies, but airwave does not all into that group.

Rank one airwave is an trance anthem which isn't even older than 10 years as far as I know.

Most actually all of the songs that have been posted in this thread are at least over 15-20 year old songs.

Let me ask you this would you consider the backstreet boys to be oldies cause they came out in the 90's

[tiedye]

Well, Green Day gets air time on Classic Rock 101.

[Cool-Water]

well if we're speakin OLDIES OLD then JOHNY CASH!! WHOOT
