One reason:

I'm not sure how this relates to the oldies though. Just heard about it on MTV the other day.

I would request that one song...

Hmmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm

You know what I'm talking about?

They don't play those songs on the radio anymore because people have stopped paying payola on them.

Radio is crooked and Evil. It is sucks.

Who needs ideas when the money's good?

Clear Channel owns 1277 radio stations (Roughly 80% of radio stations nationwide) and 37 TV stations. They make a bundle getting paid to play Eminem, then charging for the advertising between Eminem and Britteney.

Wanna see how evil CC is? Look at one of their newest creations. Http://quick96.com where they play 496 songs and hour. How do they do it? By only playing about seven seconds of the song.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

"Dont Let This Feeling End" theme from "Ice Castles"

"Three Coins In the Fountain"

"Twelfth of Never"

 

[GuyJD]

"HOLD ME"- Teddy Pendergrass & Whitney Houston

"JUST THE WAY YOU ARE"- Barry White

"STAY THE NIGHT"- Chicago

Basically, they never play anything by The Whispers, The O'Jays, The Spinners, etc. I listen to one radio station that's supposed to play Classic and new R & B but they are playing more of the new crap than anything. I have to change the damn station often, due to an overdose of Usher's music.

Get It On by Chase
Heartbeat;It's A Lovebeat by The DeFranco Family

Ok, your first 2 are on a list of songs I NEVER want to hear again.

Not that they aren't great songs, but one makes me cry, and WHY does EVERY song about Laura involve someone dying????

Wouldn't it be nice - Nick Kershaw

Happy - Sister Hazel

 

[DustyWolfe]

"I Kissed A Girl" by Jill Sobule

 

[teddybear4play]

I haven't heard a single song by R. Kelly since the video of him with a 14-year old girl came out.

I rarely hear "History Of Rock & Roll Part One" by Gary Glitter anymore, either, for the same reason.

Ben iz when when Michael Jackson was the Geatest singer of all time...I have a Theory that he sold his soul to the Devil...The things he sang as a kid are from when he would be an adult, and visa versa...an inverted soul

Music does suck now

I'd rather pick three videos that have Music that i like...that might be even harder

Hmmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm

You know what I'm talking about?

Would you happen to be talking about that song by the Crash Test Dummies:

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was a kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed him so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw bithmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both the girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse that that

'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn'r quite explain
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
