Can't Get Enough

For the last few months I've been collecting music to put on the Ipod to be played at work. I just get so sick and tired of the radio. As I keep adding songs, I realize this generation has a pretty weak selection. Not to mention how hard it is to find appropriate work environment music for today's tunes. So I began a collaboration of older music. I have made an Oldies mix (60's and 70's - I know what the 'oldies' are), as well as an 80's mix and an early 90's mix. I love these mixes so much that here I am blogging about them. I don't know how to actually put music on a blog so I'm just going to name a few of my favorites that some of you may have forgotten all about.

Oldies:
"Time Of The Season" by The Zombies
"Wooly Bully" by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs
"Get Off My Cloud" by The Rolling Stones
"If You're Going To San Fransisco" by Peter, Paul, and Mary
"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" by Otis Redding
"Hang On Sloopy" by The McCoys
"California Dreamin'" by The Mamas & The Papas
"Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" by Herman's Hermits
"Turn! Turn! Turn!" by The Byrds
"Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night

80's
"I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz
"Tell Me What's On Your Mind" by The Information Society
"Don't You Want Me Baby" by The Human League
"Tainted Love" by Soft Cell
"Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen
"True Faith" by New Order
"I Need You Tonight" by INXS
"And I Ran" by Flock Of Seaguls
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Eurythmics
"Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard

Early 90's
"That Girl Is Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe
"Connected" by Stereo MC's
"Fantasy" by Mariah Carey
"This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan
"Here Comes The Hotstepper" by Ini Kamoze
"Jump" by Kris Kross
"My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) by En Vogue
"Tennessee" by Arrested Development
"Motownphilly" by Boyz 2 Men
"Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch

I apologize if any of the artists are incorrect. This is just what I found online. The Oldies mix is the hardest to pick just few favorites, they're all just great! I want to say thank you to my awesome parents who always played oldies growing up. I absolutely love them!

Hooray for oldies but goodies! I love that my kids know music from the 60's! I love Sirius where we can listen to 60's any time, and I love our Christmas present record player because I'm listening to my favorite old records....scratcy sounds and all!!!
