Yes, but was the Peerless Quartet music still playing on popular radio stations in 1965?
I still hear Beatles music all the time. As well as Rolling Stones and other groups who were popular 50 years ago.
True indeed.
Are you hearing it on popular radio stations or classic rock stations? Are the places you’re hearing Beatles also playing Kanye? We live in a subculture world, things don’t necessarily mix that much. Though I still think most of these folks are leg pulling.
Only on moldy oldie stations that play yesteryear's hits (and they've now scoped away from the songs of the 50s, playing 60-70s-80s).
Rock of today is unlikely to even be heard on radio these days.
And if number of stations for a format indicate popularity then Tejano (on AM and FM) is huge, bigger than either modern rock or classic rock combined.
I thought, "50 years??? That can't be right! A half-century?". I googled it and the Rolling Stones band was formed in 1962! 53 years ago! Holy moly!
