oldies playlist

[Twilight Sparkle]

dee's thread inspired me. i'm looking for the oldest of "old school"

reason being is i'm planning a trip within the next month or two and i want that trip dedicated to oldies music for that long travel, which someone close to me once loved and i have my own personal list, but it would be nice to have other people's input. i'll expand my list if people actually care

i'm looking for at least 10 songs, since "oldies" arent everyone's cup of tea. i have 3 so far, and they are personal choices. i'm mostly looking for anything between the 1950's to at least 1970-- whatever is considered "oldies" to me, like, elvis, early beatles, jerry lee lewis, ritchie valens, buddy holly, all these guys-- it's that kind of time period, before the rise of psychedelic and progressive rock, when music became more complex and the tracks ran on much longer, and there were only 2-3 minute pop songs, all that good stuff you know. would like to see wut you guys have to say

again, for you guys who want to agitate my thread, even though i said i have my own playlist, i'd still like to know what you guys have to say so i can make a personal album out of them, instead of having my list shuffled in the 1,000+ other songs i have on my ipod, with no real flow. as long as it gets me through a 4-5 hour travel, im open to anything and everything

even if it's considered early progressive im not too picky. i'm sure most of you guys know what oldies are

Funny story edit: I've always loved oldies music, so one picture day in highschool I decided to wear my Jerry Lewis shirt. It was a piano on fire with Great Balls of Fire written above it. Unfortunately I was wearing an open button up shirt over it, and when I got my pics back all you could see was "Balls''.

looks like ill be spending most of today looking these up xD

there are quite a few in here i've never heard of, or i have but i didn't know what song/artist it was

updated the list, added a couple of my personal faves

can't believe no one's mentioned roy orbison yet o:

[GLASSJAW]

can you really just have a general oldies list? so many great songs are like soul music. others are rock. others are blues or folksy or whatever. totally don't go well together

like having sam cooke next to the mamas and the papas? don't seem right

but both are required oldies listening

i don't envy your decision making problems

Because I'm doing an assignment on an atrocity during the Vietnam War, I've been listening to a massive playlist on music from '65-'70. Good times, man.
