are there any good oldies stations anymore?
 
when i was a kid oldies meant 50s and 60s music. now u can't hear any 50s or early 60s music anymore and 70s crap like elton john and billy joel (which belongs on a soft rock station) is getting played instead. plus fleetwood mac and other classic rock staples. hell my local oldies station has even started playing 80s music. ugh.
whatever happened to real oldies music? i guess it's dead

do as oojay says or you could you know get a satellite radio and i'm pretty sure they have more authentic oldies stations on there.

There used to be station called 97.3 KBSG (which I always liked to say because it was fun when they extended the numbers and "g") but sadly that's not on anymore. My mom and my aunt loved that station..

As for you, I don't have a solution to help you listen in the car but online there's some stations. radio-stations.fm came up, not many to select from either...

It's pretty lame that music from the 50s and 60s aren't playing on local stations anymore.

There are a lot of 'oldies' stations as you put it still around on the radio.

We had a really good oldies station up until last year. Then it turned into this:

B97.1

Used to be I'd turn it on and hear Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, The Ronettes, and that sort of thing. Now, it's like Springsteen, Billy Joel, some 80s, and I even heard ****ing Nirvana on there once.
