I have a friend who owns a record store, (yep, licorice pizzas,) and we'll put on all kinds of stuff from the 30's, 40's, and 50's...I just picked-up a Sinatra collection of 16 disks in a box, (Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, oh, yeah, baby! ) and it's absolutely intergalactic!! My daughters aren't even sick of it yet!
Also old blues...you can't go wrong with Robert Johnson, but here's a guy that people forget about a lot, Mississippi John Hurt. The humanity that came outta that sweet, simple old man is truly astonishing. It's just his voice and (amazingly complex) nylon-string guitar There's a 3-cd collection of his last works from Verve, highly recommended!!
Also Moby, pretty good, I hear...

I started looking for song's of the 70's.(ok i was born in 63)

My problem is I don't know the names of some of these obscure rock group's /song's. you know the one hit wonder's. or maybe a fave song's
(could that be caused by a drug induced haze from back then? yes I smoked dope, but not anymore.)
I listened to alot of
BTO
Pink floyd
boston
Reo
Fleetwood mac
rush
That type of stuff.

What'cha got for me?

Hey Knot at least it's not about "Globug" j/k

Well, here some I have from 60's/70's:
(just c&p from my list)
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence.mp3
Turtles - So Happy Together.mp3
Jimi Hendrix - Star Spangled Banner.mp3
Troggs - Wild Thing.mp3
The Eagles - Hotel California.mp3
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl.mp3
Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night.mp3
Village People - YMCA.mp3

Most, if not all are probably top 10 hits @ one time or another (probably have heard all of them...I don't really listen to any obscure ones.....if I had broadband, I'd experiment a lot more, but downloading an mp3 is more of a process...plus there are so many oldies, it's hard to sift through them.

James Gang?
Doobies?
Heart?
Guess Who?
ELO?
Yes?
Eagles?

Well, if you have a high speed connection one of the great things about Audio Galaxy is searching for a group, and the zillions of songs that pop up.
It's really my choice for music sampling..

Can't believe you guys left out Lynnard Skynard..
ZZ Top

Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night.mp3
Village People - YMCA.mp3

I think being forced to listen to that sent me over the edge to the drug's.
surreaal,
i stuck on 56k, and by the way how do you search for a group ya cant remember or a song you don't know the title?

A lot of it, I just listen to for kicks......there are only a few that I genuinely like (The Eagles, S&G- Sounds of Silence are a couple).

For me it was probably The Archies doing Sugar, Sugar every hour on the hour for three years.

Don't forget their other great hit-- Yummy Yummy Yummy

[caddmannq]

Wasn't that "The 1910 FruitGum Company"?

[nunyadam]

I'm Looking for group's like
April wine and ducette."one hit wonder's"

most of the others I can remember.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned
foghat or Deep Purple.
