The oldies radio station that I loved to listen to oldies on, used to be called "KONO 101 - Good Time Oldies", now they're "KONO 101 - The Greatest Hits of the 60's and 70's". I don't think they even refer to themselves as an "oldies" station anymore. It seems that they don't play any 50's/early 60's music as they did up until 2000 - Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, doo w*p music, etc. Is this a trend around the "oldies" radio stations in the U.S.? It seems that the "real oldies", music from 1955-1963, are dying out on the radio. I only hear 1964 and up now, I think they play up to 1975 or so. With the 70's being the worst decade for music, it's pretty lame to hear that stuff rather than that good time rock 'n roll.
