Re: JIM PRICE STINKS !!!
I'd rather listen to Price than Bobby Scales. I always thought Austin Jackson and Andy Dirks did a better job but apparently Scales is next in line to Price? Scales sure needs a lot of work. 100%. I'll never understand the raw hatred for Price, as I think he does a great job. Heavy on his -isms but...

Re: 89X airchecks from 1995 & 1996
Man, I would definitely listen to a station like this.
Oh, that's right. A station did like exist like this once and it was driven unceremoniously into the ground.

Re: 89X Memories
In the summer of 1990 I learned that Greg St James was moving to 88.7 to do a Alternative Rock show in the evenings, even the term Alternative was fairly new as the terms Modern Rock and New Wave and New Music were still in use. I tuned in the 1st night of "The Cutting Edge of Rock" at 8pm to liste...

If they're considering Billie Eilish "alternative", then someone made a mistake.

Re: RIP 89X
Wow, has it actually been 30 years? I haven't listened to 89X in many years, but this still stings a bit since I listened to them exclusively in my early 20s. From the time they were The Cutting Edge doing only a few hours a night to the late 2000s, they definitely shaped my music interest as I was ...

Re: Free Press & News putting up paywall on Aug 12
There is a simple method to get around the paywall on the Free Press and Detroit News websites. (I'm sure it work works on other sites with paywalls as well) Copy the link of the article you wish to see and paste it into the URL bar of your browser. Then to the front of the link, add this address: h...

Re: WCSX
Well, technically, if you go with the thought of "classic rock" being songs more than 20 years old, then it qualifies. That song was released in '95, making it 24 years old. (hard to believe, I know) When CSX came on the air in 1987, it was playing songs barely 20 years old and although I suppose th...

Re: Overplayed Classic Rock Songs
What's even worse than listening to the utterly overplayed tracks is listening to people call in requesting those overplayed tracks.
"OMG I can't believe I'm on! Could you play Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi??"
Because, you know, they haven't heard that song for at least 30 minutes.

I dunno. Just scanning through the full playlist from kickoff through until now (noon, Saturday), I just see the same, tired, set of songs you can hear (and have heard) endlessly anywhere else. :barf Nirvana - 5 plays. Same crap. Pink Floyd - 6 plays. Same crap. ZZ Top - 7 plays. Same crap. Led Zepp...

Re: Best Detroit stations of all time
Not much more can be said that hasn't already but in my opinion: Late 70s, through the 80s, WABX, WLLZ, WRIF, in that order. Those stations defined music for me while growing up and I don't think anything on the radio will ever reach those standards again, in this or any other market. Also while not...
