    Cool Old school music is cool!

    Hi guys,

    I have a vast collection of music both old school and the latest. Even though I like Usher, Chris Brown, Jason Derallo, Lady gaga and Kattie Perry etc[the list goes on], there's only so much satisfaction that you get from listening to their music. In my opinion, such music is not timeless and universal and has a ‘sell by date.’ I’m starting this thread to revisit the songs of my youth. Many friends have asked me to post certain ‘old school tracks,’ that mean something to them. Time permitting I will. My favourite genre is reggae music. I fell in love with reggae in the summer of 1987. I’m hoping that the songs featured in this thread will bring back pleasant memories for many..

    There are timeless and universal tracks that never go out of fashion and always move you. Remember Clarence Carter and " I got caught making love to another man's wife" or Barry Whites, "Let me live my life loving you"
    I'll leave you with the words of this timeless classic:-

    "Baby you know I think we all need to
    take an inventory of
    Our love, our feelings
    Whats involved with that with that special lady or that special someone
    when I say we all need to talk about
    all men
    all the brothers of the world the black brothers the white brothers and the brown brothers and the red brothers
    cause you know basicly that all women are the same and we need to
    we need to take in consideration that
    that women is
    Gods greatest gift to man
    and we need to take in consideration that 9 out of 10 times they will be and they will do anything we want them to you know it dosent take much to give them flowers a simple card that says I love you somewhere that they say baby I need you you know that’s why I’m so in love and so wraped up in you baby because I can give you what God gave me the only thing that I feel that I really own for life That I live in to you I give this life and my love. You know why. Just because the love I found in you I feel this way Never had a dream come true not until the day you came into my life and made it awful sweet girl you did it all you did it all for me. Please let me live my life lovin you girl For the rest of my life my life close to you girl. No one but you girl. I really got my love you got my heart and soul for ever. The greatest story ever told how we loved each other When the people talk they will smile and say say were the only ones who made all the way Hay let me live my life lovin you you babe all the rest of my life belongs to you babe Let me honey let me live my life my life my life whoo babe whoo babe whoo babe I wish that I could find another way to show show how I really feel how much I love you so Oh let me live my life lovin you babe the rest of my life love to you babe. So I give all that I have to give to you for just as long as you as you want me to Everything baby The air I breath The love I need on ever thing is everything is you Only you baby Only you I guess you could even say is just another way to say I love you . I need you I want you Let me live my life lovin you The rest of my life my life lovin you babe" Barry White

    The Power Of Love: Huey Lewis and the news
    "The power of love is a curious thing
    Make a one man weep, make another man sing
    Change a hawk to a little white dove
    More than a feeling that's the power of love

    Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
    Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
    Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
    Power of love that keeps you home at night

    You don't need money, don't take fame
    Don't need no credit card to ride this train
    It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
    But it might just save your life
    That's the power of love
    That's the power of love

    First time you feel it, it might make you sad
    Next time you feel it it might make you mad
    But you'll be glad baby when you've found
    That's the power makes the world go'round

    And it don't take money, don't take fame
    Don't need no credit card to ride this train
    It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
    But it might just save your life

    They say that all in love is fair
    Yeah, but you don't care
    But you know what to do
    When it gets hold of you
    And with a little help from above
    You feel the power of love
    You feel the power of love
    Can you feel it ?
    Hmmm"

    Salve, MEDICUS PHAENOMENON ANGLICUS CERASUS


    De potenti caritatis virtute. PLANS NIHIL MIHI RELIQUI!
    Tu quaeris, adhuc verus amor????
    Fer me ad cor tuum,
    Ego commovebo caelum et terram quod proposuerim vobis perpetim


    The rendition by this YouTube subscriber really does it for me! I fondly remember the “back to the Future,” movies.

    Huey Lewis was really big in my life as at this time in the 80’s

    It is prudent, to interpose and mention that the legal philosopher Plato says a great many things about love!

    This is what caught my eye in Symposium.

    But here [in Athens] there are much finer customs than elsewhere; yet just as I said, they are not easy to understand. Let one just reflect that it is said to be a finer thing to love openly than in secret; and particularly to love the noblest and best, even if they are uglier than others; and again, that everyone enthusiastically encourages the lover, and not as if he were doing anything shameful; and if a lover makes a successful capture, it is thought to be fine, and if he fails, shameful; and that, for making an attempt at seizure, the law grants the lover the opportunity to be praised for doing amazing deeds. If one dared to do any of these deeds in pursuing and wishing to accomplish anything else whatsoever except this, one would reap the greatest reproaches leveled against philosophy. For if, in wanting to take money from someone, or to take a governmental office, or any other position of power, one were willing to act just as lovers do toward their beloved making all sorts of supplications and beseechings in their requests, swearing oaths, sleeping at the doors of their beloveds, and being willing to perform acts of slavishness that not one slave would—he would be checked from acting so by his enemies as much as by his friends, the former reproaching him for his flatteries and servilities, the latter admonishing him and feeling ashamed on his behalf.

    I personally prefer latest music but no doubt about the old music. “Old is gold” this phrase remain true in every century. I listen some songs that mention in your post and they take me into past.

    If anything I am old school…

    The band of all times must be Iron Maiden. I say this because I started listening to Iron Maiden long before I could read or write and it was always epic. Now what is it about Iron Maiden that just grabs attention?

    Well firstly the controversial lyrics and bad stigma was never a lure… The truth is Iron Maiden was out of the box free thinking loud and there music always had a deeper insight that was missed by most critics yet there music endured to this day.

    So yes through the good and the bad I will say this, in my opinion Iron Maiden will remain the pinnacle of absolute excellence…

    Yeah! Some heavy metal tend to be a bit noisy, but classics like this have staying power.

    Why? Because they can actually play instruments and most of them can read music. Like classical music they have variation in speed and volume. Hard, soft, slow fast and alternating vocals and instruments. Their lyrics actually say something and some have the most beautiful poetry.

    Not the doef, doef repetitive taxi music you hear on the radio today.

    I just LOVE all forms of real music, starting from blues to hard rock, pop, a bit of progressive country and classical music. To me music is not old or new, modern or old. Good music is timeless!

    I am just curious why old farts such as Eric Clapton, Santana, The Rolling Stones and Elton John are still around? Why is Elvis' estate still coining more than USD 50 million p.a? Are there no-one to replace them?
