I'm a huge fan of Accuradio! XM FAN won't let me post the link, but hey, just add a dot com to the name.

Forgot all about this one:

http://www.pandora.com/

You basically create your own radio station by selecting artists you like. You then get a station consisting of songs by those artists and other artists. You can then fine tune by selecting whether you like or dislike songs as they are played.

http://www.jango.com it's the same as pandora.

Again, another great site that slipped my little brain;

AOL.

Not only they have their own stations but provide links to other stations throughout the US.

Another neat site is SKY.fm

Here’s another nice 80’s channel:

http://lost80s.com/index.php

Still a sure bet that this is better than the current 80’s on 8. Plays it all plus “current: songs of 80’s artists.

Enjoy.

For you 70’s fans, like myself, there is:

105.7 WROR
http://www.wrornothinbutthe70s.com/

Their home page states:

WROR is harnessing the power of HD Radio, providing you the highest fidelity ever available and even more choices. "Nothin' But The 70's is a celebration of the music and pop culture of the 1970's. Whether it's Rock, Soul, Disco, Top 40 Hits, or B-sides, if it was made in the 70's, you'll hear it here. Featuring a lot of songs you haven't heard in a long time, it will bring back memories. And, of course, it's free.

I have to vote for "AccuRadio Wide Playlist" substations on the oldies group.

Good thing about this Web station is....

if I hear one of those Sickius on Sicks overplayed tunes, I can skip it with a fast forward button.

I listen to Country Heritage on AccuRadio. It is mighty repetitious, but you will often hear tracks from this incredible collection: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005EQQE/accuradio/

Hi,

Does anyone know of a internet radio station the plays both MOR along with Rock and Roll from the 1950s through the early 1960s? The stations that I have come across covering this period either fall into one of the two categories: Pop music or Rock and Roll.
