Lost In Xanadu Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Rock stations are dying. Effing country taking over, stations I knew to be rock at one time are now country. I used a site called radio locator while my wife drove to find stations in the area... 1, maybe 2 rock stations in the list of dozens in the area. :( Always liked the variety radio stations give, guess I have to connect the ipod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verena Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Things change but I dislike the idea of rock radio stations die. I belong to the time where people/ bands are promoted this way. Hopefully some or few will last. We do need them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 It surprises me that country has so many fans.A lot of people living between towns and cities. Country isn't really country anymore though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I actually don't play the radio 99% of the time. Occasionally I'll pop in a CD or hook up the MPEG for really long drives. I enjoy the solitude of driving in quiet and all the music distracts me from the voices in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I had heard that radio in general was dying. (I personally haven't really listened to commercial radio for any length of time since the 80s.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Country isn't taking over. Pop and rap are.not where we drove! Like 60% of the stations were country Did you drive through Iowa? Because then it would make sense. We have a select few rock stations, one of which is the shitty grunge station, one is an awesome rock station that plays everything from the 60's to new stuff, and a "mommy rock" station where they play all the one hit wonders and Foreigner, and any song that has the word "damn" or "hell" in it gets bleeped out.

LittleRushmonkey Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The UK's radio stations seem to be devoted to crappy pop and rap music. The closest we get is the Bob Harris show which I don't like, although he did interview Steven Wilson last week which was cool :) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
