Simple enough. From when is the oldest song on your computer, iPod, phone, whatever? I.e. if you have some Bessie Smith, your answer is probably 1930s, The Beatles 1960s, Spice Girls 1990's, and so on...
If you own classical music please could you ignore it for the sake of this poll (although feel free to comment on it if you want).

I have an album of polka music dont know what era its from but its still better than Justin Bieber
Ella Fitzgerald and The Ink Blots. Plus, I have a bunch of other songs that I got from playing Fallout.
"The ink spots" you mean....i don't want to set the world on fire.....I just want to start a flame in your heart........
In my heart I have but one desire ... and that one is you no other will do.
It sounds like a serial killers theme song though lol, everytime i hear it i have this image of an old man in overalls cutting up a body in his garden shed with this song playing on an old gramophone lol (that would make a great movie scene i think). Fallout rules.
Is it fair to exclude song/music that is older than the 20th century by saying no classical - (which is just a specific musical form and period)? Anyone listen to celtic and other folk music for example? Its your poll but I'm just saying.
I was purely interested in "popular" music (not implying classical music is unpopular, just that if half the people here have Pachelbel's Canon in D Major in their collection, half the answers would be 1680s). I just didn't want the results to be skewed.
The oldest would probably go to my Classical Collection spanning many different movements. But since it's not a option here, I'll put them back in the chest:(
In my personal collection it would probably be 80's-90's.
beethoven lol mine would be vera lynn i love her voice and i so wish i could have been a live around world war 2 so i could have seen her live.
I have Django Reinhardt's first album entitled Paris 1945. It is from 1945, go figure.
Thank you fallout new Vegas. "I got heartache by the number" try finding that on a plastic ep.

The oldest song I have is "Come on a My House" by Rosemary Clooney. Freaking catchy!
I have some jazz from the 20's, maybe earlier, not sure. I likely have something from every decade.
I am really not sure exactly when the songs came out, but I have a few songs by Elvis, which are probably close to if not the oldest in my collection. Elvis rocks!
Solomon Linda & The Evening Birds - Mbube (You know, 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'? Well that was a rework of this song from the 1930s.)

Oh!!! Can we finally start our infinite playlist?! I want that one! :D ♫ uh-eeh-uuh...
Actually, I like several several songs from the 30's and 40's... I change my answer. 30's.
"Always" by Irving Berlin 1920. I also have "You Made Me Love You" that came out somewhere in the 1890's, but I have Judy Garland's version, so i guess that doesn't count. About half the songs on my ipod are between the 1920's-1960's, haha:D I also have old radio shows like "Suspense" and "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" fromt he good ole' 40's. No one can rock the oldies like me!
I love the song At Last by Etta James. That was in the late 60's. Also, Chain Chain Chain, Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin.
And the group Bread. Their song Baby I'm a Want you.
There are so many. I have old 78's that I love also. Can't play them. Need to get myself a record player!!!
I have about 18 songs from the 1940s.
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
One of my favourite songs in the world is Moonlight Serenade by Glen Miller, released 1939. Another song I like is If I Didn't Care by The Ink Spots also released in 1939 :)
1928
Louis Armstrong (and his orchestra) - Muggles
So fuck all of you.
