Ultimate
WWW-Oldies-Hitparade !
Hi friends and fellow oldies lovers, here's
once again the latest edition of your
Ultimate
WWW-Oldies-Hitparade!
now based on more than 1.450 entries.
Before anything else, here's the latest:
We have a new No. 1!! After months at the top spot, the Five
Satins finally had to make room for the Animals and their
"House of the Rising Sun" - exactly 34 years after they reached No. 1 for the first time in the British charts (11JUL1964)! Coincidence?? Is it the British Invasion all over again? Well, let's wait and see, right here on the
Oldies But Goldies site! Thanks once again to everyone who cared
to send me his or her favorites until now. If you have not yet
sent me your personal favorite oldies, you can still do it and
make these charts still more representative! If you have only
sent me some of your favorite titles, I invite you to please
write again. You can vote up to 50 different titles! So keep
e-mailing me your favorites!
As you know, any title you like can be voted, not only the ones
mentioned here. The only conditions are the following:
- It has to be a commercial record, no demo
versions
- Released anywhere in the World between 1950 and 1979
- Rock'n'Roll, Pop, C&W, Soul, Beat or other popular music
(*) denotes that there is a soundbite of the title available. If you would like to hear a specific title, please let me know and I will try to include it, provided disk space and time allow it. All soundbites are in "Real Audio" format. If you do not yet have a Real Audio Player, you can get it right here, just click on the icon
If you want to listen to some full-length Rock'n'Roll Oldies,
also in Real Audio Format, check out
