Give me some old-school white people music recs
 

See, I've been a rap/hiphop fan my whole life (which, granted, hasn't been THAT long). But nowadays I find myself disillusioned with the scene, as I find that fewer and fewer artists are putting out really good stuff. In fact, 99% of the rap/hiphop on the radio is truly unlistenable.

But I'm a big music fan, and I was sick of hearing my same music over and over, so I decided to branch out.... and I've found that old soft-rock (or what I used to refer to as 'old white people music') really tickles my fancy.

Right now, I'm currently listening to the greatest hits cds of the following artists/groups:

The Eagles
Hall & Oates
The Doobie Brothers
Chicago (their earlier stuff (which is flat-out fantastic), not their smarmy 80's power ballad stuff)
Simon & Garfunkel
The Beatles

Hopefully that should kind of give you a vague idea of the kind of music I'm liking. I really like a good melody and nice instrumentals. I don't like the hard-rock stuff. The problem now is that I'm kinda running out of more stuff to listen to. So please, suggest away.

Joni Mitchell's Blue

Re: Give me some old-school white people music recs
 

one of the greatest records of all time for sure.

Try some real blues
 

Try some of the guys who made it all possible for modern R&B.

Start with Muddy Waters. He's the best.

Enjoy!
