You don't have to give the actual name and identification number of the station if you feel it'll give away where you live. I personally like 80's rock and classic rock stations. Sometimes I listen to the radio for news because it's usually more convenient than trying to get in front of a TV at specific hours.

I actually never listen to radio unless someone else has one on. And in that case, I don't get to pick the station anyway.

Hit and away is my style!

Personal station on Yahoo! Launchcast.

Normal radio stations have just gone bad recently. One of the better stations here now has an identical music selection to another, more established station. It's a little irritating.

But you had to have the BIIIIIG salad!

The only time I listen to the radio is when I'm in the car by myself driving to and from work. I always listen to a classic rock or an oldies station. They're both owned by the same company, so they have a lot of overlapping content. The oldies station is more like a second classic rock station with some oldies thrown in. It doesn't really bother me because I do think there is a lot of old music, particularly from the 50's, that's outdated and not real fun or meaningful to listen to now.

There was this public radio station I used to listen to that was supposed to be a sort of refuge from the popular music stations in the area, but it just came off as pretentious most of the time.

I remember once this DJ was going off on how much she hated U2 (Fair enough, I can see why someone would hate them), only to turn around and play something from some unknown hipster band that sounded exactly like U2.

Since I got my Ipod, I just avoid the radio.

Bagel, Dammit! Bagel!

I don't really listen to the radio too much unless someone has it on in the car. It's usually an oldies or pop/rock station.

Where can I find...a bagel?

It's short for radiotelegraphy, where messages are transmitted by radiation rather than wire.

I like stuff from the 60s and 70s. Anything on up it depends on who they play.

I used to listen to the radio a lot when I was in highschool, but too many talk programs, and the mediocrity of what the newer bands they were playing, killed my interest in it.

I tend to channel surf a lot. There's a lot of local Philly stations here I listen to and an occasional Delaware station. I just stop the dial when I hear something I like.

and my bird can sing too!

i used to listen to internet radio stations/audio streams back in school where there's broadband. don't do that anymore. listened to an R.E.M. station on a rather popular R.E.M. fansite. some american indie rock stations and a mix of MP3.com stations(before it got bought over by some bigass company who changed it all).

there isn't much on the local airwaves here.

i like listening to x'ho's show in the morning @ lush 99.5. pretty much tune in to that station most of the time. they play a rather good mix of stuff, but usually it's way too much chill-out/lounge music. a lot of the stuff you might never find in most record stores.

i like don & drew's show on perfect 10. and the UK top 20 countdown from the same station. The Edge with Vernon A is sometimes good too(most of the supposedly trendy/hip pop/rock songs nowadays don't really move me).

when i don't hear nothing good over the stations , i usually end up with the classical music station(which occasionally plays new age stuff and which i don't like and some jazz which i'm only vaguely interested in).

I listen to Country/Western music on the radio the vast majority of the time, though on occasion I'll switch to a pop/rock station for maybe a week or two. Then I get sick of how every song there sounds the same and switch back to Country where (despite what some people say) most songs DON'T just sound the same...

I used to like listening to classic rock and 80's rock stations, but lately the only time I hear the radio is at work and they always have some crappy adult contemporary station playing Celine Deon and Mariah Carey and Shaiana Twain, and...blech...I try to mentally block it out by singing Sesame Street songs and the DK Rap.

Right now, I'm really loving 106.3 The Fox. I can no longer get this station on the radio around here, but I can listen to them over the internet at work. They not only have a good variety of classic, 80's, 90's, and modern rock, but they also play a lot of songs that aren't necessarily the most popular from the artists. That's the problem I have with the main classic rock station around here - they have a decent variety, but a lot of times they only play the most popular songs and thus you end up hearing the same songs several times a week.

It's probably the closest thing to 93.3 WMMR, which doesn't exist anymore, but was my favorite Philly station when I was really young, that I can find around here.

I heard "Take the Long Way Home" on this station today. It's amazing how that song always seems to pop up right after certain situations occur...

People at the Game Pond were always talking about bands that sound like U2. Really, what the hell IS up with bands doing this? I heard a song the other day on the radio that sounded like U2. The lead singer sounded just like Bono, the guitarist was playing his guitar exactly like The Edge. I figured it must be some U2 song I'm not familiar with because I haven't heard as much of their newer stuff since "Mysterious Ways".

But when the song was over the DJ said the name of the band and it wasn't U2. I was dumbfounded. I wish I could remember now who it really was, but I can't.

a whole load of new bands who made it to the charts sound like coldplay and coldplay sounds like u2...
