Basically any new wave from the 80s I like.

You know, pretty much any mainstream music from before like 1995 was a lot better than the popular stuff now.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

ummm "oldies" is not anything from before 1995 :wtf: It's 50's/60's music that Bethany was talking about.

Well then I missed the 80's and before comment but the majority of people don't even call those oldies.

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.

Ummm ... okay, I basically like Motown hits

Simon and Garfunkel-Scarborough Fair. They had amazing vocals.
Beatles-Come Together. Probably my fave Beatles Song.
Herbie Hancock-Chameleon. Even thought it's not a real jazz song, it's a good way to get people into jazz or funk.
There's this one song by the Association that I like, but I dont know what it's called.
oh, and the milkshake song! *runs from people who take my jokes seriously*
I hate giant eating machines!
