Best Songs of the 1900's

[Jiehfeng]

What I really enjoy anyway. I hope I'm not breaking any unsaid rules or anything with there being two song sticky threads, but I've been really meaning to share with you all these great old songs I used to listen to in my childhood and still do for how good they are, and I finally got myself to make this thread. I reckon many from the new generation haven't had the pleasure of hearing these, I was lucky as my Dad used to listen to a lot of music and our local radio for oldies was one of the best.

This is in no particular order. I'll try to update this if I remember any other songs. For now, I hope you guys enjoy!


F.R. David - Sahara Nights


Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere


Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now


America - You Can Do Magic


Nik Kershaw - I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (wait for the chorus)


Phil Collins - You Can't Hurry Love (not his own, but the best version imo)


Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky (lot of you may have probably heard it from Guardians of the Galaxy 2)


Sting (two songs yeah, Englishman in New York is also nice)



Sister Sledge - Frankie


Culture Club - Karma Chameleon


DeBarge - Rhythm Of The Night


Billy Ocean (so many good songs, and there's more)





Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now


Earth, Wind & Fire - September


The Four Seasons - December, 1963


Beatles - Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da (obligatory, also my favourite of theirs)


Eagles - Hotel California (obviously, and also, for some reason this performance is not on YouTube so here's Dailymotion)

There's much more but so little time. Only the quality songs here so I hope you guys enjoyed most of them. I think I'll also post some new songs that are similar to old ones that are really good later. Have a good one!

EDIT: Apparently there is a limit to how much media can be embedded, bummer. I hope you guys still check out the last ones.

Not completely correct but... this is a REALLY odd post. Here's my last.fm stats.

The idea we're talking about the best songs from 100 years assuming no one listens to anything from that timespan.

Huh? I didn't make that assumption at all. I'm just saying many from the new generation may have no heard these, or even older people some of these. It's just a post about the best of the nineteen hundreds in my opinion, nothing odd about that no? I never said no one listens to anything from that timespan...

The 80s best decade by far 60s 70s also had great stuff 90s a few good songs and the 2000s just pretty shit really - Ed sheeran most overrated musician in history - people who kno nothing re 80s really should do some homework and then compare to see how shit today's stuff sounds
Oh yeh some classics ther especially rhythm of the night

There are some good modern songs that sound like they're from 1900's though. Notably MAGIC and JP Cooper. Ed Sheeran is kinda overrated, but I like some of his songs tbh, to each their own I guess.
