OldiesWhether you're feeling nostalgic or want to dig deeper into vintage tunes, learn about hits from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Get information decade by decade on famous groups, songs, and albums and learn about their cultural impact. Most protest songs from the 1950s, '60s and '70s dealt with racism and war, but poverty and power were also huge issues. The economic inequality America suffered was seen as a byproduct of government inaction, abuse of power, misguided spending and class warfare. Sound familiar? Whatever your idea of economic justice, you can probably find some revolutionary sentiment to hold on to in these ten classic oldies, all of which protested the power government holds on the people.Though not generally considered his finest work, this ex-Beatle's 1972-1974 period of intense social activism occasionally produced some stirring music, including "Power to the People," which Lennon intended to be sung my marchers in the street, much as he envisioned with "Give Peace a Chance." This retro rocker has more form than that earlier singalong, as well as a glossy yet thick Phil Spector production that doesn't intrude on the sentiment. But despite lines like "A million workers working for nothing / You better give 'em what they really own" and a verse that looks at the movement's own treatment of women as second-class citizens, "Give Peace a Chance" still seems to be history's favorite of Lennon's protest songs. Top Hits of the 70s | Oldies Songs List 1970The top hits oldies music of the 70s is characterized by a number of musical styles. On one end, the heavy metal genre came of age with artists like Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, and Kiss. On the other end, artists like The Jackson Five, The Osmonds, David Cassidy and The Bay City Rollers created teeny bopper pandemonium. The one music genre that really flourished in this era is the disco (Van McCoy, Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor), which ruled the singles market, while the rock musicians concentrate on coming up with “serious” album projects. As usual, black American artists played a major role in this era’s music, with soul, funk and disco. They produced a diversity of music ranging from excellent middle of the road-oriented recordings to bland disco tracks. It is also an era when hits came internationally. The multitalented Bee Gees and Olivia Newton John led the invasion of Australian artists, while Swedish quartet Abba conquered from continental Europe. The 70s was also an era when punk revolutionized music with such artists such as Iggy Pop and The Ramones. Elvis Costello may have been the only artist from the period to achieve lasting inter¬national success, but the attitude and energy of the time was to influence a legion of British pop stars in the 1980s. The decade ended with electropop, Euro disco and synth rock making their mark. A new wave of heavy metal artists were also banging their heads on the chart door, while rap, which would have a lot to say in the next two decades, was starting to enjoy its first taste of mass acceptance. 011 – Ray Stevens – Everything Is Beautiful 026 – Poppy Family – Which Way You Goin’ Billy

When you scan the top hits of the 80s oldies music, you will see that rock music (Queen, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Quiet Riot, Europe, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Poison, Whitesnake, and Cinderella) continued to branch out into many sub-genres. Alt rock (Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, R.E.M., The Pixies, and Sonic Youth), heavy metal music (Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Dio), rap and hip hop (Run D.M.C., Beastie Boys, NWA, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Eric B. & Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Boogie Down Productions, Ice T) continued to grow. The death of disco gave rise to dance music (Frankie goes to Hollywood, Wham!). Female recording artists such as Madonna, Whitney Huston, Janet Jackson and Kylie Minogue grabbed the spotlight, shattering sales records, and the US experienced another invasion of British artists. Dire Straits, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen as well as veteran acts like Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and The Who packed concerts. Prince became a phenomenon, and showed the world that white rock added to black music was a winning combination, and artists such as New Kids on the Block, Rick Astley, Lisa Stansfield and Paul Young proved once again that sounding black was no hindrance to a white artist’s career. Michael Jackson’s Thriller became the best-selling album of all time. The CD’s appeared, and became very popular very fast, making vinyl almost obsolete. Music videos and MTV appeared and became an essential marketing tool for a single. This helps the career of good looking recording artists such as The Culture Club, Duran Duran and New Kids on the Block. 1980 Music HistoryIn 1980, Prince, Tom Petty, Air Supply and Christopher Cross made the top charts for the first time. Pink Floyd with their album “The Wall” and their single “Another Brick in the Wall” prove to be megahits. Their “Dark Side of the Moon” broke the longevity record on the album chart. Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You” was his second successive top hit. Blondie’s “Call Me” became the group’s second hit, happening in the month that top disco, Club 54, closed its doors. Paul McCartney received a rhodium plated record from The Guinness Book of Records for being the most successful songwriter of all time. And finally, John Lennon’s murder shocked the music world, the sales of his comeback album “Double Fantasy”, as well as all of his solo albums and those with the Beatles increased dramatically.
