Some of you enjoyed our suggestions yesterday ... others felt it's a losing battle ... and (as Billy Joel tells us at least nine or ten times a day) you may be right ... we can't change this by ourselves. It's going to take an army to win this war ... and we need your help.
Why can't we enjoy the best of BOTH worlds? Why can't the playlists be expanded to offer more variety, along with the endless stream of same-old / same-old? You'll still get your dozen favorites every hour ... but they'll be mixed in with other songs you'll also enjoy.
To prove a point, here are a few more ideas ...
Instead of 867 - 5309 again and again and again, how about
once in a while?
Instead of Brown-Eyed Girl ...
how about Green-Eyed Lady?
One of my favorite songs of all time is "Hotel California" by The Eagles ... but as much as I love it, I DON'T really need to hear it fifteen times a week. (Overplay is ruining this one for me ... and there ARE other hotels out there you know!)
Another one that just seems to play ad nauseum is "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John ... GREAT song ... but you've done it to death ... it's actually gotten to the point where I don't feel ANYTHING for it anymore ... just a "white noise" numbness.
Why not break that monotony with this one?
Here's a clever break in the action ...
From the "Last Train To Clarksville" to the "Next Plane To London"!!!
There is SO much Fleetwood Mac on the radio ...
Instead of "Go Your Own Way", why not ...
Instead of Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock And Roll" playing six times a day for 25 years straight now (damn you, Tom Cruise!) how about ...
And HERE'S a clever idea ...
Skip Steve Miller's "Take The Money And Run" and play THIS one instead!
I just want radio to be NORMAL again ...
And wouldn't "normal" be the status quo???
OK, I'm done ...
But can you SERIOUSLY tell me that any one of these songs wouldn't sound better coming out of your radio today than what you're actually going to hear instead?
C'mon guys ... mix it up a little ...
Dare To Be Different ...
Play The Unexpected!
