My God, and I thought only Chicago radio was bad. |

I surprised the Stones finished that high...with all the beatle lovers and Aerosmith lovers we have on a Stones site, it's no wonder... |

Apalling, but hardly surprising. The people they asked probably just blurted out the names of the last six or so bands they heard songs by on the radio (and you KNOW how bad radio sucks), and then the three or four bands they liked in college, or high school, or junior high, or wherever, meaning the bands that they think were the favorites of the supposedly cool people that the half-witted people taking the survey wanted to be the most like. And, being in Kansas City makes it a little worse, but not a whole hell of a lot worse, than it'd be anywhere. So, it ain't rock n' roll, and I don't like it. |

it pains me to see an inferior band like aerosmith ahead of the stones, but ZZ top at #8 says it all really. and look at all those cheesy acts ahead of creedence. just laughable |

Good god, how stupid can a list get. I mean, REO Speedwagon? Rock? The two words don't go together. Even the guys in the dumbass band would think this list is ridiculous. Journey, Foreigner, Kansas, Yes, Genesis, Rush, Boston? That's classic schlock. Don't people realize that this crap was laid to rest by punk and REAL rock bands like the Clash. Why public appeal always tends toward the catchy, bland, soulless, inoffensive, unoriginal, uninspiring, gimmicky, annoying and forumlatic is beyond me. Damn the radio!!! Damn the media!!! The whole list is a sham really. Aerosmith #1? Why, because they sell more records, have tons of gullible fans, came back from drugged-out nothingness and keep releasing cheap-ass records that imitate current rock acts in an attempt to pretend they're young when they're ALL over 50. But the Stones are an emberassment, you see. They've never come back from the brink (but the 80s was close), they haven't made any commercial comebacks and their songs don't sell millions. They just suck, right? Why is public opinion like that? Let's get some facts straight. Those guys were weak-ass dope fiends while at least Keith was the only with the Stones with a drug addiction (Brian maybe before he died, which no Aerosmith member has had happen may I point out) but he remained true ever since and during his addictions. Joey Kramer can't tune Charlie's drums, Tom Hamilton can't adjust Bill's toupee, Brad Whitford ain't no rhythmic genuis either-he can't stay sober drinking Keith's vodka and sunkist, Joe Perry wishes he was Keith but he really can't fit into Keith's skull rings and Steven Tyler thinks he's Mick with all the big lips and sexual stage moves but he really can't bear the presence of Mick at all. End of story! |

Why would anyone get all worked up over what some cowboy, commercial radio station plays, lists, or thinks?...They obviously didn't ask anyone under 35 who they would nominate either....Whether it's The States, Europe, or Australia, radio sucks!...Oh! JB's right! All of us who like,(and I stress LIKE), Aerosmith and The Beatles should be removed from the board- sharpish! I mean, we're so disloyal. |

As I read through the list my stomach turned.
To see "The Rolling Stones" appear among such filth was upsetting to say the least. Bob Segar? Sid I see STYX on there? Have mercy, Lord.

Looks like a list that might eminate from VH1, in fact this piece of shit reminds me of a program i was watching a few nights back on ch.4 of the 10 greatest stadium rock bands, guess who was no.1...yep you have guessed it Aeroshit!, supported by "great" bands like Poison, Bon Jovi - Christmas Star Wars album anybody!!!! - Motley Crew etc, no Stones in sight.
What is happnin folks?????!!!!!!!!

I've gotta agree with gypsymofo. Commercial radio has always sucked, and it's even starting to seep down into the "Classic Rock" stations, who generally are retreating further into the 50s or plunging headlong into the deathtrap that is the 80s, leaving the good stuff in the 70s (and there was a lot of bad stuff that's remained for the most part thankfully buried) and the mid-to-late-post-British-Invasion-fallout 60s stuff all behind.
I heard someone say somewhere that "Stuck Inside A Cloud" (Harrison's latest) and "Don't Stop" would have been vying (sp?) for the top spot as late as even ten years ago, but now both in the US have been covered in this pop trash.
Makes ya sick, doesn't it? Good music not being popular?
How did we get here?

It is indeed a sad phenomenon that real, pure and music have been enveloped in this cess pit of made in Tawian manufactured shite. I can't put on the TV here, without seeing that cunt Will Young who won pop idol here pussying around and ruining the songs he is covering to the adoration of thousands. Radio does suck big time and I rarely listen to any of the stations here anymore, only when my batttery is going flat on my cd player and well sometimes the engine noise of a old double decker bus is more appealing than what is on offer. I am just so glad that I discovered the Stones, through this crap and it is understandable that many don't become fans of this music when they have no medium on offer where they can hear or see it. I pity them as well when I thank the lord above for showing me the light.
Time to run 20 red lights in his honour...speak to you all later.

I suggest you all dig a little deeper into the contemporary scene and discover a little light at the end of the tunnel. And next time you're in Kansas City, stop by the excellent record shop Recycled Sounds, or turn your dial to 90.1 KKFI Public Radio.
Of course the mainstream has turned entertainment into a boring morass of mediocrity and disappointment. But just because they put shit on your plate don't mean you got to eat it! Go eat out! Isn't that the primary message on the board these days?

Sorry Feej, but one of the worst things on there is seeing a hack like Nugent up there with the Allmans and Young. Or even on there at all.
Damn Yankees. Man that stuff sucked! |

TOMMY SHAW RULES!!!! And he'll be competing in the Best Hair thread contest gainst the likes of Keef...Kansas City voters: tune in your hair spritzers.
 O.K., just this is just for a laugh, but I do like his Girls With Guns song--came out when I was in eleventh grade. I got to burn that one to CD sometime...take me back to my Breakfast Club Prom Days.
Stand tall, don't think small
Don't get your back against the wall
Shoot straight, I can't wait
Aim for the heart and fire away....
btw, Fiji, did you know that basketball player Bill Lambier was one of the Sleestaks. Guess the "acting" part payed some pocket money while he attended UCAL (or wherever he went).

I agree with egon! It's KANSAS CITY RADIO for God's sake! If I let my blood boil everytime the Stones aren't given their "props", I'd have stroked long ago!  We all know who belongs at Number 1 and that's all that counts. Happy New Year everyone!!  |

Funny thing - I've been listening to this radio station out of Zion (not the best name for a town with a nuclear power plant right now...) - somewhere around 69 on the dial - and every time I get in the car they're playing Exile or Sticky Fingers. It's kinda surreal. As if some rich guy bought the station and said "fuck it - I'm ONLY playing Exile and Sticky Fingers - so THERE!"

Well that's what 102.4 KMAX will be doing.
It's gonna be the coolest!
I have Riffhard as the General Manager in charge of Programming.
I have Nanky as in-house counsel.
I have Nasty Habits as Grand Imperial Officer (GIO) in charge of all things "Good and Funky".
I have Joey as afternoon drive time DJ. (He'll be doing that mornings Howard Stern word for word) Genius!
Dande, will you come work for me? I'll need someone to point out any gayness that might be going on.

I read recently Mick says he always listens to college radio
when he hits a town. He said that is where you hear the best and the good new stuff.
You are right, WXRT is the only decent station in Chicago |
