Me too! I was so sad when COOL 96.9 became "The Eagle".  The SXM 60's on 6 didn't cut it for me.  60s Gold does a better job of only playing the catchiest, most memorable songs.  Both your dad and my dad probably listened to some lower quality stuff back in their day, that the oldies stations have decided to not remember.

I’m sure what they listened to wasn’t as good as the songs we now hear.  It’s like listening to the 90’s or ‘00’s stations.  My wife will put those on and I’ll roll my eyes.  But like the oldies today, they only play Al the songs you’ve heard a million times whether you listened to that style or not, the catchy ones like you said.  For that, I can put up with it. 


I catch grief for this all the time.  But one band I loved in my teenage years was AC/DC.  That love only grew as the years piled on and is still my favorite band to listen to.  I love their story, their attitude and the fact they didn’t really stray in in the style of music they created over so many years. The Bon Scott/Brian Johnson debate… love ‘em both. They both brought Good things to the table.
