Radio here in the Netherlands is awful, probably for the same reasons it is everywhere else, but there's less channels and like ****in' none exist that are permanent talk radio, If I want to hear random folks talking I need to switch constantly and it's usually like 2 channels who do it top. It kind of baffles me the radio is practicallly only used for music these days despite all the possibilties, yet they do a ****ty job of that one thing.
All they do is play current popular pop singles, and then play some old popular pop sigles, and they play the same songs waaaaay too much. They can't EVER play another song off the album an artist, nope, has to be that single made for the radio. And how DARE you put an"obscure"(And by that I mean has never been mainstream so it might be popular as ****) artist on the radio! All I want is some stations who actually play what the **** they like and don't give a **** about wether someting's a single or popular. I've heard that once on this metal/punk segement that's an hour a week on one of the radiostations. I heard some random Death Metal, and A Wilhelm Scream. That was it, the rest was normal single radio. Everynight I turn on the radio as background noise so I won't feel afraid alone, but man the songs get annoying very quickly, I should start using internet radio instead. |

If you lived in America you'd be very tired of talk radio. There's only so many times you can listen to Rush Limbaugh before losing faith in humanity.

Cliff Richard is a good example. In the US, he's thought of as a "two-hit wonder"--the two hits being "Devil Woman" and "We Don't Talk Anymore". Another good example is Robbie Williams. A lot of people in the US basically don't know him at all. Quote:
Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Grand Funk, Bad Company, Allman Brothers Band, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper and many others in those veins were also huge in the US during the 70s (and beyond). And for whatever reasons, a lot of people overlook Zeppelin's prog, folk/country and funk influences, which were all significant. In that vein, artists like Jethro Tull, Queen, Grateful Dead were huge in the US in the 70s, too (and beyond). |

But stations realized that running syndicated programming (like Rush Limbaugh) was a lot cheaper than paying a slate of local hosts, unfortunately, and that it would do just as well in the ratings, so most local hosts got the boot. There are probably more local sports-talk hosts now instead. I worked in talk radio for a bit about 25 years ago--I co-hosted a local morning drive show while I was back in graduate school (and I was still gigging as a musician, too). We also had a "sister" music station in the same building--their DJ booth was right on the other side of our talk studio, actually, with a window between them so we could see each other while we were doing our shows. So that gave me a bit more insight into music radio, too. I did talk radio in the South Florida market (Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm Beach), and at that time there were four major AM stations in that market, stations with signals powerful enough to reach pretty much the whole area (100 or so miles wide), that had a full slate of local talk hosts. If any of them have any local hosts now, it would only be a couple in between syndicated programming. That sucks because talk radio was much more interesting when there was a wide variety of different voices/opinions. Last edited by Terrapin_Station; 08-19-2016 at 07:56 AM. |

I don't even care much for Green Day, actually. I just think it's Punk. |
