fairfarmhand Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Well, I had a sheltered upbringing, and I just discovered the Beegees. I found quite a few songs that I love. They had to grow on me but I really like them. They're fun. Now what else have I been missing all these years? I guess I'm interested in fun songs from the 60s and 70s. Suggestions?

MFG Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think the 70s are the best because they were my high school/college years. Do you have Sirius radio? You could try the 60s on 6 and the 70s on 7. Or search out a local radio oldies station that covers that period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom25girls Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Pandora (the free app) might be really helpful. You can add a song or a musical group and get their "station." Related music is on the station. It's easy to use and..free (if you don't mind the infrequent commercials). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoorsy Type Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 When I'm in the mood for Bee Gees I also listen to Abba. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 There are some really talented R&B artists from that time era that I completely missed growing up and have recently discovered. Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder in particular. What do you mean by "fun?" If it's pop, then Bay City Rollers with "Saturday Night" is a good one.

gardenmom5 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) here are some "pop" groups (as opposed to heavy metal - with which i"m familiar becasue my brother played it as loud as the stereo could handle), with multiple hits david gates & bread simon and garfunkle the monkees (ok, they were just super silly and put together for a tv show.) carpenters (karen carpenter had an *amazing* voice. her death at 32 was a tragedy) the association the mamas and the papas abba you can also go to youtube for 60s & 70s hits. 5th dimension- look at motown (record company) Edited March 20, 2017 by gardenmom5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Youtube has some playlists from the 60s and 70s. Searching on the 70s, you might get a lot of protest songs, so try going for Disco. I like Abba and Fleetwood Mac. Example,here's a couple of the lists I was looking at: 1.) Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son 2.) The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black 0 3.) Grand Funk Railroad - Some Kind of Wonderful4.) The Animals - The House of the Rising Sun 5.) The Doors - Riders on The Storm 6.) Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama7.) ZZ Top - La Grange8.) Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides9.) Dion & The Belmonts - I Wonder Why10.) Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction11.) Canned Heat - Going up The Country12.) Cream - White Room13.)
