WGON great Idea!!
Todays Raido Stations suck
Is it just me, or does todays Radio suck?
When I was a teenager FM was cool, it had laid back D,jays and they played cool new music. That's were I first heard Alex Harvey, Hawkwind,Atomic Rooster,Zappa,The amboy dukes,
Robin Trower,Roxy music,BOC,Captain Beyond,Audience,
Bowie,Steely Dan,etc.
The AM of that day used to be Hit Radio, and played the top hits of the day.
FM today has become Hit radio, with a lot of cookie cutter stations all playing the same old hits, with a few of those old fm classic hits as well.
Does it only bug me, that they only play the one hit off the LP over and over again. When in fact the lp had even better tunes on it, but they never play them.
Recently with the advent of eBay, I have been able to collect a lot of rare and Great music that I never new existed before.
When my friends here the new tunes I have They get the same Idea that I always get, to start a new radio station that plays this unknown treasure. As well as the songs like "Candys gone bad" off of the Golden Earring lp with Radar love on it, you know the one.
You know what I'm talking about, am I alone here.
I must state that I live in a smaller town now, but we can still pick up the Jacksonville Florida stations.
Does this kind of practice go on all over the country?
The new music of today no longer interests me with Rap and the Rock of today all sounds the same, with only minor exceptions like Radiohead.
WHAT do you think, is their some stations that I could pickup on the internet that would satisfy my craving?
would you like to be able to get in you car and tune the radio to a station like the one I described?
