Guest LGT-NY Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 104.3 is good, but there is no good current rock stations. 96.9 WRRV is ok I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxx Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 92.3 was getting ridiculous. I couldn't listen to the same "alt-rock" songs anymore. They had the same song rotation for like 10 years 104.3, meh, I love classic rock but not f-ing ELO & stuff like that. Too much Springsteen & the pretenders & stuff on there. Also, you'd think the only Hendrix songs ever were foxy lady & all along the watchtower. Same as the only zeppelin they ever played was stairway to heaven, ramble on, or misty mountain hop. Again, same stupid song rotation forever. I used to have sirius when I used to drive to work. I gave it up. It was pretty uninteresting. Now I'm hardly ever in the car & when I am I listen to whatever CDs I have in there or Jazz 88.3 "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama! I'm the president...of hittin' the ass!" -this is not a political view it's merely a quote from a hilarious tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxx Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 but there is no good current rock stations. there hasn't been in a long long time. k-rock was a "current" rock station in like 1997-98 :lol: You gotta catch like college stations to get newer music. Anyone remember when 92.3 was a classic rock station? How about Hot 103.5? No Hot 97.1, that was the country station Then they switched places. Then they made country 103 into goomba 103 :lol: "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama! I'm the president...of hittin' the ass!" -this is not a political view it's merely a quote from a hilarious tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 89.5 FM is pretty good, if you can pick up the signal coming from Seton Hall. Lately, they tend to broadcast a lot of sports games in the evening, on Sundays - it's church and cultural music. Monday though Saturday, it's heavy metal. Link (to listen online): http://www.wsou.net/ This week on 89.5: Loud Rock Chart 1. Lamb of God 2. Mastodon 3. Saxon 4. Thursday 5. Sepultura 6. EdGuy 7. G-Forbid 8. Rumplestilskin Grinder 9.

ScoopMan Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 WHAT?!?!? Bitch, are you retarded? It is overplayed so much, it is worn out. Coxx's point on the rotation of the same 3 Hendrix or Zep songs over and over is correct. And any station that plays 'Fly Like an Eagle' or 'Hotel California' even ONCE will lose me forever. College stations are often the best, and locally we have listener supported WPKN that plays some pretty offbeat stuff. I gotta admit, I leave the same cd's in the player WAY too long. Maybe I should give radio another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should give radio another chance. 104.3 plays the same 20-30 classic rock songs over and over. I feel like they play some songs at least once an hour. Radio sucks. I let my Sirius subscription end, and now I am regretting it. I will be turning it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxx Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 And any station that plays 'Fly Like an Eagle' or 'Hotel California' even ONCE will lose me forever. . that's exactly what I mean. Too much eagles, steve miller, emerson lake & palmer, reo speedwagon. Not enough . I feel like they play some songs at least once an hour. . they do. We used to leave it on at work during the day & it was common to hear the same song 3-4 times during the day "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!

ScoopMan Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I just listen to 'Quadrophenia' and 'Exile on Mainstreet' endlessly in my cd player instead of classic rock radio Should start a thread 'what do you have in your cd player' maybe, unless someone already did.

Guest JessterCPA Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I rarely listen to the radio anymore. Either I am playing songs off the IPod or Podcasts. What does 96.9 play?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeislord Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 K Rock had a decent playlist. They played far too much ACDC IMO but you could still hear RHCP and Nirvana, shit like that. My commute to work was O & A with CDs for commercials and on my way home K Rock and CDs for commercials/bad music. Now it's all CDs. I need to burn a new 20 or so.

There was almost never anything new in the rotation & once there was they'd play it out hard "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!

dtmenace Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 101.9 is the k-rock replacement. it's not bad but you will still have to get through some springsteen to hear the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Rock newer than let's say 2002 is a bunch of dudes with black makeup and girl's haircuts whining about their sadness. I say no thanks to that anyway.
