GREAT BIG RADIO features constant kick-ass rock & roll, production that’s better than any terrestrial or satellite station, and has a sense of humor. It’s what the Jack format wishes it could be.
RICHBRORADIO.COM is flat out the best oldies station on the planet. Mostly 60s but choice 50s and 70s tunes too. And a very deep playlist. You’ll hear stuff you haven’t heard in years. Also, Rich has some great music features, and vintage jingles.
To vote, just go here.
Thanks.
Richbro and I accidentally voted for the All Keyboard Cat channel, so Ken's readers will have to come to our aid on this one.
ReplyDeleteI recommended GBR to a friend a couple of months ago. She tuned in, got about three disco songs in a row and promptly turned it off, wondering what the heck I was trying to pull.
ReplyDeleteJust the way it goes sometimes.
Yeeps. That's a RARity. The playlist sometimes gets hijacked by the software and I battle with it over musical tastes constantly. Thanks for recommending. Hope she'll try it again.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, also recommend RichBro Radio.
I found RichBro through Ken's recommendation in the past. Listen to it at least once a week. Divide my work listening time between it, Live365, and npr. Rich has a great station. Even plays D W Washburn every now and then.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they're both great stations, but I prefer my oldies really old. I strongly recommend Radio Dismuke, home of great pop and jazz music of the 1920s-mid-'30s:

That poor girl pictured on the Great Big Radio banner seems to be having trouble keeping her too-small clothes from slipping off. Is she really in the demographic that listens to oldies?
ReplyDeleteOh, I have been trying to get her to give it another chance. I was quite surprised because I know that's not normal (and I certainly hope I didn't give that impression here). I keep showing her when I have it up on my computer: "Look, Springsteen! You like him!"
ReplyDeleteBut you know how it is: every time you recommend a TV show to someone, they will inevitably tune in for the single worst episode of the season.
Ah well... you got my vote!
Obviously, you've never sampled 147KXOA.com, Ken, or you'd have THREE favorite Internet stations...KXOA has ALSO been nominated as Oldies Internet station of the year..http://147kxoa.com
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of GBR. Lot's of "oh, wow" songs. But the best thing about it is the imaging. The Best!
ReplyDeleteBob Oscar Johnson definitely gets my vote for best publicity caricature EVER.
ReplyDeletethanks for the richbro tip!
ReplyDeleteThanks to DW Washburn (sounds like a song, no?) for mentioning Live365, which where my show is, on Rockin' Radio (The Electro-Phonic Sound of Brian Phillips). We play the best oldies you've never heard or ones that you haven't heard for a while.
ReplyDeleteLink is in my .sig.
I'll listen to RBR and GBR and vote.
Or we could all just move to Britain -- seems like The Trashmen's Surfin' Bird is #3 in their charts. They send The Beatles, we send them this.
