I use to be a big devotee to Top 40 radio when I was a teenager during the 1980s. I use to listen every countdown show there was on the radio, ultimately blessing me with a solid foundation of pop music knowledge.

It impressed the chicks back then, but now people (usually under the age of 20) just laugh at me and call me an old fogie.

Now, I take a look at the Billboard charts and its dominated by artists, mostly hip-hoppers, I never even heard of, or don't want any part of.

All I have so say is "sigh".

no doubt, no doubt.

I remember hearing everything from Madonna to Autograph on my top 40 station, KWES F.M., growing up in Odessa, TX.

Even the music of the 90s, when I am listening to the 90s channel on XM, I hardly ever stay on the channel for very long. I do remember hearing good music in the 90s.....is the station just poorly programmed? Because, I am sure not hearing any of it! I shudder to think what a channel that focused on 2000 and beyond would sound like...
