This is why there are 60s, 70s, and other time genre catch all stations. Oldies isn't specific. 60s is. If you just want 60s music listen to a 60s radio station. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
I never got how the gold curtains made Obama a Muslim.
Radio will be even more prominent as the world transitions to driverless vehicles.I kind of can't wait until they play 00's-10's on oldies. Like all of the music you like in one place is a dream. Too bad radio will be dead by then.
LmaoWell "how the gold curtains made Obama a Muslim" was a pretty esoteric band back in the 80's but they were ahead of their time for sure.
I have bad news for you. Nick at Night shows Friends and The George Lopez Show these days. The oldest shows they play are Full House and Fresh Prince.What do you think older generations said when this happened to them lol.
Same thing happened.
Also see Nick At Night. From I Love Lucy to Welcome Back Kotter.
If Marty traveled back in time today it would be to 1987.
They need more Cure, Smiths
My local oldies station plays Alanis Morrisette. Blew my mind the first time I heard it on there.
You mean "Classic Rock".
Guys, "Oldies" is on the AM dial.
K Earth 101 in LA has been playing 80's for years
It's an oldies station that used to play 50's
Enter Sandman has been on classic rock stations for years.I heard Enter Sandman on the "classic rock" station and I damn near cried.
Homer was in a grunge band in this teenage years.This image is perfect, the Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd posters behind Grandpa Simpson only added to the message. They are bands that Homer listened too when he was a teenager that became classic rock when this episode was put into production back in the '90's.

In an episode that aired in 2008.
Oldies stations have been playing Nirvana around me
Yeah the oldies station here has been playing 80s since the 90s. I can't remember when they started playing 90s but i hear Nirvana and Pearl Jam all the time of the time on the oldies now.Oldies stations have been playing 80's music sine the 90's. Growing up in the 90's Q107 was playing Def Leppard, U2, Guns N Roses and other 80's rock music throughout the 90's.

For years, I had never heard of Grand Funk Railroad outside of the time Homer talked about it.
Switched it over to an oldies station because I was sick of listening about Trump on NPR and they were playing "Girls just wanna have fun"
This is what getting old feels like.
I think we will mostly be using our phone for music then in the far future.As long as cars exist radio will too.
I got Apple Music and it just isn't the same.I'm sure there is a spotify playlist of music from the 00's-10's that you can listen to right now. What a dream come true
Hmm i don't knowRadio will be even more prominent as the world transitions to driverless vehicles.
The problem I see with the transition from Pop to Oldies and Rock to Classic rock is that nobody is filling the void. With the rise of the digital age and the state of music being entirely throwaway trash, we are going to need a miracle to see some truly strong movements in music because all our heroes are dead or dying or still out there doing their thing.
Well yeah, that's because the Simpson's don't age.
Yeah, depends on what you want to consider "oldies". Is it just old music or a genre?People are confused between "Classic Radio" and "Oldies Station" in this thread. They're not the same.
You weren't even born when 39/Smooth smooth came out. You have no idea how that makes me feel.Classic Rock Q107 in Toronto plays Green Day.
I'm 25 and I have no idea how that makes me feel.

ditto.
They play all kinds of 90s music on the classic rock station.
Same.
Nirvana, Cranberries, Alanis Morissette, etc.
