Old time songs

[canman]

I know this has nothing to do with Japan, but I came upon this site with tons of stuff, but one of the interesting things is that it has a jukebox for a lot of my formative years, which plays the top 20 of that year. It is so great. I'm adding the link for a lot of old TV shows that I'm sure most of you old timer FG will remember. I hope posting this won't cause any copyright problems.

Keeping on the right side of any copyright discussions, in Europe, Spotify is gaining ground. Looking at Canman's list, all of those songs are available along with several million others and I use the service every day for a whole range of music. It will be something of a wrench to go to Tokyo where it isn't available. Are similar services such as Deezer, iMeem and Blip.fm also unavailable there?

Thanks Bucky, I just added that link as an example, but I just thought that some of the members of this site ywould get a kick out of hearing some of the songs they grew up with. For example I never new that the song about "if you love Pina Coladas" real title was "escape" until yesterday.
As for the site Mulboyne included I checked it out and wish we had access to it, it looks very promising.
