Dear Ron:
I hope you are doing well.
What are your thoughts on creating an "Oldies Music Appreciation" Board?

Dear NaturalWonder,
How are you? I am fine. This was a great idea for a thread. I would like to contribute with some classic Bob Seger:
As a child, I always thought he said 'working for penis' as opposed to 'working for peanuts.'
Oh, well. I suppose I've got to go now. Talk soon.
Regards,
Spunker.
P.S. I hope Ron gets back to you with his thoughts and is not too mad if he doesn't like oldies.

Dear NaturalWonder,
For my next choice, I would like to present you with a fantastic rendition of Cat Stevens' Trouble. I love the original, but Vedder's cover might be more widely appreciated, and it takes me back to my formative years when music held a much more central place in my life.
I do hope this counts as an oldie. Let me know if it's not appropriate.
With a firm handshake,
Spunker

Dear NaturalWonder,
Permit me to begin this with a toast: to diversity in music. So often in these divisive times, we are pressured to align ourselves with particular genres, as if our appreciation of a band or artist serves as an indication of a broader worldview. Personally, I find this galling. To celebrate musical diversity is to resist the tyranny of tribalism, and this morning I would like to present you with Ernestine Anderson's Moonlight in Vermont:
Now, I know what you're thinking: 'why didn't this stupid asshole post Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's version?'
It is your right to ponder that, and my reasoning might surprise you. The truth is, I find Louis Armstrong's face to be unnerving. Behind that seemingly benign smile, I've always sensed the quiet menace of a sex attacker at work, no doubt plotting his next crime.

You might, however, be relieved to know that there is no basis whatsoever for me to claim that. Indeed, a cursory Google search only seemed to infer a harmful prejudice to my thinking (which I vehemently deny). Still, there is just something about that face:

Thanks for the posts. Great tastes of music and hopefully Ron has a chance to review this thread.

Dear friends,
Today I would like to share with you Quiet Riot's 'Cum On Feel The Noize.'
It is in one of my Spotify playlists and it takes me back to a time in my early 20s when a friend's mother would frequently text me, ostensibly to enquire about his wellbeing. She would always write 'come' as 'cum' (e.g. I could cum over :o), and I cannot help but assume that this was less of an innocent (albeit illiterate) check-in and more of an attempt to get me turned on enough to stuff her like a Christmas goose. It is a regret of mine that I had a girlfriend at the time and never bothered to investigate further.
Anyway, you might be as surprised as I was to discover that this was not an original, but a cover of the song by the English rock-group Slade. What amazes me is how similar their voices are. I would have bet money it was the same person.

Chris effing Cornell. What a voice. I celebrate the man's entire catalogue. Without a doubt, one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. I could be singing along in my car, struggling to hit the notes even in falsetto, and then he just switches it up an octave again. Truly impressive range. And he could convincingly sing a wide variety of styles, too.
I recently had the great pleasure of introducing my partner to Wayne's World as, surprisingly, she never watched it before. During one of the scenes with Cassandra (schwing!) and Benjamin Kane (double schwing!) I distinctly heard Chris's voice in the background and realised it was my favourite Temple Of The Dog song. Originally released in 1991, it surely counts as an oldie now, and so I would like to present this awesome live version of 'All Night Thing':
