You MUST be a young person. I never get tired of hearing the "Oldies" .... but what are oldies to you is contempory to me (and most other people who have entered classic mustangs in the shows).

Around 9/15/2003 1:59 PM, Katmandu felt the need to say:

I used to listen to nothing but oldies (KBSG in Seattle,

"Mustang Sally"

"Little Cobra"

"Born to run"

All great s> .....maybe it's just me, but are you sick and tired of hearing "Oldie

NEVER!

Eh, it kinda goes both ways I suppose. I like the old car hop music... usually they have it blaring so damn loud that it's distorted like crazy, which I could live without.

Then again, when you have a younger crowd there and more newer cars, it'd be ok to mix in a few classic rock songs that most everyone knows and can relate to in some sense. Between the drugs, there were more than enough songs in the 60s that were car-related that they have enough to pick from.

Yeah, I'm a young guy too... but... a little bit of variation is a good thing.

Well if you consider 41year old "young" ! ;>) ;>)

I don't mean to insult folks taste in music, but it seems the "only" music that gets played at shows around here is Early/Mid 50s music!

I KNOW there is an "older" (than me) crowd in attendance, but there are an awful lot more "younger' folks (than me) participating and attending these events as well.

Maybe the DJs could start playing abit MORE variety! Also, the DJ at this past weekends show had the music BLASTING! You couldn't hear yourself think

Now..... I grew up melting my ears to the likes of Ted Nugent "The Motor City Mad Man", so loud music normally doesn't bother me, but at a Car Show ??

Is this just a local thing or what ?? Or am I "just" getting OLD ???? LMAO!!

Check out the Ford Eng> >...maybe it's just me, but are you sick and tired of hearing "Oldie

the only music that should be heard at car shows is Jan & Dean, Beach Boys, and perhaps some other hot rod groups...

Possibly you should stop going to car shows for a while :)

Generally, if you ask for a modern "car guy" song, they will play it. I used to have a DJ that every time he saw me at a show would dedicate "I can't drive 55" to me...........Every time...............

Aw, Bill, Sammy's still old. How about "Dragula" by Rob Zombie? Now that's a modern car guy song. ;)

Personally, I'll take Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally" any day...

I knew you were just another one of those young whipper-snappers trying to ruin things for the rest of us! LMAO!

I guess I would't be opposed to a little Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Rolling Stones and even some Beatles music played at these events. So long as they keep it loud enough to hear the music, but low enough to carry on a conversation a couple hundred feet from the speakers. :-)

Loud is good, distorted is torture. Why cant people understand that?!!!

Please - NOTHING from the 50's except Chuck Berry and Little Richard.

I am 60 .. do the MATH.. and I absolutely HATE '50's oldies, even the ones I bought ewhen they came out.

Selected Jan and Dean and Beach Boys are ok... otherwise Motown and various precursors to late 60's metal.

I go to class ('60) reunions and end up gritting my teeth the whole time... those nudniks never listened to rock after they left collich. While the mid-late 60's were WONDERFUL with bar cover bands on every block.

Well, that's the thing right there. The thing about the moldy oldies is at least they don't get on anybody's nerves. It's aural wall paper,is all. But if they opened the door to rap or techno or diva-pop it'd be pure hell for most of the crowd anytime such a number was played. Go spend a half hour in some trendy teenie-bopper clothing store sometime and imagine that racket coming out of the PA at the next car show you go to. And anyway, ARE there any rap tunes about cars?

how about if Bob Dylan recroded a CD of the greatest surf and hot rod songs of the sixties and THAT was played at car shows?

Can you imagine Dylan singing: "three deuces and a four-or speeeeeed, and a three eighty-nan..."

Every Tuesday night from early June to early Sept. at the local show in Bourne Ma. they play 60's & 70's tunes. Generally 275- 325 cars show up. On plaque nights between 600 - 700 cars. Quite the event.
