Maybe they could even ask what their > listeners would prefer to hear in place of these overplayed tracks. > Actually, this happened in my area a couple of years ago. This atrocious classic album station got together about 50 of us in a hotel ballroom in suburban Kansas City and had us "grade" the results of their playlist. They'd play three or four-second snippets of a song and we were supposed to circle in a number that corresponded to how we felt about it. #1 was something like Really Like It and #5 equalled Hate It, Take It Off The Air with 2, 3 and 4 being gradations in between. Suffice to say that about 90% of my marks fell into the '5' category. After a couple of hours of this and also after many others had already left, someone FINALLY asked those of us remaining what we'd like to hear that wasn't on their little pre-approved list. But we couldn't write it down and give it to them; instead we had to shout out song titles and hope that someone took a mental note. Well my voice doesn't carry too well and am sure that my plea for the Stooges went unheard. Of course this all came to naught as I heard no noticeable difference in formats since then. Oh well, for a weekday morning's "work" we got $50 and a t-shirt. - -- Rick ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 18:57:43 -0500 (EST) From: troggman@webtv.net (Todd Lucas) Subject: Re: The Suck List >Which begs the question: How many LP/singles >do you all think a band or an artist have in them >before they tank artistically/stylistically?

True,the first Queen album was pretty rockin'. They lost me after that. And saying that Queen was into self parody may be engaging in a lil bit of revisionist history. As for Oasis,I saw them at Jones Beach in 1996 and they were a good rock 'n' roll band. As far as their "bigger than The Beatles" statements those Gallagher brothers make,how much publicity mileage do you think they've gotten outta that remark?! Guess the point is to be adored,abhored,but never ignored. They had two good albums and now unfortunately their music pales before this LARGER THAN LIFE image that they created for themselves. "Bigger than the Stone Roses" might be more accurate-ha ha.--Nancy Neon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 07 Jan 2001 00:16:22 From: "tiemen kuipers" Subject: Re: I'm On the Lamb, but I ain't no...

I remember finding and wearing a Styrofoam Wrecker Bar hat at my grandma's house when I was a little kid. I always thought it was a "bar" bar. Anyone (Lemlich?) have any additional info and/or stories about this Coral Gables record store? The ad comes in at the 10:23 mark on the RealPlayer: http://www.reelradio.com/gk/index.html#rswqam66 Listening to these airchecks makes you wish you grew up in mid-sixties Miami. South Florida had some great boss radio that created and reflected the excitement of the times and area. After hearing Dinos play "2s Better than Three" by the Maundy Quintet on his "Our Little Rendez-vous" radio show, I'm going to check out that Florida "Psychedelic States" comp from Gear Fab. Going up I-75, Michigan is responsible for three of the biggest sucko songs: "Hotel California," "Turn the Page," and "Old Time Rock & Roll," due to the fact that Glenn Fry and Bob Seger were from Michigan. I remember hearing "Hotel California" and "Turn the Page" through the thin walls of the college dorm almost every night because the mooks next door had to listen to this sewage while getting high. "Old Time Rock & Roll" is played on both oldies and classic rock radio, so its potential to grate is double. Never minded Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" because I laugh at its bombastic nature & length and it reminds me of the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemount High" and ex-USC quarterback, Todd Marinovich (it was/is his favorite song). I think they mistakenly refer to it in "Fast Times" as being found on "Led Zeppelin IV." Styx never really bothered me because they were so pretentious that they set themselves up as their own silly joke. The Cavedogs played an intriguing cover of "Renegade" in their set opening for Mojo Nixon and the Dead Milkmen on the 1990 Enigma tour. A couple of years later at college, I would have to put up hearing the modern crock of Pearl Jam's "Alive" and "Mr Jones" by the Counting Crows being played over & over though the cinder block by the next room's inconsiderate thickheads. Finally, the all-time most annoying and painful song might be a tie between "Your Mama Don't Dance" by Loggins & Messina and "Broken "Wings" by Mister Mister. Keep those Bruce Hornsby, Don Henley, and Phil Collins records faraway, Ted L. MopTop Mike wrote: <<"Run Joey Run" by David Geddes - hey- he's from Michigan!

Hello...... That WCPAEB article appeared in an issue of Ptolemic Terrascope of few issues back(which could be a few years for all I know). "I Go Ape" was originally done by Neil Sedaka (late 50's/early 60's?)! Queens first record is pretty good (very loud) and was definitely part of the GLAM scene. There is an issue of Melody Maker from 73 or 74 that the cover shows about 16 groups/artists re:GLAM including the likes of Queen,T Rex,Mott,Roxy, Slade,Glitter,Sweet,etc.,etc.-great cover, actually. In regards to radio irritants, I'm suprised nobody mentioned Morris Albert- FEELINGS and it's 90's counterpart, BUTTERFLY KISSES by Bob Carlisle (these have to count!). Speaking of 70's/80's lamo bands trying to pick up the "glory' of their "heyday" by reuniting and touring-LOVERBOY had to cancel a gig here last summer because no one wanted to go! AND it was at a club that probably had 300 capacity... And last but not least I saw Pat Metheny jump onstage at an Ornette Coleman show in Montreal in the early 90's and he totally wanked away making so much feedback and noise all he did was break strings! Avant noise to the max-my sister walked out! Stigliano would have gone apeshit (speaking of Neil Sedaka!) BOC's first 3 records are great-I've got a tape of them playing at Shakeys Pizza 1970 and they do a wild cover of Born To Be Wild. Styx at least recorded a decent version of Lies.....

I have several in my collection from WQAM (check out the Roby Yonge aircheck if you get the chance) and WFUN in Miami, along with one from WLOF in Orlando. They're all winners.

Shit, that record > represents a good chunk of my high school years. > If you just heard it once, it would still take up a good chunk of your high school years, but if I have to listen to a 10 minute song I'd rather heard something with actual lyrics, melodies, harmonies and an arrangement than two minutes of song padded out with a drum solo. (which was done by Arthur Lee, who seems fairly well respected around here) The exception to this is American Pie. A song about the history of rock and roll that barely uses an electric guitar? I just don't understand. ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2001 #18 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
