I grew up on oldies. One of the most exciting moments of my youth was getting picked up from pre-school in my dad's '57 Chevy Nomad. Purple paint, windshield wipers that moved like they were about to lose a job, and no seat belts. This is where I learned about music. I didn't have to deal with misinformation from Wayne Coyne (The Soft Bulletin and less) or the douchebaggery that is the Cold War Kids. It was the Beatles, The Doors, The Stones, and Bob Seger. I have no idea how I turned into a indie hipster douchebag.
I'm the person that played ? and the Mysterians at my wedding reception just because we were at a Mexican restaurant.
We tend to follow bands that press play or cancel shows because Zach Hill and Stefan Burnett can't get along. We eat drugs and convince ourselves that Sigur Rós is the best band that ever existed.
HG will talk about The Residents and his hatred towards U2, badchoices will turn us onto new metal bands, nick will be a dick; but where is the love for Steppenwolf, Etta James, and Boyz II Men?
I grew up on oldies from the radio; I can't be the only person that has a sentimental feeling towards them.

96 Tears - Probably not the best wedding reception song.

Are we just talking about "classic rock" here or do the blues count?

There is only one band who are classic enough to rock.

Are we just talking about "classic rock" here or do the blues count? This is the same question that oldies radio stations face. Cool 97.3 deems Bon Jovi and Prince "oldies". To be honest, I don't remember making this thread, but I will follow up on two trends that I've noticed... Lots of black artists: CHUD creeping me out:
