I grew up in NJ and could pick up Philly, NYC, Trenton and WPRB(Princeton U). WMMR, WYSP, and WIOQ was what AOR radio was all about in the 70s!

Even though I love rock and roll, I think most rock and roll stations, especially in Philadelphia, are boring. They mostly play a few of the hits of the major acts. How many times do your really want to hear freaking Pink Floyd's "Money?" The shit gets on my nerves. Maybe the decline of the rock radio format will spur some change. If not, there is always talk radio or gangsta rap.
Pop it like its hot, wankstah.

>One of the biggest problems facing rock is the lack of new innovative bands who can connect with the teenagers and young adults of today. <
Baloney. There are lots of young, fresh, innovative bands out there just waiting to make the connection.
The PROBLEM is that the stupid fucknut numbercrunchers that don't know, or care, about music are in control of mass distribution of music. Both in what gets sold in stores, and what gets played on the radio. Teenagers and young adults....hell, ANYONE....will never ever get a chance to even CONSIDER making a connection with a band that plays ByGod Rock n Roll...like say...The Reigning Sound, or The Detroit Cobras, or The Dirtbombs, or The Come Ons, or The Forty Fives...and this isn't even counting the bands that have been around for lots of years, like The Chesterfield Kings, or The Romantics, or The Fuzztones, or The Fleshtones....shit, I could list HUNDREDS of bands that deserve to be heard.
But we'll never hear them on the radio....and you'll never hear about their new record....they'll never get a push. Why? Because Clear Channel and Sony don't think you need to hear them.
But the good news is....we don't fuckin need the corporate fucknuts. We got the internet. We got places like Rocks Off where people who dig rock n roll will turn you on to cool stuff. We got Google...you just type in a band name or a record lable and blammo! you can hear 'em, see 'em, find out where to go watch 'em play, buy their CDs.
Fuck rock radio. It died for me YEARS ago. And it was one of the BEST things that ever happened to me. You wanna rock n roll....then fuckin' DO IT. All it takes is a little extra effort on your part.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled programimg...
And you know what else....let the young crowd suck on the corporate teat. Fuck 'em. They are sheep. |

I agree with SS. The music is out there and it is better than ever! The only time I listen to radio, other than college stations, is at work and I only turn it up when I hear a song I like. 12 CDs in the car, 100s at the house, MP3 players, internet, sateliite radio, music DVDs, and 20+ concerts per year for the past 25 years. Corporate radio can kiss my ass! |

Too bad Gypsy. You can't have it.
You made fun of my new punk rock jacket. That is a no-no.
I shall not shake your hand in greeting, or let you buy me top shelf liquor at the proposed gathering for the next alleged upcoming Stones tour. But I may let you touch my new punk rock jacket just so you can miss what could have been even more so.
No, I'll be "spending" time with Lady Jane. She knows how to appreciate a good thing.
'69 Chevy? Chevelle, Camaro, or 'Vette? |

Gypsy...
Where I am from there are certain things that you just do NOT mess with. Not for any reason. It's sort of our hillbilly code of honor.
Do not mess with:
1. Someone's car.
2. Someone's money.
3. Someone's squeeze.
4. Someone's stash.
5. Someone's PUNK ROCK JACKET.
Besides...it's not up to me anymore. I have given myself to LJ. You will have to convince HER to share me with you.
Personally, I hope she is feeling greedy. |

Rock and Roll as we know it was killed by the following:
1. Rap
2. MTV
3. Cobain |

Chevelle! Pure American muscle.
I had a '70 Chevelle SS. 400 sm block bored 30 thou over.
Cops would pull me over just to check it out.
I'm buying a hot rod this spring. I was thinking Stingray, but I may have to get another Chevelle. Man, I loved that car...
Cobain did nothing to hurt Rock n Roll. If anything he put it back on the map for another 10 years. |

Really man. Cobain helped keep music on MTV itself & on the radio. He's blameless. Stupid but blameless. |
