Do you have a regular radio station...

that plays good music? Not XM or Sirius but a local feed. We just got a new one and it's classic rock but i've heard brand new Dokken, Def Leppard, newer Dio and a lot of other 80's bands. Pretty cool, hope they make it.

i don't listen to radio

The all news station

Not really. A "rock" station that plays mostly new(er) and crap(pier) stuff and a "rock" station that plays some pretty good classic rock/metal...but way too much of the same over and over.

TN has some good radio stations I like 96.3 Jack FM plays a nice mix of music, one min will be AC/DC next will be David Bowie

97.1 FM is a good one the station "That rocks"

94 rock, which plays a lot of metal and sometimes 102.5 which is better for the classics.

107.3 WAAF out of Boston. Good stuff, Been a listener since the early 90's.

Has it changed much Sentinel? There's a station in Portland where I grew up that was rock/metal but went completely grunge. When I visit now I notice a lot of the modern bands like Slipknot, Disturbed and the like but I also notice them slipping in Megadeth and Metallica. They're also corporate so they have a recorded morning show and are very formatted. I miss the days when stations had local flavor.

Nope.

There hasn't been a great over the air raido station sinc e the days of Z-ROCK

I mainly listen t 88.5 WXPN, it's public radio out of Philly, but they mainly purvey mix of classic rock, alternative and old and alternative country...in an hour you heaar like 55 minutes of music...from TOM WAITS to THE CLASH to BOB MARLEY to MERLE HAGGARD as well as stuff like DURAN DURAN, THE CURE, and DEAD KENNEDYS...

They are however sadly lacking in the metal department.

Radio in the New York Metro area sucks. I listen to the local AM news station in the car on my way to work (and for Yankees games during baseball season) but I haven't listened to any music stations for years.

Sentinel where are you from? Im originally from CT Id listen to this station when i could get it in, in SE CT it was the ONLY decent station there

I live in Tampa, Fl and the stations over here are terrible, 98 Rock play nu-metal, alt metal, and of course Metallica. I would not have a problem with this if they didn't play same damn songs over and over. 97 x plays emo, pop punk and other hippster bands, most of the music is boring and again repetative playlist. Classic Rock Stations The Bone is stuck on repeat as far song selection and we have an all 80's station, the same as the above. I usually listen to our public radio station 88.5 because they usually play a varied music genres but no metal.

I never listen to the radio.I always have a stack of cds in the car,garage or house to listen to

I pretty much stopped listening to commercial radio about 3 or 4 years ago and I don't miss it one bit. The only time I hear radio is when I have no control over the situation.

In Phoenix, we got 93.3 kdkb and 97.9 kupd. 93.3 plays a lot of the Dokken, Crue, Van Halen, Metallica, and a bunch of other good stuff. Then they play Saving Able, Nickelback, other corporate rock. 97.9 plays alt-metal, corporate rock, and nu metal, but they also play Ozzy, Sabbath, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Judas Priest, and some other stuff you wouldn't expect to hear on that station. I mainly stick with 100.7 kslx which plays classic rock.

LOL - I listen to the local news station (ours is on FM) for traffic and quick news hits on the way to work, then switch over to the ipod

bump

There is a station out of Safford AZ that we can pick up here that is actually really good. Classic rock and metal, but they are not afraid to play the deeper cuts, it's not all hits. Plus, it's a true independant station. Good stuff.

Sounds good, today I actually heard Long Cold Winter.

I've travelled through Michigan a few times this summer, and whenever I go through Kalamazoo, I listen to 92.5 The Zoo. It's pretty solid. They tend to play a lot of 80's metal.

There's a station in Balsam Lake WI, that broadcasts Minnesota Twins games. That's nice because I have a hard time pulling the Twins in otherwise.

Well at your age, you can expect some difficulty. However there are many products on the market that can help.
