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
