I get why these generic radio stations exist: at any time somebody can turn on the station and the song they hear is one they already know and know the words to. They mainly play(at least the one I listen to at work ugh) #1 hit singles which is why some popular bands only have a song on rotation even if they are super huge bands. Such as the station I have to listen to only plays to my knowledge, one Pink Floyd song, another brick pt 2., because it hit #1. Not every pink floyd single has done that, but it shouldnt make a difference because a lot of people will recall other PF hits as well even if not #1. I don't really care for "classic rock" at all, but there should be a radio station that plays more than just #1 hit songs and some others. What would the harm be in giving the unwashed masses at the very least every PF single on rotation? i dont know. I used to argue with my boss about the lack of variety when I was a DJ. We had (at the time) almost 40 years of music to pick from. Why are we only playing the same Rolling Stones songs? Hendrix? Etc. He told me it had to do with licensing and fees, and well as audiences. People will probably only listen to songs they're familiar with. Radio stations start playing songs that no one but hardcore fans know, then they're likely going to lose a lot of their listeners He explained the money part and it was so damn confusing and complicated, I can't even begin to accurately explain it here --- PSN: CPortzline <cite>CTLM posted [p:923495209] in Turned on ...
