Vinyl Gym: Oldies For The New Year

Written on . Posted in Oldies Music.

Step into the Vinyl Gym, where we’ve giving our favorite oldies a workout! These flashy oldies stand the test of “time.” In fact, many of them involve “time” – and “time” is what everyone is talking about: midnight, when time ushers in 2024.

Songs about time still remain relevant today. Time for Livin’ by the Association gave us a peppy care-free attitude about life. Lost hit, Shape of Things To Come by Max Frost & the Troopers reminded us that time stops for no one. Time was on the side of the Rolling Stones, but not for The Outsiders who proclaimed Time Won’t Let Me.

For many, the entrance of 2024 puts them in a party mood. And no one could get the party started in the 50’s like Little Richard. His whippin’ and wailing songs like Tutti-Frutti and Rip It Up could blow the roof off of any house. Kiss would have us Rock and Roll All Night, Poison wanted Nothin’ But A Good Time, M/A/R/R/S pumped up our volume – but those Beastie Boys had to fight for their right to party!
