what do you think the best artists/bands or songs are on the radio right now? i find it really nice to hear talib kweli's "get by" on hip-hop stations since it has intelligent lyrics, a positive message, and intricate, soulful production.. system of a down songs are good to hear on the radio but i wouldn't buy an album. audioslave's "like a stone" is a bit middle of the road but i enjoy it. chris cornell has the definitive voice of alternative rock. 50 cent's songs are mindless but good. eh i'll think of more later.. |

ok let's not be snobby.. i don't listen to it either except when i'm in the car, as my tape deck is broken and i don't have a cd player. i'm sure you have a rough idea what's played on the radio.. |

i don't listen to the radio either, don't see the point in listening to someones elses idea of what my musical tastes should be. |

The radio is wasteland littered with soulless,plastic non-biodegradeable crap that pollutes my precious ears and nearly makes me ill. |

i didn't ask for your miserable opinion on radio, believe me you don't want to get me started on how much radio sucks. the topic is about what you think is the best thing being played "for the masses," you fucking snobs. |
||||||||
|
|

lol, come on man, the only thing I can stomach is campus radio. They play the crazziest shit :D honestly though, listening to the radio is like having an endless infomercial pounded into your skull relentlessly, radio sucks. |

honestly i haven't listened to the radio in over 2 years so i really dont know whats being played. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
and don't get mad at me, I already listed my songs! |
||||||||
|
|

|

Erm, I hardly think it is being snobbish by just saying that I can't name a track because I never listen to the radio. I think the same goes for the others who responded. |
||||||||
|

I'm not a snob i just don't like radio. Is that alright? |

lol, me thinks tits didn't see this thread going to all fuck off so quickly teeheehee |

i'd imagine radiohead is being played on the radio somewhere, so that probably |

queens of the stone age redeem radio I like it when I hear there there system of a down seems to be prevalent here in the salty city system is good and their antiwar message makes me happy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but I don't listen to the radio either except npr and that's... the REST of the story |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, QOTSA are great.. i love the rado single "go with the flow". fun to sing. i also really like sean paul, all the songs i've heard from him so far. he has a great voice and it's nice to hear dancehall catching on. chevelle have a couple new songs that are pretty good. even that overplayed evanescence song is technically fantastic as far as i'm concerned. the new RHCP single is good, if a bit formulaic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listen mostly to the Univ. of MD station but the range isn't too far. i put on NPR for classical and talk, but otherwise i've been switching between hip-hop, classic rock, and alternative rock stations, as soon as a bad song comes on. i'll also put on a public jazz station (WPFW) but they play a lot of crap. same with the oldies station. college radio is my fav but again the range is only so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you call that rhcp song formlaic but not the ones by sean paul, chevelle and eveanescence? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RHCP are better musicians than chevelle and evanescence, who are relatively new bands, too. the sean paul songs i've heard haven't been formulaic. it's a style of music and he has a distinct voice; that's not the same thing as the songs sounding the same. are you trying to start shit with me? just answer the question i asked earlier, drop the pretense like you don't like a single song played on any radio format. |

The Dandy Warhols - We Used to Be Friends that song is so hypnootic "a long time ago....we used to be friends...a long time ago....we used to be friends..." if you dont know it or havent head it i sujest you do a slsk or kazaa search now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't heard any new dandy's songs yet.. i saw "godless" and "get off" on mtv2 before but i never heard any singles from the last album on the radio actually. oh yea more good radio stuff: nas! "i can't" is a little cheesy but the kids need that message and maybe nas will turn some people onto beethoven. the clipse rock. "cot damn" indeed. |

i answered earlier. i'm not trying to start anything. i just disagree with you. in my opinion, i hear a band like evanescence and instantly think linkin park + female vocals. i find that formulaic. my friend actually thought that the song was linkin park with a guest singer after hearing the song dozens of times on the radio at work, and he wouldn't believe me when i told him it wasn't. chevelle isn't bad, but i find their sound and songs very similar to the other current popular bands. you can look at a band as being formulaic in the way that all their songs might sound the same, or the term could be used to describe their sound when their sound is basically a mixture of a few bands. you might consider rhcp or their current single formulaic, but i happen to think that they have an original sound and each of their songs are different sounding for the most part. they may have a certain style and way of writing songs, but i wouldn't their stuff formulaic. this is all just my opinion, so just relax, it's okay to disagree. |

you are a complete and utter twit! you don't even know what you're "disageeing" with. just because i asked the question doesn't mean i think the radio is awesome. i'm just curious what people enjoy the most out of what most people are actually listening to in their cars or wherever. maybe you haven't read any of my posts before but i'm hardly a chevelle or evanescence fan, i just think these songs are pretty damn palatable should they come on the radio. that evanesence song is interesting cos there haven't been strong female vocals on a hit alternative rock song in years. i can hear the linkin park influence in the guy's singing (i too thought it was related to linkin park), sure, but it's a bit lazy to call it a linkin park style song and that's all there is to it. chevelle is pretty formulaic too but again there is definitely some talent in it even if it's not adventurously creative. if you know RHCP so well you should realize they're repeating themselves now, no matter how great the songs are. i really enjoy them, i just know they can do better. now are you going to answer the question for real or just be a dick about how cool you are for not listening to the radio? |

i said i like radiohead, and they play that on the radio. i don't really know of too many other bands that i like that i've heard on the radio. i don't see why you should try to turn a statement of opinions into a fucking name calling match. i'm not going to sink to that level. i personally like rhcp and don't think they are repeating themselves. it's my opinion that's all. take it for what it's worth. i disagreed with you. accept it. you know tits, you're really good at making enemies.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok the names are out of line but you've already sunk to a low level by turning an innocent question into an opportunity to be holier than thou about your musical taste... you could've preached in another topic and i'd have been glad to agree with what you have to say since we actually feel the same way on radio. but that wasn't what this topic was for. enemies schmenemies.. i'm for a bullshit-free society, so i have to call people out on it.. insert kirkle's retort. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i call lashing out on other people for having different tastes bullshit. i call equating other's opinions with preaching bullshit. why don't you practice what you preach? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why don't you (insert typical titsworth insult here) if anyone wants to answer the question i asked in the first message, feel free. i asked a legitimate question that would hypothetically get some varied responses if people took it seriously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ummm...this probably doesn't answer your question, but at the college radio here they used to have a program that would occasionally play some vsnares, but the people running it decided to end it i think :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they play a lot of idm, experimental music (of all kinds), and lo-fi on the college radio station i mentioned.. college stations are great, i love my radio show @ dickinson. but you're right, i was asking about commercial radio.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll answer your original question more thoroughly. radiohead red hot chili pepers deftones tool ratm i'd think that these are played on rock stations. i also like a lot of older music that is probably played on oldies stations sometimes. |

I dunno, whenever I'm forced to listen to the radio (not that there's anything wrong with that!), I listen to gay artsy fartsy interview shows that have lots of jazzy interludes. I never leave home without a mixed tape or three though. |
||||||||

Only thing I like on radio is classical and jazz. Student radio is too unreliable - maybe something good, or maybe a 3 hour recording of someone reading a phone book while getting ass surgery. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite radio show is Other Voices on our "community run listener sponsored" radio station...it's classical music by women composers...not stuff you hear too often. |

i kinda have to listen to radio. people at work always listen to it....and i'm there. the best things on the radio right now that i dont mind listening to are: the new beyonce knowles track. i think its catchy as fuck. the marylin manson tune is ok. the white stripes, too. oh, and radioheads new single. other than at work, i sometimes like to catch John Peel's radio show. Its shit hot. He's been supporting Skam and Warp like it for years. Hence "Peel Sessions". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Here are some i kinda like Beyoncé & Jay-z "Crazy In Love" Sean Paul "Get Busy" Cardigans "You're The Storm" Ital Skurk "Knäckt En Gång Till" Bad Cash Quartet "Dirty Days" Sounds "Rock 'n' Roll" The Donnas "Who Invited You" Fireside "All You Had" White Stripes "7 Nation Army" R Kelly "Ignition (Remix)" Mirwais & Craig Wedren "Miss You" Jarabe De Palo "Bonito" The Knife "Girls' Night Out" |
||||||||
|
|

best thing on the radio is the program "fresh Air" on NPR |
||||||||
|

i heard the new white stripes song ("7 nation army") and i absolutely hated it! they seem 95% hype, 4% talent, 1% creativity to me, but that's just my stinkin' opinion. i like destiny's child (come on, you can't fuck with their melodies or harmonies, they're like a blinged out Jazzyfatnastees) but i haven't heard the new beyonce track yet. i never heard any kelly rowland solo tracks either, just that song w/ nelly where she sings some old soft rock song as the chorus. haven't heard "there, there" on the radio yet. heard "mOBSCENE" and thought it was yet another boring manson track... he's been on a losing streak since 1996! trent needs to find some pity and produce him again. |
||||||||

The new beyonce track is actualy a version of an old obscure funk track (cant remember the name) They have this section on swedish radio called "who was first?" where they play two versions of a track after eachother. Its kinda depressing , 90% of the hits are old shit. I mean i knew this alredy but it s depressing to get it confirmed like that haha! |

At work i am forced to listen to the radio. All day long it's shania twain, that godawful "chiwuahua" (sp?) song, boring eurotechno, "do" with "heaven" etc etc... it's torture :-p Today i only heard two nice songs: daft punk - one more time (always gets me in a good mood) coldplay - clocks (their best single in a long time). Universally Speaking is my least favourite song on the By The Way-album... strange they released it as a single. |

live 105 in the bay area has actually had a pretty decent plalist lately. They've really cut back on the rap/rock crap. It's clear channel so I don't know if this is a nation wide trend (i was under the impression that all genre clear channel stations played the same thing) or if they're given more freedom over what they play. maybe a test market or something. Before they were bought out though... it really was something. In 94 and 95 adorable had the most requested song of the year. You'd played b-sides from brit-pop acts on a regular basis. Even bands like Pavement were on heavy rotation, live sets every friday from different bands. Not bad for a mid to large market rock station. Ahhh how I miss the pre-clear channel days. |
