Do rock and roll radio stations annoy you?

I would rather listen to rock and roll than anything else but radio stations suck! All they do is play the same songs over and over that were the most popular. I want to here different stuff from different bands not just acdc and queen.

    I'm on the fence about this one, my area's rock station (D.C.101) plays all types of rock.

    But, they do overplay Kids by MGMT and 1901 by Pheonix. It was too bad, I really liked those songs, until they over killed it.

    But I still like Kids. MGMT ftw.

    as far as music goes I have never listen to music on the radio since the early 60's, in fact I never owned a radio since that time also. Only time I may have hear music on the radio is in somebody elses home or car. And even then I did not like it.

    take care

    Yes. One radio station tries to satisfy everyone and people end up flipping between channels or putting a CD on.

    haha yep. I never hear ACDC or Queen on my station, but in one day you can hear the song "1901" and "lisztomania" by Phoenix maybe 25 - 30 times. They play new divide by linkin park about 15 times, and any muse song every hour.

    It goes like that every day.....

    Source(s): If you check, the radio stations I listen to have a planned playlist online. For the whole day, all 24 hours, they only play ONE strokes song....at like 2 in the morning!

    it's not the selection that bothers me, it's the commercials. maybe it's because nobody listens to the radio anymore or what, but the average commercial break for the classic rock stations in my area last for 15-20 minutes. absolutely insane.

    I love Sirius, but unfortunately my free trial is expiring in a week.

    It's funny, the New Wave channel has a host called "Swedish Egil" and he can't pronounce r's, so he says stuff like "and that was Wio by Duwan Duwan on Siwius XM"...I just love him!

    i hate that, when the station plays the same few songs over and over again.

    On the rock station where I live, you'll hear the same group of songs repeated over and over again, every day. every month or so, they add to the playlist or remove a few songs.

    I feel you on that one. I can't stand listening to Rock radio; too much of the same.

    yes. complete agreement. radio is horribly repetative. the only radio i ever listen to is public radio or college radio. fortunately this is a modern age and i have a car stereo with a usb port.
