Well, it's like, you've had classic rock since like 1977, oldies, throwback hip hop, classic country...yet every station acts like 1990-2001 never happened, unless it's Nirvana, AIC, couple of Soundgarden tunes, Green Day from "Dookie", Weezer from the blue album, and Loser by Beck.
Ya forget Metallica's "Black" album and the various works of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. :blink
Silly me. I also forgot STP "Core". 10 Goddamn years and you get a 2 disc set of the decade. Fuck that.

Let's interrupt this song so we can go on a 2 minute commercial break. We promised!

I have totally given up on radio other than to listen to 950 once in awhile. Otherwise, Sirius XM and Pandora! Loving this Linkin Park station.

I like STP's Core album. Sirius I find to be repetitious, on some of the channels. I have a sirus-XM radio in my car but it's not activated.

The $5 or $6 I pay a month is worth it JUST for Faction Punk. I won't find that stuff on any FM channel.

It's a good thing Audacy doesn't program XM. 90s on 9 would have Saturday Night Fever songs playing and Joni Mitchell on Turbo lol

Will you fill out this poll I made about what bands people want to hear on an alternative station? Just choose up to 11 boxes that’s it.

Thank you.

I have to admit, I'm surprised! The sweep I caught was:
NIN - Head Like a Hole
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
2 minute spots
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California

3 actual rock songs in a row. Nice job.

But this just means I'm 10 minutes away from Billie Eilish now!

I like Billie but that song grates on me.

I have to wonder...could they work around that 2 minute promise thing if they didn't spend 20-30 seconds telling us it is only a 2 minute break?

Billie Eilish should be sending Shirley Manson royalty checks, because "Therefore I Am" sounds like an out and out rewrite of Garbage's "Queer." Now THERE's an 89X throwback for ya.
