Rather than practice for that concert tonight, I'd like to talk about radio songs that you would rather jam a fork into your ear than hear ever again? They might be good songs, but the radio industry completely destroyed them. List them here!

The Wall - Pink Floyd
Communication Breakdown - Led Zeppelin
Most radio beatles
Most Bruce Springstein
Edit: added Another one Bites the Dust - Queen

Oh come on man, anything but the Eagles, I hate the fuckin' Eagles man.
You don't like it then get the fuck out of my cab!

I nominate Hotel California.

Stairway to Heaven
Satisfaction
Anything by Cold Chisel
Anything by Queen
most 1980's Australian pub rock
Back In Black - AC/DC

I fully support outlawing the following music from the airwaves:

Anything by Led Zeppelin
Anything by the Rolling Stones
Anything by Rush
Anything by Pearl Jam

Yeah all the Modern Rock stations still play early 90s grunge in heavy rotation.

"Here's another one from Nirvana you've heard 1000 times in your life"

Yeah, but its the freshest music going around today!

People who listen to commercial radio stations hate music.

>>People who listen to commercial radio stations hate music.<<

Isn't that the truth.

I second all pearl jam and all nirvana

and you're right about commercial radio and music. I just listen when Im in the car to pass the time and usually just throw on News radio or the classical station

Dire Straits   ( Funny thing, I want my MTV is the only song that the commercial stations play uncensored, the word "fagot" is there for all to here, no matter what time of day it is. Green Day, gets censored, any of those songs with the word "gun" or "ass" gets censored. ~shrug.)

Mental as Anything,  pisses me off the most.

I've been thinking, we must be getting close to a point where they'll need to spin up a new radio station, to allow the 90s/00s to branch off and stagnate.

freebird.

actually, anything by skynard.

A few months ago I would have agreed with you on Skynyrd, but then I found out that all these dirt ass old songs I liked were Skynyrd.

You can add Dragon, Mondo Rock, Australian Crawl, Noiseworks to that list too.

I cant listen to anything other than RRR or PBS these days. JJJ annoys the hell out of me, since Kingsmill decided that JJJ should be more like MMM in format.

Ohio music.

Meaning any music I heard on the radio or that was played by patrons of the bar I worked at when I lived Ohio.


I would often play The Pogues or Nick Cave's Scum back at them.

I'm a rather odd musician ...
I'll JAM anything, however, I rarely listen to music as a "recreation" ....
(because I spend a lot of time learning/practicing, etc tons of songs for my shows)

I think that was part of the underlying point, or at least where this would have gone if this were a "musician's" thread ....

... I rarely listen to music as a "recreation" ....

Same. There's so much beauty in silence. Like right now, i'm sitting in silence. Beautiful.

I suppose this is a musician's thread since a musician started it - but it didn't stay that way as the average poster here has a real job unlike us.

I have a constant feed of music going into my ears if I'm not watching a video or TV or something.

...and Zoomie.
Don't leave him out of things.

Yeah, Skynyrd's best stuff is definitely not their more well-known shit.

the only radio i ever listen to is power 106's cali caliente weekend so they keep it pretty fresh

The Scotish guy with the beard, the comedian. He does a good graveyard show on sat night (jjj) Its the only one i listen to.
I myself vol at ZZZ.

I listen to Stern and other talk radio, mostly ...

Dave Callan is Irish.

I prefer the midget Headley Gritter on RRR for a Saturday overnight experience. There used to be a Yank on there as well, the Brain. His show was awesome.
 

o okay, never noticed.

I listen to Stern and other talk radio, mostly ...

I miss Stern and it's ALMOST enough to get me to renew my subscription to Sirius.  If they had an Internet radio only option for something like $5-6 a month, I would do it.

See I hate commercial radio. I had Sirius for 3 years and had to give it up recently. I have my iPod but sometimes I don't want to listen to music. So it's NPR and my iPod, which is an ecclectic mix of Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Costello and one hit wonders from the 60, 70s and 80s. Yes, that means Robert John, Aha and The Screaming Trees.

Dude, surely you can stream on your PC...

There's gotta be something out there worth listening to.

I don't even listen to NPR anymore, since all of the shows I like are available as free podcasts.
