The Death of Commercial Rock Radio is an Example of what happens when Corporations let computers select the top 200 songs and then play them again and again and again... because that's the way to capture the ears of the largest audience... and sell advertising at the highest price... This is a taste of the world AI will create..
VKK SAID: I wish the Bay had a decent rock station, I remember being big mad how they seemed to get rid of it when we lived there lol
SE REPLIED: You're probably thinking of Live 105, which plays alternative rock and 90's rock. Live 105 went away for a while, but now it's back, and it was very much needed. But I do wish they were more like they were when they first started in the 80's. In the 80's, "alternative rock" meant an "alternative" to regular rock, which was stuff like Led Zeppelin and the Who and Pink Floyd, and also Motley Crue and Def Leppard and stuff like that. Live 105 played new wave and industrial and goth and punk. Their format changed in the 90's when grunge mostly killed all of those other genres, and "alternative rock" was no longer an alternative to regular rock, it was just the mainstream rock: Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains and stuff like that. And I guess they still played some punk, but mostly newer punk like Green Day and the Offspring. So I wish they'd go back to the new wave, industrial, and goth music they played in the 80's. But there doesn't seem to be as much demand for that now, for some reason.
SLJ SAID: I'm really NOT a fan of jazz. But I actually have one of my car radio presets to KCSM, College of San Mateo. 80% of the time they're playing music classified as jazz but it's too chaotic for the meter in my head. I can't seem to find the "pulse" of many songs so I bail and go to one of my other stations. BUT, then again, sometimes they play some really cool and interesting songs that I simply love! The same is true with a lot of classical music so again I have a preset to a classical station. Some of that music I absolutely can't stand but every once in a while they play some really cool songs. I wonder if part of my diverse listening (rock, country, punk, electronic, folk, etc.) habits come from being a musician because I find myself figuring out what they're doing rather that just enjoying it. One thing for sure though, I don't listen to a CD collection. I'm a random radio listener.
SE REPLIED: I never used to like jazz either, with the exception of big band/swing. But I didn't think I liked other types of jazz...but then in 2016, I went to the San Jose Jazz Festival for the first time, and I realized that there are a lot of different styles of jazz, and I actually like a lot of it! But big band/swing is still my favorite. I spend most of my time at the big band stage when I go to the jazz festival.

What does it take to convince Google News that I don't want to read ANY STORIES EVER about the Kardashians? I click on fewer stories and that makes my google news KK free for a WEEK... or maybe TWO and then the INFESTATION RETURNS!
