Old Skool music thread.....let's hear what you were/are still listening too!

Ah...great to be back, yet again!

Ok...so...after reading that Eminem thread and being at work last night, listening to a mix cd that I made of old skool hip hop, I was wondering:

What are/is your favorite old skool groups that you could listen to ALL day?

I mean, for me, it was KRS-One, Fat Boys, Dominoe, and all the other rappers that were back in the 90s. To me that is old skool.

But anyways, lets hear what you have! I don't care if you are from Africa, New Zealand, Finland, UK, or where ever you live at or whatever the genre you like, rock, heavy metal, reggae, irish folklore, anything goes...let us know what it is!

Here are some of my favorite songs back in the day:

Naughty by Nature-Feel me flow
KRS One-Going way back
Fat Boys-The Fat Boys Are Back
Dominoe-Ghetto Jam
Chubb Rock-Just The Two Of Us
Bone Thugs and Harmony-1st of the month

Keep 'em coming all, definately would love to hear what you all have as old skool in every part of the world!

Happy posting!

;P

*BTW...Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game and all the rest of those groups ARE NOT considered old skool no matter how much you want them to be.

 

I'm from the UK and like rap. I still listen to Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5, Run DMC, N.W.A. and thier solo projects, Gang Starr, KRS-One & Boogie Down Productions. All of them are tight. Although people like Pac and Wu-Tang's debut albums are old skool I still consider them part of the new breed of rappers.

 

I don't listen to old skool rap, but I do listen to older rock and stuff.

Currently listening to:
Sammy Hagar/Van Halen
Journey
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin
Elton John
AC/DC
Metallica (old, not new, new sucks)
Aerosmith
David Bowie
Def Leppard

Okay I think that's enough for now. Anyway, I'm from the US (not proud of it, but it's not like I have a choice right now).

 

I like old school rock myself

Bob Seger
Led zepplin
the doors
black sabbath
metallica (old)
slayer (one of the best thrash groups from the 80's)

 

MC Hammer
Vanilla Ice
Two Ulimited
Jam and Spoon
KLF
Criss Cross

 

90s rap is not "old school" but if you want to listen to some good music from around that time check out stuff from the following:

A Tribe Called Quest
De La Soul
KRS-0NE/ Boogie Down Productions
Eric B and Rakim
Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Nice and Smooth
Das EFX
EPMD
Redman
Lords of the Underground
and last but not least, Gangstarr

 

I graduated in the mid 80's. Some of the music was ok but I mainly listed to the older 60's and 70's. They don't make them like they used to, like:

The Kinks
Pink Floyd
The Who
Any of the beatles,after their breakup
Jethro Tull
Led Zeppelin
Eric Clapton
Neil Young

I definitely hate rap and country, LOL!

 

Whoo-hoo the Kinks! They sing that song with my name in it . . . although I hate that song. Oh well.

 

long live good ol' rock n roll
lynyrd skynyrd
molly hatchet
ac/dc
allman brothers band
ted nugent b4 that damn yankees thing
and of course the boss!!

 

Well B2D, I don't want to sound rude, but like I said earlier in my post...I "personally" consider what I listed as far as 90s rap as to be old school to me.

Because to me, it was the time that the music influenced my life way more than this new stuff that is out now.

So this is just my personal thing.

ya do realise 'Lola' is about a shemale/tranny, aye ?, so, similar in name only, i take it, j/k.

 

I love those kinks. So many variaties of music. Destroyer and Celluloid heroes are among my favorite.

I left out another awesome older band, The Moody Blues.

NO rap for me, never ever, nope ,not i , no way

But Rock and Roll, heres my bands
Led Zeppelin...Black Sabbath...Deep Purple...UFO...Savatage...Hawkwind ...Eloy...Legs Diamond...Soundgarden...Cream...Pink Floyd...Dream Theater...Widespread Panic...Joe Bonamassa...Goverment Mule...Tool...Grand Funk Railroad...Montrose

thats a good start, but i listen to SO much music since i have over 1500 cds/albums.

BTW any of you UK guys heard of Hawkwind ,UFO, Eloy ? or like them ,great stuff labeled as "Space Rock" iam in the USA but love theses bands...

 

Ever heard of the Sex Pistols "aabbccdd". English punk rock band.

 

sure ive heard of them Johnny Rotten, Anarkey In The UK ,great song

 

anyone rememder E.L.O

 

sure great band

ELO began as an outgrowth of '60s UK psych-rockers the Move and the Idle Race, but when former Move frontman Roy Wood departed early in the game, Jeff Lynne fashioned the band as a high-tech Beatles for the '70s. Featuring a full-time string section, ELO picked up where "Strawberry Fields" left off, creating orchestral Britpop without the pretense of prog-rock. The band's slick, lush sound helped define '70s pop, and proved influential decades later to the likes of Air and the Polyphonic Spree

heres a couple bands from the past ..Poco...Pablo Cruise..you guys remember them

 

Sounds like you've been around a longtime aabbccdd

 

I love those orchestra rock bands like ELO and Moody Blues. Hell,even Queen. I grew up with a brother 8 years and sister 6 years older than me,so all I heard is the70's music-even disco-drats!. My brother use to love playing Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water on his electric guitar. Those were the days!
