All the swing bands!  Anyone catch Ken Burn's series, "Jazz?"  Great bit on the big bands.  They constituted the musical pulse of the nation for about 12 years.  Great music and vocals!!

Wow Mustatine....you really tripped me back to the old Top 40 days in Milwaukee.  I worked at B97 when Madonna & Cindi Lauper were duking it out with their first albums, and we were taking on WKTI...

I got a better offer to do afternoons in the Quad Cities and a couple of years later Hearst flipped 97 to dentist office music.

I haven't heard Beertown radio in a while.

all threads are doomed, it'd just a matter of how. 

some die of obscurity while others get clubbed in the back of the head.

i wonder what the ratio of locked to unlocked threads in the O'club is.

i wouldnt say downhill, but who in 100-200 years will remember music from our time ?
Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or Brahms did something even we today can still enjoy, at least
me ;) and i'am moving this year towards full 40.

I heard the coolest song this year. Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier. By Corb Lund. I tried to transcribe the lyrics with wiki links. It's a pretty cool little history lesson, worthy of Jonny Horton, or Phil Ochs. Really, it's not all crap out there.

B97?? don't know your age but do you remember:

(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z125/JB73Mustaine/97wlpx.jpg)

and:

(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z125/JB73Mustaine/qfm001.jpg)


??

i was listening live when QFM played "God Gave Rock and Roll" then the next song no warning went smooth jazz!! I called Marilyn Mee on Lazer on my cell and she was literally pooping bricks :rofl

You mention B97, then "light 97", they became "The Brew"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WQBW
http://www.973thebrew.com/main.html

and threw a huge monkey wrench into Lazer, and KLH's programming... I was invited to be a part of the focus group for the former "Lazer 103". I begged and pleaded them to play less "Ozzy", in fact my words were directly to the programming director "please dear Lord never play ozzy again"

yet they became the ozzy poster station:

:cry

Bob and Brian still are the best morning show in the world, finally syndicated across all WI, they always win, beating the snot out of Dave and Carol, oh BTW Riteman and Miller QUIT!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WKTI-FM

but in all that 102.1 has remained the station of my life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WLUM

back when I was a wigger it was the schizznit, then when I discovered real music it was there again for me, now it is a bit more for youth, but still the best station in Milwaukee :aok :D

When my kids went off to college they took my Doors, CSNY, Aerosmith, Beatles, Tom Petty, etc Cds. Everytime I go to play a song it's gone. My son's car got broken into and they took 14 of my best CDs, One was CSNY Deja Vu. My brother says that his kids love his music better than that of their generation.

You've got great taste for being such a youngster. :aok

Have no Der Binger, but lots of great vocal music in the library.  Love America's music from the depression through the golden years.

Think I ditched all my "modern" stuff during the last move.  Some great work, but TONS of pap.

"Down hill since Mozart," lololol.  Mahler and Co pretty cool.  Copland way good.  Check out Julie London's "You'd Be Nice to Come Home To" on the Ultra Lounge series album, "Wild Cool and Swinging."

She gets me at "hello."

Must...that's a REALLY cool flashback.

97 was the sister station of WISN-AM, and Channel 12.  They were all Hearst (the newspaper magnate & Patty Hearst's dad) stations at the time.

I wanted to work for WLPX when it was rock and applied many times.  They flipped it to Top 40 and changed the call sign to WBTT-FM.  When their evening guy left to go do afternoons at "The Apple" in Indianapolis, I got the call from Program Director B.J. Harris (also morning man) to do overnights. 

Wierd, because overnights didn't start until 2 AM...I did evenings at WXLC-FM Waukegan/Chicago until midnight, then drove to Milwaukee and did 2 AM to 6 AM on B97.  Long days, but it was fun working in Milwaukee.

Later I did mornings on WAUK-AM.  I wasn't big on doing Country back then...just biding my time.

I worked with Marilyn Mee, Steve Brill, and a number of good folks back then.

Nazareth, Sweet, Molly Hatchet, Janis Joplin. Johnny Cash, Red Sovine (Daddy's Girl), Jerry Reed, Johnny Paycheck, Eddie Rabbit, Dr. Hook, Donovan. The list goes on and on. If you do a search on You tube for Red Sovine and look for the Daddys Girl song it will bring a tear to your eye if you have a daughter or are a daughter. :aok I believe the one i watched was a tribute from a daughter to her father.

"you don't have to be old to enjoy old music"

nor young to enjoy new music.


With the majority of radio stations in America owned by 2 companies it's hard to hear anything but what they want you to.  And apparently they want us to listen to crap.

Post by: Holden McGroin on April 18, 2008, 04:08:07 PM
The reason the old stuff tends to be better is that only the good stuff remains after filtered by time. 

90% of the old stuff sucked too, but the stuff that sucked was lost in the dusty boxes in the garage, and probably thrown out.

New stuff is unfiltered and you get the 90% bad along with the good.

For every Mozart, there were 9 Salieri's whose music are no longer performed.
