enjoy music. It calms me when I am stressed and keeps me awake when I need to be awake. I am not sure that some of the music on the radio today can really be called music. I love those old tunes. Simon & Garfungel , Neil Diamond and CCR. Remember those old but good songs. Well there is a site online that still has these and many more songs.
To listen to music, you can either select a year from the list or you can scroll down and browse through the featured artist collections. You can also check out the category selections as well. So, here are your options that are available from the site, they are broken down a little bit.
Yearly
Select a year to hear popular music from that year. For example, if you click 1960, you are going hear the sound styles that were popular back then. The yearly selection goes from 1955 to 1979.
They have a different featured artist each week and they can be found on the main page, but to find past featured artists, check out this section. It will provide you with a listing of artists to choose from and to listen to.
Additional Collections
This is where you will find categories of music you can listen to, like Country, Show Tunes, Classical, Movie Themes and many more.
The jukebox will open in another window once you've selected which playlist you want to hear. You can leave it play in the background while you get your work done on the computer, while you shop or just while you browse.

I am a real music-lover. I fancy soulful music, rhythm and blue is great too and yup, jazz. I absolutely love classics! :D I love listening to Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick, they're way too cool! Especially Aretha Franklin's rendetion of "I'll Say a Little Prayer" I love it, i love it! [maple_kisses]
Oh you make me feel so old, my music goes back further than that, I think what you call the oldies are definitely the best music ever. [lilaclady]
Thanks for the link villageanne!;) I love music, and I have learned to appreciate music that are from the past but also with good quality. As of now, I'm listening to the 80's because this is were most of my favorites artists are. Groups, duos or solo artists like Eagles, Billy Joel, America, Seals and Croft, Bread and Air Supply are one of the greatest influences of mine. [raijin]
when i feel bored i always listen od music, why? coz the old music make me feel temperate [c4ntix14]
I don't usually listen to music very often. But tonight I really enjoyed American Idol, they were singing songs of the 60's during the british invasion, a lot of memories, and I find the kids did the songs really well. [winterose]
I love to listen to old music, as it puts my head gear into a nice time without stress. I heard on the news last night, to be careful of links and downloading music on line, as the hackers love to give viruses to those areas, along with films. Just thought I might mention that too you. Thanks for a lovely post my friend. + as always. [margieanneart]
wow that is super neat. I went in and looked at the 70's and 80's music. Thanks alot for this link [Shaun72]
i love to hear old melodious slow songs.. They are really calm my mind and charges my mind. Has anyone also felt like this.. [sunilkonda]
Old songs are not things of the past. In fact, they are something to look back to to rewind and unwind for. I dig songs as old as 70's up. When I was kid I so loved Connie Francis songs! [kixville1023]
That's fantastic. I just clicked on the link and then the music from the 1950's. I am now listening to the theme music from The Third Man. It is so relaxing and thanks so much for the link. From now on, I will be spending even more time at my pc and what's even better is, that my son just connected a new surround sound to it yesterday. [Alexandria37]
That is so cool I cant imagine a surround sound on the computer. That must be a great experience. I am glad you like the site [villageanne]
yep!i just love listening to old music....inspired by my father!Great songs by Nancy Sinatra,Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley,Tina Turner, Tina Charles.....so many!!!!so rhythmic aren't they??? and Kenny G's instrumentals...wow! [teju_myself]
i do like listening to old songs & music...indeed i like to listen to sad or emotional songs..... [piyushrana]
I enjoy listening some 70's music. I grew with 70's songs which my parents played all the time. I like the Jazzy ones.. [Neo_Knights]
yes, i love old music especially classic music... i think they are much better than the music nowadays... and they are more sacred, meaningful and more importantly, they had passed the test of time because we are still listening to them until now... just love them... [lingli_78]
Thanks, I bookmarked it! I am a music lover and enjoy all genres, but love the stuff from the 60's & 70's...I suppose it reminds me of my childhood. [songbirdnaimh]
I do something very similar with my itunes site with teh 'radio' function. I am a fan of the '70s and '80s music. The itunes site doesn't feature an artist though. I will check out your link, as I would love to be able to make my own playlist! I also have sirius radio on my satellite dish service and keep it on almost constantly!! I love music. I heard that the artists are wanting to do away with online radio sites and are really moving swiftly to get it removed. [crazynurse]
I am glad you enjoy it. LOL I first read your other comment and thought "oh she is not going to try it". LOL I am glad yoiu did [villageanne]
Yes I love the 60s and 70s music because it brings back such good memories. Thank you so much for sharing your music link with us and have a great day! [kimlot]
i dont love to hear old melodious slow songs... i like house&trance&dance and club music [posabogdan]
Thank you for your link. I love to hear old music. Eventhough we have music with good effects, most of us wont like that. Because todays music will makes us very glory and enthu , but on the same time wont be peaceful to our mind. Rarely we have. The old music tends us to feel free, peace of mind, these feelings can only be felt... [selvi4184]
i love old music. although im part of the new generation who prefer computer and hiphop. I love old music more, moon river is one of my favorites. I listen to them because they have different melodie and rhythm to the new ones. I also listen to classic music whenever im about to go to sleep. it calms me to sleep.... :)) [joanna08]
Hi, i like to listen those old songs, specially old songs, i'm very happpy when i listen those songs, i have curiousity listen those songs again and again. But unfortunatily i'm unable to do that now. before i was doing. i like sajjaddali's and kishore kumar's songs... [sonu112]
Well I like to listen to old music as well and that really relaxes me a lot. Thanks for sharing that website with the myLot community. [vampirestonez]
i love old music, some i dont but yeah heaps out there i like. i spose it happens when your parents are fairly old. [meljessxena]
i love music, its my life next to my daughter..ü i dont know what to do without it. eventhough i listen mostly to rnb and hiphop tunes, i still dig into the old ones.. on what they call, the CLASSICS.. i have this calm and relaxing feeling whenever i listen to this stuff.. when i go to sleep, read a book, or when i study for a quiz or exams, i make sure that its the one playing on my player. it doesnt bug me at all. my mom also listens to old music. she has cd collections from air supply, barry manilow, the jets, beatles, beegees, earth, wind, and fire, james taylor, bread, styx, fra lippo lippi, etc.. sometimes when im in a mellow mood, i borrow those from her.. another thing thats good in an old music is that it has meaningful lyrics which most people can relate to, including myself..ü [ayesha25]
Thank you for this site! I love listening to music. Music takes you back to more pleasant times. Calms you, soothes you, brings you joy. If not for music I would be a basket case at times! Literally. Huggers to you! [ElusiveButterfly]
I just love old style music. It doesn't need to be old. It just need to have that style that old music have. Music made is the past is so much better then the one that is made today. Today is all about hip hop and music clips with hot chicks dancing around. Even the clips from old music are better the the new ones. I guess I'm a real fan of old music. And I'm not that old. [RogerTheRabbit]
thanks for the link.I prefer the older stuff.I really can't get into this modern music.That's all they sing about is sex and violence. My favorite music is the soft rock from the 70's,stephen bishop,Dan Folgerburg,the carpenters,the eagles,carole king,carly simon,etc. I need some relaxing music you can't get any more relaxed than this unless i have my classical going. [66jerseygirl]

i love music, it doesn't necessary have to be old or new or a certain genre for me to like it. i also sleep alot easier when i listen to music, i used to learn for my exams with music in background. i don't know if u can call 80's music old, but most of my favorite songs come from the 80's. [apostrofy]
Yeah.. I enjoy listening to old music.. When I was younger, whenever my Papa would listen to songs from John Denver, Don McLean, and the like, I'd be super bummed about it.. I found them rather corny.. But as I got older, I was able to appreciate them, and I now feel that they are a whole lot better than those sang by music artists of today.. Old songs have more feelings in them, and the messages are really nice.. [CheSabCabMD]
I love all kind of music , But if you are talking about old music I must admid I really enjoy queen, I can listen to the greatest of queen everyday and I won't get bored my favourite is Don't stop me Now. Another one that I like is Beatles and I could listen to imagine again and again ...Love and peace...xx [Sicantik]
Old music gives more pleasure because it inspires the old memories as to when we first listen to this particular music and it also give immense pleasure remembering the old days. I always prefer old music because it gives much happiness than that of modern music. [navtech]

I hope you try it out. It is wonderful. [villageanne]
I didn't before,but change my attitude to old music now. All that thanks to my father who likes old music very much. Every time he plays the CD of old songs, he does nothing, just close his eyes, lying in the sofa, rest himself from the bottom to the top. I know, at that time, my father is immersed in beautiful pass time, waking up all his sweet memories of his young time. [Finvine]
There are a lot of great songs that were before twenty, thiry years ago. Those songs are fun to listen to, and also to remember. I have some praticulat songs that I enjoy to listen. Even my favorite song is before a lot of years, and I can listen to him all the time. [ILANEDRI]
Hi Villageanne. Yes I love old music, but my favorite is quite old music, Classical, When I was visiting my brother in Vancouver he has Bell express view and there were radio stations as part of the package, one was a classical station from Toronto, it was great, I was sorry to leave, as when I play on the computer I like music in the back ground, I don't like having vocals as I get lost in singing along, but find the classical, just right for the computer, Now the best part, the have a button there web page and I can listen to it while I am on the computer here at home. Yahoo Absolutely lovely music but no distractions, I have a bit of difficulty trying to do two things with my mind at the same time , this is very devastating as I was a multi tasker from the word go, now I an here and now. [RobinJ]
When you said old music, the thoughts that popped into ,y mind were " either oldies, like my dad listens to or the music that I grew up listening to in the 80's and 90's. When I listen to old stuff I remember how good it was. It's always fun to listen to something that you enjoyed but havent' heard in a long time. [marmo1020]
I love listening every kind of old music. [rojasm]
Thanks for the link. I do enjoy listening to the music I grew up with. Isn't it odd how we thought or rather think our music from our teenage years is better than today's. I remember my Mother not liking our music when I was growing up and here I am not enjoying my sons. I still like Rock N' Roll the best, the 70's stuff. My son who is 19 also likes the 70's stuff which surprises me because I do not really care for my Mother's era of music. [wmg2006]
First of all I want to say thank you for the link. I love music. When ever I feel bore and depressed I listen to some good music and it makes me feel better. I think old songs are far better than those coming out these days. In old song you can find melody and also very good lyrics. [sweetlady10]
hi,very much so it just makes me feel good on the in side and it helps to calm me down if i am up set about some thing . [kebpete]
I don't really enjoy listening to music. Mostly, it bores me. The music goes slow and has no catchiness in it. I can understand how old music can soothe the mind because it's calm. I listen to present day musicians instead. [Kelvin838]
That sounds like a really good website. I am more a fan of 1980s music however the older songs from the 1950s through the 1970s are still interesting to hear. I like to look back and see what was in the charts all those years ago. [organiclady35]
Hello everyone. I am very modern person and listen only the modern music. But as you know there are so many beautifull old songs,so I cant resist to listen it. [NDVDNYK1]
love all kinds of retro like abba, the eagles, stevie wonder, ac/dc, lional richie, bob dylan and the beatles. whenever u listen old music it gives u peace and u feel clam and relaxed. [abhijeet_audi]
Thanks for this link I love the old music I like when it was real music I don't think the music (not) of today is really music. Thanks so much. Hope you have a great day/evening. [bwrattybaby]
Yes, yes I enjoy old music. They are very soft and soothing and really very nice and luxury for a real musix lover. Thanks a lot for a great help. I really like that they have categorized the songs according the style and sounds in decades. Its a nice concept and really helps to navigate through sounds and styles of different generation. [Susharti]
I like the oldies. I'm listening to the Thompson Twins "hold me now" right now. Great Site. [miranda265]
thanks a lot for the site. i am enjoying now listening to old songs. [ryanphil01]
I love listening to old music. I grew up listening to 50's and 60's music because of my parents, aunts and uncles listening to it. I don't really listen to a lot of new stuff that they are playing today. Some is ok but not much as far as my taste goes. Most of our collection we have is 60's and 70's and 80's but nothing much after that. Thanks for the site. [dfinster]
I do enjoy listening to old music, I mean - REALLY old music. Incidentaly this is a timely topic as it is Bach's birthday! I also enjoy Simon and Garfunkel and Gordon Lightfoot et al. thank you for the link sounds fun! [Modestah]
Yes I do, I had a time in my life that I just fell in love with nostalgic music from the 50's. I guess it was all because of the influence of watching old movies as well. I loved listening to Billie Holiday, I love the way her voice is so laid back and seductive- and that most of her songs are nice to slow dance to- I still like to listen to it now- occasionally though- since my number 1 preference has always be alternative rock… Kind of a weird shift of genre from nostalgia to rock… =) But what can I say.. I LOVE MUSIC…. Thanks for the link though- I will definitely try to check it out- happy postings! [catcai]
Thanks for the link. I love old music too. The blues are good then also. Abba, carpenters and Bee Gees. Classics that really help me de-stress most of the time. [NatureBoy]
well i also like the old musics. they are really nice. but i also think that new songs are not that bad. all yu need to do is give them a chance and listen kto them. many songs are inspiring. many songs tell you about the moment of life and death or happiness or sadness. different people have their own way of expressing them. so i think one should try to listen to the veriety of music and if yu dont like then its your choice. you always have a choice.
