Same guidelines as the original forum.The only difference is this is for oldies.I am setting the following rule:No songs beyond 1975 I'll start with a classic: When A Man Loves A Woman:  Percy Sledge I'm Amending this forum to allow the use of songs up to and including 1975  

OkayThis is meant to be a long running topic .  The rules are simple and there are a zillion songs out there, so lets see what we can do with this.You start with a song title.  Let's use  Love in an Elevator - AerosmithYou look at that title, pick out one word from it and find a new song title with that word in it,( example, In & Out of Love - Bon Jovi)  then post the new title as your post.  The next person follows.   See easySo lets give it a try.    My title is   Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith.Diane  

 Not sure if this has been done before (got tired of searching after 20 or 30 pages and search function doesn't always provide expected results).  List a song title with it's group/singer alphabetically. A - Z and start over. I think there should be a song somewhere for every letter. Any year is acceptable. Double postings are ok. Starting off with:    A Hard Day's Night  - Beatles   For the letters Q, X and Z:   When those letters come up, you may skip them and post the next letter. Or, you can post a Q, X or Z and post the next letter if you wish. Either choice is fine.

   How about another game? We can even use the songs we use in the ABC's game.  The last letter of the last posted song will be the first letter of the next song. Reply to the start post of the thread.   If someone posts the same " first lettered" song at the same time, no problem.   No need to correct anyone.   Simply, use whatever the last letter of that posted song to post your title. Have Fun!

 I looked this topic up and the thread was closed to replies. I thought to reinstate the thread and might have a chance for posting on a new thread with this new board. Any song about being old, getting old or youth is wasted (lol). Have fun!

A PLACE TO SHARE YOUR FAVORITE SONGS AND VIDEO'S ...WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?   AN OLD OLD SONG BY YOUR FAVORITE BAND OR SOMETHING NEW YOU JUST HEARD...  YOUR IPOD CATALOG OF FAVORITES OR YOUR FAVORITE CD BY YOUR FAVORITE BAND..   WHATEVER IT IS,  STOP BY AND SHARE IT HERE, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT : )

Were you there? Or, maybe you just experienced the spirit from afar. Share your stories of what you remember and how the festival affected you.

It looks like we need a new topic. So, I saw this elsewhere on the internet, and thought we might want to try it out here. You take two song titles with a common word or words, and then link them together to create a new title. For example: Band on the Run by Wings + Run Through the Jungle by CCR = Band on the Run Through the Jungle It’s okay to “recycle” or “reprise” song titles in various combinations. 

  Change a letter or a word in a song title to make it funny (not dirty).Type the correct title, then your funny one. I got the idea for this game after seeing some of my typos while entering song titles.  Will start with Fields of Gold - Sting Fields of Golf

For many an original song that they love cannot and will not ever be duplicated by a cover, but there are many songs that have been done equally (debatebly) well by others..So do you have favorites? What are your favorite covers of favorite songs?  

Anyone on the Music thread seeing this?  Went into a song title game thread, sorted by new on the thread and getting old posts.  Tried several threads.

Tried to play a rock n roll game post now with new board and sorting the thread to newest doesn’t work

The subject of instrumentals came up in another thread, so I thought it might be fun to see what instrumental tunes everyone enjoys. Instrumentals cover a wide range of genres when you start to think about it; classical (of course), movie soundtracks, pop, jazz, big band oldies, blues, country, rock, and many instrumental versions of your favorite song titles, too. So what instrumental music do you like? What are your favorite tunes or instrumental versions of your favorite songs? Multiple tunes and multiple genres are okay. And, if you have favorite on youtube, feel free to post the link so that we can listen, too!

Thought it would be fun to find photos or illustrations that depict songs. Either depicting the title or what the song is about or means to you. Fun or Serious.I used Pixabay. The photos I use are free for use and require no attribution. Please respect terms for images that you choose. "I Am The Walrus" - The Beatles   

I love rock and I love classical music. There are many rock versions of classical music. Many different bands have done the same piece. So, what are some of your favorites? I have tons, but here are a few. 1. Titles to numerous to mention -- Trans-Siberian Orchestra2. Sabre Dance ( Khachaturian ) --  Dave Edmunds3. Hall of the Mountain King ( Grieg ) -- Electric Light Orchestra

On June 14, 1980 Bill Joel started a six-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with Glass Houses, his second US No.1 album. The album features Joel's first song to peak at No.1 on Billboard's Pop Singles chart, 'It's Still Rock and Roll to Me.' His first No. 1 album? Check out the blog for the answer! Billy’s first number one song “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” provides the theme for today’s playlist, songs with some variation of Rock and Roll in their title. Some Rock & Roll song greats include Bob Seger “Old Time Rock & Roll” and “Rock And Roll Never Forgets,” Chuck Berry “Rock And Roll Music,” Joan Jett “I Love Rock ’N Roll,” Huey Lewis “The Heart of Rock And Roll,” The Rolling Stones “It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll,” Eric Clapton “I’ve Got a Rock ’N’ Roll Heart,” Boston “Rock & Roll Band,” Led Zeppelin “Rock and Roll,” Kiss “Rock And Roll All Nite,” Bad Company “Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy,” John Fogerty “Rock and Roll Girls,” Elton John “Rock And Roll Madonna,” Meat Loaf “R

Really enjoyed reading this today, and went to Spotify to listen to his new album, Brightside. Need a lift today? Listen to it.. Love it as I’m bopping around the house. ✌️😎

I have to ask, anyone watched the special "Forever Young: A Grammy Salute to Rod Stewart Live"? He was one of my most cherished singers back then and in fact attended a concert in '86 (26+ costume changes) while pregnant with middle daughter who is now truly designing woman... This special is pretty awesome. Thanks for reading.

SNL Season Finale tonight with Will Ferrell and Paul McCartney.

There’s something about music and cars - a match made in Heaven. As a teen cruising in my ride (a ’72 VW Beetle), back before digital media and streaming, I’d be listen to tunes mostly on the radio, beholden to the DJs and what they’d play. Rotating through my preset stations, usually WCCC, “The Rock”, WHCN, “The River” famous for album oriented rock, rock blocks, and double shots, and WPLR out of New Haven, I’d search for the best song in the moment. And now and then, I’d stumble upon a song that would instantly inspire a spontaneous right hand to the volume knob, spinning it clockwise to crank up the volume. So what better inspiration for a playlist than songs that made me, over the years, as Autograph wails in the refrain of their song, “turn up the radio.” Obviously some band and albums inspire cranking up the volume, like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, hair metal, etc. But I’m talking about individual songs that back before streaming, in the car or at home, would make you

 Hi Everyone!  First time on this forum.As far as rock music goes, I listen a lot to 60's & 70's music. Music, I grew up with.Big Bob Seger fan, along with Grand Funk, The Buckinghams, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, The Ides of March, The Grass Roots, Eagles and many more American acts. Not into the English Invasion.

 Hope everyone is up and about maybe enjoying that first cup of coffee!The thing I like about 60's and 70's music is that it was fun.Take, for instance, my song of the day.SWEET CITY WOMAN by the StampedersThe Stampeders were a Canadian Pop-Rock Group from the early 70's'This song was their only hit.It was released in September 1971 and reached #8 on the Billboard charts.Now, think, how many pop-rock songs start out with a strumming banjo and mention macaroon cookies in the lyrics? Fun, right?Music tip of the day - check out the You Tube site, cozyhollow. great songs, nice videos. Here all day.  Joe
