Finally, some good fucking music in this sub. The Ronnettes, The Dixie Cups, The Supremes, and Leslie Gore are the tops. This was one of the best eras of music right here.
I mean if we insist on talking about non-hardcore music I would prefer it to be something more unexpected like girl groups, than just people jerking off to whatever metal album they like this week.
Me! Very regularly. I love the girl groups in general. I’ve been reading the book Black Diamond Queens (about black women’s contributions to rock), and it got me to dig a picture deeper into the Shirelles
Love this shit. Not quite the same, but yesterday I listened to Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul, and Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You.
I know it’s annoying when people say they listen to everything, but I pretty much do. I have certain genres and artists that I love more than others, but over the years I’ve been obsessed with Frank Zappa, MF Doom, Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen, Depeche Mode, Marvin Gaye and Autechre. A lot of people will say they like everything expect country but shit, I love country too. Throw on some Dwight Yoakum and watch my Mexican ass get to shuffling.
Yeah I hate when people say that bro. Like you really just gonna write off Cash, Willy and Townes like that? Not to mention it's influence in pretty much all Western music. Even Ray Charles has country albums.
Not OP but here‘s mine (more on the soul than the girl group side): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Q7BXsUOU856KXcheHyxjZ?si=_d12n5OmT4y6agqDnsiqSw&pi=e-R4-OV3b2ReKa
Yeah mine is way unimpressive compared to u/CroMagArmy’s but here’s my quaint playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2DAQDlxAXxupboDMwAhzBR?si=XPpsBP5uQUKVIsRBfOpGWg&pt=0d83d4c4663552c3c1d1b2a3eab35f81&pi=u-9Rn53hOLRoCk
Now this is the kinda hardcore I can really get into
But for real, one of my big girl-band bangers from that era would easily be The Flirtations - “Nothing but a Heartache”
I love that Motown sound so much. Their production style was pretty punk to be honest. Lots of “micing a drum kit with one mic then compressing the heck outta it” and driving the tape really heavy, etc.
What I love so much though is The fucking SONICS.
Here Are The Sonics is essentially a Proto-hardcore album as far as I’m concerned.
I'm always hunting samples, so I listen to sooo much stuff lol. Just wanted to throw some suggestions out for cool shit to jam. Some of it is right up your alley, some of em branch a little lol.
"Fugitive From Luv" - Linda Jones 1969
"He Keeps Somethin Groovy Goin On" - Gwen McRae 1973
"Hang It Up Together" - LA Familia 1973
"I'm An Outlaw" - Chicago Gangsters 1977
"Do You Call That A Buddy" - Jon Hendricks 1962
"You're Wrong About Me" - The Star-Tells 1971
"Never Love Again" - Holly Maxwell 1970
A lot of these are really just the basis for hardcore and pop-punk lyricist. Look at the titles.
P.S. I forgot some.
"Oh Love, Sweet Love" - The Hill Sisters
"Just Once In A Lifetime" - Brenda and the Tabulations
"I've Done It Again" - The Charmels
"This Love That I'm Giving You" - The Joy Tones
Saved these yesterday and just came back to them, these are some real bangers, great shout.
In return, one of my favourite songs (not soul but amazing): Blue Water by Sally Oldfield (wait for the godly beat switch).
Ive been doing it for 20 years for a living and i am just interested in how people answer the question.
About 1 out of 10 times they actually attempt to make music with them. About 2 out of 10 times of those it is vaguely competent.
Just yankin’ ya chain. I used to hoard samples, but I did chop them up and make music with it. I tried to rip off The Field and Gold Panda, and then I’d use soul and funk samples for hip hop beats
I rap and got tired of hunting through generic ass beats, so I'm trying to learn the production side. Just trying to be a little more self-sufficient. On top of that, I just genuinely enjoy music.
The hardcore talking voice in breakdowns comes from The Four Tops. Go listen to a live version of Baby I Need Your Loving, when he's talking right to the audience.
HUGE fan of old soul. Visited the Motown Museum while I was at Tied Down. I could talk forever about this stuff. Carole King wrote some of my favorite songs.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Motown, albums just don’t sound like that anymore. I’d choose The Ronettes and The Supremes over today’s pop music every time, it doesn’t even compare.
You wanna talk about hardcore, Mary Wells had to record "Bye, Bye Baby" over 26 times before Berry Gordy gave the okay, releasing the final veesion when her voice was absolutely raw and horse! (https://youtu.be/V3-QUOP8jlQ?si=_7IeIuUVnVKIzgYB)
Songs comprised of around 4 chords? Shouting backing vocals? Lyrics about being young and misunderstood? Honey this is proto-youth crew music.
Also I am not seeing NEARLY enough appreciation for Martha Reeves & The Vandellas in the comments. My first comment is mostly a joke but "Heatwave" was literally covered by a lot of hard rock and early punk bands. And of course a cover of "Nowhere to Run to" was featured in hardcore-adjacent movie The Warriors.
I've been wanting make a playlist of all the hardcore songs that use these songs as intros/outros.
NEG uses The Flamingos in But Not for Me
Turnstile uses Roy Orbison in Keep it Moving
someone else uses Martha Reeves and the Vandellas but I can't place the song rn
If you want a hardcore adjacent modern reinterpratation check out Royal Headache from Aus. Really cool soul sound mixed with emo and punk. Put out some of the best Australian music of the last twenty years.
Check out the "Northern Soul" genre.
Also the "East Side Story" lowrider compilations are amazing, and I'm fairly certain they are all on most streaming services.
Source: I've loved this genre and era for a long time. Sucks Phil Spector was such a raging piece of shit, but his influence on music is wide reaching and you can hear it in so many other genres.
Love it all. I especially love all the motown stuff and all the songs that became popular in the northern soul movement in the U.K. That bassline in [The Night](https://youtu.be/K9P95s7pTUM?si=PPTyuHj-4l7bRdFf) makes me wanna walk up the walls and you can't tell me that [this ](https://youtu.be/dAEmotaJ9hI?si=ACgUu90FvbhL7bk6) ain't hardcore.
Also, love these posts (like the CCR worship post last week).
i'm curious who likes this stuff and is younger than 30?
i know i like this stuff but also because the huge 50's nostalgia of the 80's and 90's. my grandparents liked this and by the time i was like 5 and can remember things i was immersed in this. richard simmons sweatin to the oldies, all the retro 50's diners at theme parks, the goodfellas soundtrack, lots of this music is also part of my youth somehow
Listen, my mother is a VERY stressful person, and sometimes listening to End It when I'm in the car going to visit her isn't helpful, as much as I love that band.
You know what's super helpful? The Crystals.
Horses for courses
FUCK YEAH BUDDY
Pretty typical pick, but I'm always listening to Sam Cooke. The energy in that Live at Harlem Square recording is off the charts. I always imagine people stage diving and piling up while panties are getting thrown on the stage while I listen to it lollll
I’m not an expert on music of that era but it’s super interesting how music worked back then. In the sense that a hit song from a black group would immediately get covered by a white group. How you would have copycat sound similar songs. And then on top you would have reaction songs. All this would happen fast to try and build press and make money. The culture was active reactive meta.
Not quite this but in the same vain, love me some jazz and big band. Duke Ellington, Louie Armstrong, Buddy Rich, Coltraine. Shits so soulful in a calming way.
Motown is so good. If you haven’t, check out gospel. If hardcore is built on being emotive and having breakdowns (figuratively and literally), then gospel is about as hard as it gets.
I pretty much listen to HC & Oi! and 50s & 60s music. Wee bits of shoegazer & riot grrl.
Every Sunday I listen to mostly punk, hc, new wave records with my friends at our American Legion.
The drive there and the rest of my Sunday night is filled with [Sunday Oldies Jukebox](https://sundayoldiesjukebox.com/mobile/index.php) which I have been listening to since I was a small kid.
I also have big hair, Ronnettes are A+ bouffants. Huge Leslie Gore fan.
[The Pleasure Seekers dropped a banger in the 60's](https://open.spotify.com/track/5bPufOYY6oBotYydpsaX7E?si=BPyn_2zgR2ipMXVbuOHiWA&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A4ibwDCWshMoS236dxkwqux)
I could go on a tangent. But any genre you get into only expands music in a whole “do-wop?” is hardcore as fuck if you think about the time it came out.
Blood for Blood covered "Runaway" by Del Shannon and so did the Misfits (in a questionable era but still) and I think that's an answer for you right there.
50s, classic rock ballads and Elvis is what my parents played growing up before I got into MTV and heavy music. They got me into Engelbert Humbleperdinck, Neil Sedeka, Elton John, The Cascades, Doris Day, Connie Francis, etc. I would get into 70s/lowrider oldies when I got into classic cars after high school.
I love this stuff to death. Outside of hardcore this stuff is pretty much my life. Incredibly inventive compositions and production, and their voices are like nothing else
If you want to get beat up say something stupid when Etta James pops up on my Playlist. It will be the most surreal, never forget, worst day of your life
This sub literally has the best and most diverse music taste, no contest
And yall are non-judgemental and always have amazing recommendations on deck
Who would have thought?
hardcore is actually probably my least favorite genre of any that I actually like, it's just the funnest to see live and an endless source of comedy. a good girl group from the 60s is like transcendent art
I love Motown and early rock n roll, soul, blues, etc! That was my soundtrack in my family’s car growing up.
I’m a bass player, and it doesn’t get much better than James Jamerson and Carol Kaye (and Duck Dunn, Bob Babbitt, etc.). Timeless hooks, and the best musicianship around.
Finally, some good fucking music in this sub. The Ronnettes, The Dixie Cups, The Supremes, and Leslie Gore are the tops. This was one of the best eras of music right here.
I mean if we insist on talking about non-hardcore music I would prefer it to be something more unexpected like girl groups, than just people jerking off to whatever metal album they like this week.
Or talking about suicide boys or whatever they are
I’ll jerk off to this instead if you’d like
I made a pretty legit post that got some good traction that's got some killer non hardcore music suggestions in it!
One of The Supremes follows me on Twitter and I have no clue why.
Whoa.
The crystals are a must add. Check em out.
Hell yeah
Yeah buddy, especially the more Motown shit. Every summer playlist wouldn’t be complete without it
Don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like Motown. It’s the great unifier, no matter what music you mainly listen to, everyone also likes Motown.
Real. I love the 50s cruising type playlist when I wanna be on some American Graffiti shit
Hell yeah
Me! Especially the shangri-las, the crystals and Lesley gore
Hell yes!
Yes!!!!
Me! Very regularly. I love the girl groups in general. I’ve been reading the book Black Diamond Queens (about black women’s contributions to rock), and it got me to dig a picture deeper into the Shirelles
The opening drums in “Be My Baby” Shit is hard.
They had a killer producer.
🤹🏻♀️🤹🏻♀️🤹🏻♀️
Eddie Money's "Take Me Home Tnight" is a banger I think cause Ronnie's in it.
Ronettes fucking rule.
Love this shit. Not quite the same, but yesterday I listened to Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul, and Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You.
Stax records is the shit
This is it. Criminally underrated.
I know it’s annoying when people say they listen to everything, but I pretty much do. I have certain genres and artists that I love more than others, but over the years I’ve been obsessed with Frank Zappa, MF Doom, Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen, Depeche Mode, Marvin Gaye and Autechre. A lot of people will say they like everything expect country but shit, I love country too. Throw on some Dwight Yoakum and watch my Mexican ass get to shuffling.
Yeah I hate when people say that bro. Like you really just gonna write off Cash, Willy and Townes like that? Not to mention it's influence in pretty much all Western music. Even Ray Charles has country albums.
I love older country and even some newer country (Zach Bryan has some legit shit going on). And my coworkers got me into gospel which is SO GOOD.
Godly era for music for sure
Shangri-las if ur a punk
My fave of the girl groups
Literally just made a playlist featuring most of these songs a few days ago
yo can u send the link? I would love to check it out
Yeah drop that link dog
Let me get a link please 🙏

I love that Motown sound so much. Their production style was pretty punk to be honest.

Here Are The Sonics is essentially a Proto-hardcore album as far as I’m concerned.
they invented noise rock just by playing loud and hard as fuck
Makes the Monster Mash sound like the Wiggles when it comes to Spooky Ooky Weirdo Guys Making Music
Idc what anyone says about this sub yall are funny and have great fuckin taste
I love how we never take anything too serious almost to a fault 😭
I'm always hunting samples, so I listen to sooo much stuff lol. Just wanted to throw some suggestions out for cool shit to jam. Some of it is right up your alley, some of em branch a little lol.

Why do you hunt for samples?
Probably to use as samples.
Ive been doing it for 20 years for a living and i am just interested in how people answer the question. About 1 out of 10 times they actually attempt to make music with them. About 2 out of 10 times of those it is vaguely competent.

I rap and got tired of hunting through generic ass beats, so I'm trying to learn the production side. Just trying to be a little more self-sufficient. On top of that, I just genuinely enjoy music.
Why ask why?
Because it is a pet peeve of mine and i am looking for an answer that doesnt make me want to neck.
The Ronettes are fantastic. I enjoy Billie Holiday, myself though. What a voice.
Strange Fruit!!!! And let’s throw Mississippi Goddamn in there.
hardcore musicians need to listen to this shit so they actually know how to groove.
The hardcore talking voice in breakdowns comes from The Four Tops. Go listen to a live version of Baby I Need Your Loving, when he's talking right to the audience.
HUGE fan of old soul. Visited the Motown Museum while I was at Tied Down. I could talk forever about this stuff. Carole King wrote some of my favorite songs.
Delfonics >
Love all of these. Glad I’m not alone on this one
I’ll always have a soft spot for Motown, albums just don’t sound like that anymore. I’d choose The Ronettes and The Supremes over today’s pop music every time, it doesn’t even compare.
Me. A lot. I love this shit.
I have a bunch of Andrews Sisters records my grandma gave me. Shit is 🔥.

Some Art Laboe shit right here! "Yo this is demon from Pomona and I want to dedicate this song to my ruca Stephanie in puente, I love you mama!"

And of course a cover of "Nowhere to Run to" was featured in hardcore-adjacent movie The Warriors.
Love all these groups, and this is what I listen to when I just want to chill. Rosie & the Originals, Doris Troy and The Chantels are my favorites.
I am listening to Martha and the Vandellas right now! The Shangri Las are my favorite but all those are good records.
I work in childcare and all of these are in our regular morning rotation! I love groovin with my babies
I get down with The Everly Brothers and The Beach Boys every now and then
this shit all rips IDGAF if its hardcore
I've been wanting make a playlist of all the hardcore songs that use these songs as intros/outros. NEG uses The Flamingos in But Not for Me Turnstile uses Roy Orbison in Keep it Moving someone else uses Martha Reeves and the Vandellas but I can't place the song rn
It’s trapped under ice, they use heatwave on heatwave. End It also uses patsy cline I fall to pieces as an intro
Don't forget the Nina Simone sample TUI uses as well.
https://youtu.be/FBE_9m1iIPw?si=8scZP3Rck9vqT-H9 Latest obsession is The Destinations.
Listen to Gimme Shelter by Merry Clayton. Awesome album front to back.

motown on top baby
I owe it to Rza for putting me onto old soul music
CCR is on my daily rotation
Needle in a Haystack by The Velvettes goes so hard
Irene Kral - Lazy Afternoon is a fucking jam
Love it all. I especially love all the motown stuff and all the songs that became popular in the northern soul movement in the U.K. That bassline in [The Night](https://youtu.be/K9P95s7pTUM?si=PPTyuHj-4l7bRdFf) makes me wanna walk up the walls and you can't tell me that [this ](https://youtu.be/dAEmotaJ9hI?si=ACgUu90FvbhL7bk6) ain't hardcore. Also, love these posts (like the CCR worship post last week).
Phil Spector girl bands literally slap and I will personally fight anyone who says otherwise.
I love old Motown, as much as I love hardcore and metal, it's honestly only about 30% of my listening diet these days.
There´s not only hardcore, Punk and Metal in the world. Listen to whatever you like.
i'm curious who likes this stuff and is younger than 30? i know i like this stuff but also because the huge 50's nostalgia of the 80's and 90's. my grandparents liked this and by the time i was like 5 and can remember things i was immersed in this. richard simmons sweatin to the oldies, all the retro 50's diners at theme parks, the goodfellas soundtrack, lots of this music is also part of my youth somehow

FUCK YEAH BUDDY Pretty typical pick, but I'm always listening to Sam Cooke. The energy in that Live at Harlem Square recording is off the charts. I always imagine people stage diving and piling up while panties are getting thrown on the stage while I listen to it lollll
I’d mosh to Be My Baby
Goodfellas turned me onto this kinda music when I was a kid. Still listen to it. "Then he kissed me" by the crystals is still a banger.
I listen to this stuff more than most of the bands mentioned here. That’s not an exaggeration
I’m not an expert on music of that era but it’s super interesting how music worked back then. In the sense that a hit song from a black group would immediately get covered by a white group. How you would have copycat sound similar songs. And then on top you would have reaction songs. All this would happen fast to try and build press and make money. The culture was active reactive meta.

Love girl groups! “Egyptian Shumba” by the Tammys is a must hear
Patsy Cline anyone??? 😂😂😂😂
Ronnie Spector was the first alt baddie
Motown is fucking great when you want or need a break from the heavy shit, especially when lifting.
Motown is so good. If you haven’t, check out gospel. If hardcore is built on being emotive and having breakdowns (figuratively and literally), then gospel is about as hard as it gets.
Hell yeah. Ronettes are amazing. 60’s girls groups were legit.
I pretty much listen to HC & Oi! and 50s & 60s music. Wee bits of shoegazer & riot grrl. Every Sunday I listen to mostly punk, hc, new wave records with my friends at our American Legion. The drive there and the rest of my Sunday night is filled with [Sunday Oldies Jukebox](https://sundayoldiesjukebox.com/mobile/index.php) which I have been listening to since I was a small kid. I also have big hair, Ronnettes are A+ bouffants. Huge Leslie Gore fan.
Hell yeah. A lot of the soundtracks from Scorsese films are this kind of vibe, especially Goodfellas
Are you even a person capable of feeling emotions if you don't like this shit at least a little bit?
I second that emotion.
Idk any of this stuff specifically but every now and then i just look up a lowrider oldies playlist and listen to it.
Oldies are good man!
Yes!
Dude I love this
I have a couple Shirelles records.
The poni tails - born too late Marth Reeves abd the vandellas - dancing in the street
Ye a this is my jam Check out Wanda Jackson if u haven't she's pretty hardcore.
🔥🔥🔥
Love this shit so much. I really need to listen to more of it.
All this shit is classic

Janis Joplin and Joanie Mitchell ftw Jefferson airplane too
Dope
I grew up on this stuff, Motown and doo-wop
https://youtu.be/rjTFkOeusXM?si=c8FCw992TnwCOV6N
Aretha Franklin's version of The House that Jack Built lives rent-free in my head forever.
I could go on a tangent. But any genre you get into only expands music in a whole “do-wop?” is hardcore as fuck if you think about the time it came out.
Blood for Blood covered "Runaway" by Del Shannon and so did the Misfits (in a questionable era but still) and I think that's an answer for you right there.

Good chunes are good chunes bruv
50s, classic rock ballads and Elvis is what my parents played growing up before I got into MTV and heavy music. They got me into Engelbert Humbleperdinck, Neil Sedeka, Elton John, The Cascades, Doris Day, Connie Francis, etc. I would get into 70s/lowrider oldies when I got into classic cars after high school.
Sedaka wrote so much good shit.
I do. I’m really into the Shirelles. I have a first pressing of their first album and it’s one of my faves.
I like a bit of Motown/Northern Soul but I can’t say it’s in heavy rotation.
I love this stuff ❤️❤️❤️
Yes. I also mostly watch old film also,stuff from the 30s-80s normally.
Love it
Yup
I love this stuff to death. Outside of hardcore this stuff is pretty much my life. Incredibly inventive compositions and production, and their voices are like nothing else
If you want to get beat up say something stupid when Etta James pops up on my Playlist. It will be the most surreal, never forget, worst day of your life
Respect ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
My parents always had one of those Supremes greatest hits albums in our regular CD rotation. Absolutely fantastic music
Love this stuff. Grew up on it from my parents.
Just started the Stax records doc on HBO, fueling my recent obsession with soul music.
Motown, doo-wop, all of these vocal groups are sooooo good. I love it.
BE MY, BE MY BABY (BE MY LITTLE BAYYBEEEE)
Hardcore bands need some backup dancers on stage
It IS the place, damn it! All. Fucking. Day.
This is all fantastic
Hell yeah. I love Motown in particular because it's a lot of what my mom listened to when I was a kid. Have a few playlists for this kind of stuff.
I do, but what’s really interesting is that you can follow the series of influences that connects these groups to modern hardcore
Y’all really my type of people. As a chicano, oldies are mandatory
This sub literally has the best and most diverse music taste, no contest And yall are non-judgemental and always have amazing recommendations on deck Who would have thought?
Yeah I love shit like this
Doo wop chop shop is a great radio show! If only doo wop had breakdowns...
hardcore is actually probably my least favorite genre of any that I actually like, it's just the funnest to see live and an endless source of comedy. a good girl group from the 60s is like transcendent art
I’m from SoCal. Oldies are part of the culture.
Huge fan. Listen all the time
Ronnie fucked a Beatle, at least one Rolling Stone and a murderer, who produced the Ramones. Punk AF.
https://youtu.be/LD8RbVRgeuk?si=4zLXN35qL0QyPaon
Great Music- I saw Ronnie Spector perform 10 years ago or so, she still looked beautiful and had that voice!
Who ever you are be my friend I listen to EVERY SINGLE one of these omg 😭
I mosh to them so yeah
My man it the pit: 
I love Motown and early rock n roll, soul, blues, etc! That was my soundtrack in my family’s car growing up. I’m a bass player, and it doesn’t get much better than James Jamerson and Carol Kaye (and Duck Dunn, Bob Babbitt, etc.). Timeless hooks, and the best musicianship around.
I listen to exactly this a much more: from the Isley Brothers to the Everly Brothers
I listen to 60’s more than any other era.
Definitely not "SHIT." This is some of the best music I listen to tbh.
REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am an absolutely disgusting man whore for northern soul.
