http://www.ultimatemetal.com/~bumble/Nickelback - How You Remind Me Of Someday.mp3 Nickleback songs "Someday" and "How you remind me" played simultaneously together. Notice the similarities in sound of these no talent hacks? The radio sucks.
All I listen to now are KTRH, and 610 Sports Radio. Also I listen to a broadcast from Brenham 1280 to listen to Paul Harvey etc. around 1pm.
Look at it this way...if they played only "real" music (WTF is that supposed to mean anyway?) and made no money, you eventually would have dead air. I'm not a major fan of a lot of the bands getting a lot of airtime, but it is better than not having it at all. If you think that this is something new in radio, I recommend that you read a book entitled "Hit Men." It is all about David Geffen, Joe Isgro and the like in the 1970s.
The problem is Clear Channel's formula programming. Nobody is bashing them for making money. It is how they make money that sucks. To say these large corporate stations must use stale, repetitious programing to do it is idiotic.
