The best of the old stuff... Oldies... 50's 60's ???!
Question: Being proud of the diversity within my iTunes library, I am looking to expand my "Oldies" collection. I grew up on it, and absolutely love a ton of the old stuff. Being I am only in my mid 30's I was not around to hear most of it played on the radio. I am guessing they do not play a bunch of good stuff on the oldies stations anymore.
Examples of what I am looking for...
The Temptations (ANYTHING MOTOWN)
Righteous Brothers
Some Doo Whop stuff
Yes... I will rotate from Metal to Oldies all day =)
I want some suggestions on good rocking "Oldies" The ones that will fire you up!
What's your suggestions on what I should be looking for?
