Aaa, a person who loves old music!!
I'm not really familiar with anything old(-ish) aside from the cure and depeche mode (although i'm not sure if they count since they were both formed between '78 and '80) and the beatles because of an ex-boyfriend.
BUT
I have a huge library near me with almost exclusively old music so I've already written down your recommendations and I'll check them out next time I go to the library!! If you have anything else you can recommend I'd love to hear!!
Also I love the enthusiasm about making your website look unabashedly cringe!!! :DD I miss being cringe and I've been trying to free myself from the shackles of having to make something "good" or "nice-looking"!
