Does your radio station do this?

KarenC725 · #1 12-06-2001, 11:36 AM

Do any of you listen to the radio while at work? Well, in my part of the building I can only get one station. They play the same 5 songs about 20 times between 7:30 and 5. IT ANNOYS THE CRAP OUT OF ME! I've counted and emailed the counts to the station to show my frustration. Does this happen to anyone else???

There is one station here that does that. They play bare naked ladies OVER AND OVER AND OVER then they play everything else(a 30 song catalog) in between the BNLs crap... It irritates the fuck out of me! If that station is on at work, I either put in ear plugs or go into the other shop!! I puts me in a bad mood all day. Mostly cause I cant stand the crap music, but then playing it OVER AND OVER puts me on the verge of a mental breakdown!

Im in Minneapolis. I cant stand even hearing one note from them!!

If I had a million dollars, I would have them run over by a Kcar, a nice reliable automoile!!

I sympathize with you and your radio issues.

This is one of many reasons why, with the exception of all-sports radio, I've pretty much stopped listening to popular music. There is no imagination in playlists.

I mainly listen to straightahead jazz now and to my knowledge, there is only one commercial straightahead jazz station in the United States. My work computer has a sound card, free Real Player and Windows Media Player. So I'm very pleased with my work listening situation.

My tower is located in between three others so I have no choice on this. I dont' have speakers for my computer otherwise I'd play a cd. If I hear the new version of "In Your Eyes" or that damn "I Do" song again I will scream. And its not just that I love the PEter Gabriel version either.

YES! YES! and YES!

Our Top 40 stations do that frequently and while I don't listen to the radio THAT often, it does get annoying. I used to love a few songs in particular but now I've heard them so much I dislike them...like Gwen and Eve's "Let me blow your mind." I HATE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh God, I have gone on about this forever! Some of my biggest annoyances are:

Jennifer Lopez and Ja-Rule
Nickleback
Gwen and Eve

I actually liked the Nickleback song, but they are playing the death out of it!

I actually listen to country radio because they play stuff that is older than 2 months, and the college radio station. You hear the most interesting things on college radio.........

There's a great 80s station down here. Yeah, they repeat stuff like once a day, but its still good stuff.

Over the summer, the Top 40 stations were playing Lady Marmalade all day. Drove me nuts!

SparkliiQTMTSU · #11 12-06-2001, 03:14 PM

OH MY GOODNESS YES!!! I swear I hear the same song about 4 times in like 2-3 hours!!! it's sooo annoying and whats more annoying is when a station plays a songI dont wanna hear so I change it right and two other stations are playing the same exact song!!! UGH that just itches my brain!! LOL

Nichole

Try Spinner.com ... lots of choices of "stations" --

only recommended if you have high speed connection and of course, a computer at work. lol.

How about this...

I can get off work, get in my car, and tell you exactly what's going to be playing BEFORE I turn on the radio. The station that I listen to plays the same songs at the same time every afternoon! Ugh! And it's not like they play new music, either... The songs they repeat daily during the 5 o'clock rush hour are from the 80's and 90's. If I hear "Wild, Wild West" by the Escape Club followed by "Walk Like An Egyptian" one more time...

SilverTurtle · #14 12-06-2001, 05:06 PM

Our "Top 40" and "Pop" type stations play things over and over... which I don't listen to often anyways. One of the advantages of living in Columbus is the variety of radio. A few pop, a few rock, a few alt-rock, jazz, and of course NPR. And when I get sick of the same songs, there's always Public Radio.

About Barenaked Ladies. I used to hate the $1,000,000 song, too. Then I saw them at Horde Fest ('97 I think).. and OMG- what an amazing & fun show! I have seen them 4 times now, and am going again the end of December.

You should come work with me for a day. Talk about going insane!!!

I'm working at this temp job and my boss was nice enough to lead me a radio. Trouble is this has to be the crappy radio on the face of the earth. It only gets 5 stations that come in clear..All Spanish,All Christmas music,All Christian music,Top 40,and Hip Hop

Well 3 days of Christmas music got pretty boring,so I've been listening to Top 40. If I hear these songs one more time, I'm going to go insane

Fallin'-by Alicia Keys (I like this song as much as the next person,but I swear the dj plays this friging song ALL DAY LONG!!)

Hero-by Enrique Iglesis

That new song by Pink

That song by Mary J Blige

Turn out the lights by Nelly Furtad(sp)

That song by Leann Rhimes that was on the Coyote Ugly soundtrack

Hey Baby-No Doubt

Gone-by N'Sync(this song is really good. It hasn't started to annoy me yet)

There are a few others,but this are the ones that come to mind. Especially Fallin' (grrrrr)
