Awesome! Thanks. They’re streaming on the web too.
Quite welcome. I mentioned them last time someone from NY Metro metioned missing their doo wop.
Yeah, I did notice they offer streaming audio but I try to avoid that after so many stations replaced their commercials–such as they are–with insipid generic music instead of paying more for commercials. I’m listening to streaming audio from a St. Louis station right now; they use PSAs instead of the insipid generic music.
Country and Western.
Since this thread’s been bumped, I’ll respond. The term “old school”, in my experience at least, tends to be used to refer to either early rap or to sections of R&B that are at least somewhat directly connected (Philly Soul, for instance, is not usually included).
Are you joking (or perhaps 12)? I think there’s an amazing overlap between 90s music and current music. A lot of it sounds very similar and then there’s the fact that a lot of artists that are currently popular got their start in the 90s.
Hell, “Blister in the Sun” was recorded in like 1982 and it sounds like something a band would put out today.
I am an oldie - born in 1953. The two albums I am listening to now are The Decemberists The Crane Wife and A Place To Bury Strangers A Place To Bury Strangers so I guess they are now “Oldies” music.
I think that as far as the “rock” genre goes, “oldies” music is still the same “oldies” music it was when I was growing up, i.e. non-hard-rock pre-1973 rock or R+B songs. Anything from Bill Haley to CSNY.
“Classic Rock”, OTOH, is any rock from the Beatles to Pink Floyd (and including 70’s proto-metal artists). There is some overlap from Oldies and Classic Rock, such as the Beatles of course, and oddly enough the Rolling Stones, which is surprising, since they are heavier than most of the stuff on an Oldies station.
But in my mind, no matter what the stations play, I will not accept that anything punk-influenced is Oldies OR Classic Rock. Their music sounds too much different from the other two to be significant overlap. I mean, it doesn’t surprise me to hear the Ramones on Classic Rock or David Bowie on Classic Alternative airplay, but they are the exceptions.
Our “Easy Listening” oldies station is 2CH. Whenever I’ve heard them, it’s been crooners or WWII-era songs. The other day, it was on (my sister uses it to put the babies to sleep), and they were playing the Eurythmics.
I felt my mortality, lemme tell ya. I want to listen to Annie Lennox on a station that has ads for car stereos, not ads for funeral homes and incontinence pads.
