Getting nostalgic with music

Why not? Well, first of all, the good music being made today is "few and far between", while back in the good ole days, it was the other way around, at least every other song was a goodie in my book! So in this case, going backwards isn't bad! In fact, it's very good! And it's fun going back and remembering all the favorite teeny-bopper groups (and heartthrobs) of the 60s and their hits. It's hard to believe that was 50 years ago! (am I getting old, or what?!)

I can get pretty nostalgic when it comes to my favorite subject, music. There were so much wonderful music back then, I don't want to forget, how can I, the nostalgic, sentimental music-crazed person that I am?

Here ya go, the list I compiled so ya'll can check it out and let me know what I've missed (yuk yuk) Oh ya! It happens without fail. And I thank you, I like reminders, that way I won't forget anyone.
