I hardly ever listen to the radio. The main reason: I'm pretty sure the music I want to listen to isn't going to be playing on the radio anytime soon. How do I know this? I called Kiss once and asked. And yes, yes I really did that.
So I decided to listen to the radio yesterday while I did my work, for the first time in about 500 years (mainly just 3-4 years). I heard Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, We the Kings, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, some rap song about sex and alcohol, some rap song about a birthday and saying ahh (I think?), and finally BedRock (Drake will forever be Wheelchair Jimmy to me). Within 30 minutes, Taylor Swift actually came up twice. I know that radios have a certain list of songs that they have to pick off of to play, but there was no other song besides two Swift songs to listen to?
I found it weird that it took a while for a Lady GaGa song to come on (Rah, rah, rah, ah ah!). GaGa should be played more than Swift.
But anyway...
I respect bands/singers that don't put their music up for radio play. One, their song won't get old so quickly. Two, their song won't get old so quickly. I love being able to put on my iPod and hear Bon Iver, Butch Walker, and Kate Voegele (sorry for name dropping artists I like) instead of turning on the radio and hearing Swift sing about another broken heart and some ore fairytales.
The radio annoys me... that is basically all. Sorry for a rant. ha!

I agree, for the most part the radio plays nothing I care to listen to. Unless I break down and get satellite radio. But then again I am a college student who doesn't want any extra expenses! I must say, that there are certain artists who's music PLAYS on the radio that I enjoy. Sure, one or two songs a year may get overplayed but I honestly have no idea about that because I just listen to their CD's. On the rare occasion where I have to listen to the radio, I find myself constantly changing the channel and getting annoyed at what I am being forced to listen to. I would much rather pick an artist off my iPod that wont constantly annoy me, thank you very much!
