I like a lot of oldies. I spent several months listening to almost nothing but Glenn Miller Orchestra. I also like Billy Holiday and a lot of artists from that era. As a rule I tend to prefer music made by bands that existed pre-1990 with some notable exceptions. Though I do appreciate talent even if I don't personally like the music

Yay for Glenn Miller Orchestra! I love Big Band. One of my favorite oldies is "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole. The "duet" Natalie Cole made with the recording of her dad is really cool too.

Thanks again for the help, Hyperlexian. I had never posted to a forum in my life before I started coming to WP, so I am still learning some of this stuff

One of my favorite songs from the fifties is Bing and Gary Crosby's version of "Play A Simple Melody":
