sigmagrrl - it's called CORPORATE ROCK. Advertisers are much more involved in playlists now and they usually pick the "safest" songs from an album. Plus (stupid deregulation) the laws that used to prevent a company from owning more than one station in a market are gone so one company can own 5 stations. Booo!! I could rant at length about this but it's too early in the AM!
My imponderable: do we call an orange an orange because it's orange, or is the color orange called orange because of the orange?
Another imponderable: why do the morning DJ's I listen to insist on talking over the beginning of "Monkey Man" by the Rolling Stones when that's the best part of the song??? This is happening as I type. GRRRRR!
