In a matter of an hour - I hear a song three times on the same radio station! Its mildly terrible..

A major annoyance is when the only song they play all the time from some of my favorite bands is one of the weakest songs they have ever done.

Burning Down the House by Talking Heads and Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes are good examples.

That's why I don't listen to the radio. I don't want someone telling me what I should be listening to. I would however take notice of the mighty JOHN PEEL-the greatest DJ who ever lived. R.I.P

BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel

Maybe you should switch the radio station, theres usually more than one

Maybe you should come to Philly and see what kind of Radiostations we have. mainstream rap, mainstream Country, mainstream and classic rock, Jazz (but no free jazz,) and a bunch of talk show radiostations. Oh and a Christian music radio station.

The Jackson, Tennessee Jazz station is pretty good, they play a little bit of everything.

Australian radio is crap. "Triple j" was a good alternative station in the 90's, but it's gone to sh!t with commercial rap and hip hop. (and if I don't like the "good" stuff, how am I supposed to like the commercial stuff?) Most of the others are poor top 40 stations with the odd "Golden Oldies" station (they also favour the worst of their era, overplaying the likes of abba and Gary Glitter) or the odd classical station.

The radio has always played alot of my crap, at least in my expeirence even during the 90s it did.

every once in a while there is one good station in a city. what is best to do is goto the radio webpage and look at what their schedule is. lots of times later at night or on sunday mornings there is random radio jockeys who play really good stuff. take this for example Ray-Blog » Show Notes
