Radio Sucks

One of my coworker plays the radio at work. He alternates between several rock stations. There's no K-Rock anymore, so the current selection of rock stations all vary between a mix of classic rock, new music and alternative. What I don't get is why radio stations that play classic rock play the SAME songs over and over, everyday. The same Nirvana songs everyday. The same Pearl Jam songs everyday. The same AC/DC songs everyday.

I can understand why mainstream stations like Z100 or Hot97 play the same crap . . . it's what's popular and it's what people want to hear. But what I don't get is why these classic rock stations have to play the same songs by the same artists all the time. Nirvana has TONS of good songs. Yet they play the same two songs everyday. Same with Led Zeppelin and every other good band. These bands have TONS of hit songs. Why do they play only a handful of them? I have more variety on my iPod!

  1. that’s why you gotta constantly flip through numerous stations all day to have some variety. use pandora too. you’ll get a some good stuff you’ll never hear on the radio.

  2. yo its the 26th! wheres the post man? getting bored at work

  3. Most radio stations utilize a “low-maintenence” approach to their programming and use only what some lame research tells them…thus you have cookie-cutter radio station that have music, commercials, and nothing else. Even DJs have gone by the wayside. I agree. Radio sucks!
