Title: Where is rock n' roll today???
Post by: kookadams on April 30, 2011, 09:33:53 AM
I grew up listening to stations like k-earth 101, 99.9 kola and k-best 95; that was my exposure to rock n' roll as a child; but nowadays they never play any 50s-60s rock. It's always late 60s, 70s and even 80s?!? You  rarely ever hear a Beach Boys song, pretty much hardly ever any Jan & Dean, Dion, Frankie Valli or any of the other real rock n roll. fuckin lame!

They're considered "oldies" now, that's why...

Even when I was a little kid (which was only 10-15 years ago) the Beach Boys were played on the oldies station.

Pretty soon... find them on classical stations...  :hat

Where I live, oldies stations can't even exist anymore. There was one for about 20 years, and then they got rid of it. A couple years back they tried to bring another one into the market, but it didn't last. The closest you can get is classic rock and a station that plays stuff from the 70's through the 90's.
