One of the reasons that I started putting together my collection of CD's 
was that I hated what was getting played on the radio.  I'm really not a 
big fan of radio, and the fact that I'm now at college allows me to go 
without the usual quota of radio I got in my car.  However...

Stuff that should be taken out and shot (a la the JAE Success Story 
sequence in TKAA):
1.  Peter Frampton.
2.  John Mellencamp.
3.  Most Billy Joel.
4.  Latter-day Aerosmith.
5.  Steely Dan.
6.  Anything that sounds like Steely Dan.

Stuff they could tone down:
1.  Boston, Kansas, etc.
2.  Post-71 Rolling Stones.
3.  '70's and '80's Clapton
4.  The Police
5.  And tons of others I can't think of.

Play more:
1.  Who
2.  Early Deep Purple.
3.  Zappa
4.  Chuck Berry
