I guess it'a a "world" problem LOL. I
agree, I also don't like playlists. Let the dj come and play what he wants. And
why someone decides, that THIS particular song gets airplay and is
played 10 times a day for example. I'm a person more "rock - orientated"
lol, but still like to listen to other music. We don't have rock, pop,
or black music formats in Poland, but radio right now looks like - all
pop. They won't play anything rock, because it's too hard and people turn
off the radio (they think)...They won't play much new (or not so
well-known) bands, because they can play The Beatles (no offense, just an
example),a lot of people know it, like it better, so *why should I play
Virgos Merlot* (example). That's wrong in my opinion. I may like something else, that I even have never
heard of before. I don't know...some folk music from Africa, may be interesing,
huh? I would like to have a choice.
About the djs - one likes
rock, so let him play rock, the other jazz, next soul, etc. You have the
diversity.You can write to them and give your opinions, telling what you would
like to hear more or so. They talk to you.You can have just a little
input. I think it's cool. It's all about people. Not about the
money.
I don't hate pop, I like some of this
music. It's just the pop music has a tough time right now, it's more how do you
look like, if the video is good, etc. The skills are not so much important
anymore - if you can sing live, has something interesting to
say. Although there are some interesting pop bands. Unfortunately one of
them, which I like (Savage Garden) no longer exists...

This is true, but I
really do think radio has just continued to get worse and worse for years
now. There ARE exceptions, your K Rock being one of them, along with
about a half dozen others that come immediately to mind, including MY local,
X103. But a perfect example of what I mean is the very station I just
mentioned. Five years ago, I would have put X103 at the VERY top of my
list. They flat-out ROCKED, playing ALL genres of rock music. And
there was NO PLAYLIST. The DJ's played what THEY wanted to play,
not what some "suit" TOLD them to play. Now, they play mostly what they
HAVE to, with some "free play" thrown in just so we know there's an actual
person in the studio. Granted, ROCK radio doesn't suck NEARLY as much as
POP radio, but it's still pretty damn lame.
BTW, those on my list,
feel free to take the debate up with me there as well! I'm getting
pretty good at this shameless plugging!
