YaaaasGaga 6,119 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Started this thread because I usually prefer listening to old music over the majority of new music that comes out, and I love discovering new 'old' songs and artists that I haven't previously encountered So if anyone on here is the same, this is the thread for you to discover new old jams too So I was wondering, what are your favourite 'old' bops that you think not many people know about? And by old, I'm going to say anything pre-1997 (Because anything that's less than 20 years old isn't really THAT old tbh...) Comment with your faves! These are a few of my faves, so enjoy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 87,385 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I love "old music" My list is too long so I'll post just my Top 3 (Not sure if My Heart Will Go On counts cause it's exactly from 1997 lol) If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

Chr 4,217 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I honestly believe Bohemian Rhapsody is the best song ever created. The lyrics, composition, vocals, and meaning are just perfect, it's hauntingly beautiful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
