There are loads, but off the top of my head:

Neil Young - Heart of Gold
Joni Mitchell - River
Simon & Garfunkel - America
Ben E King - Stand By Me
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

OMG Kansas. I actually saw them(well work a show they did) in 1994. That song always annoyed me. Coudl be worse-could of been Carry on Wayward Son

I don't have just one fave oldie, some of the oldies(50'-60') I like: Janis Joplin, DOORS, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Some Elvis, The song "In The Still Of The Night," I don't know who sang it. I think the 5 satins. That song is way before my time. Chubby Checkers-Twist Again-aqlot of the girl groups form the 60's. There is aradio staion here that plays all that stuff. WCBS FM. SOmetimes it is interesting to hear songs that are 40, 50 years old. Such a different time then.

As for 80's. I was very much into Punk, Synth POP, Metal, New Wave, and Rap/hip hop back then. Kind of like now-but different people.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

It's just coincidence that oil men will wage war in an oil rich land
And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...

The Beatles - The entire Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album.

Perfection!
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
