Digital radio station Planet Rock, a message:
It is a sexist male hang, you never (or only ever once in a blue moon), play female vocals on your boring radio station, and hardly ever play anything we haven't heard before.
You play the songs Radar Love, Don't Fear The Reaper, Stargazer by Dio ONLY, and ilk, constanty repeated are Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, the Black Crows, Blackstone Cherry, ONE song by Alter Bridge (they've done 3 albums so far!), Aqualung by Jethro Tull (god, they've done more than just ONE song!)
Bob Segar (he's not rock), Aerosmith (ONE song repeatedly), AC/DC. That's it.
What you don't play and could is: Leaves Eyes, Winger, Fiona, The Strawbs (especially The Actor, Soldiers' Tail, and Burning for You if you want metal-ish songs), Juilianna Hatfield, 10,000 Maniacs, Coal Chamber, Therion, Iced Earth, Inkubus, Camelot - without giving too much away, there are tons more to be played.
Yes, yes some of this might be unknown to you, or old, but you don't play it.
Voodoo Six are copy-rock, predictable, and fake and you love them dispite the over-strained lack of vocal ability the lead 'singer' posesses.
This message comes from a person who loves rock/metal.
My 'rock-block' would be so deeply emmersed in rock you wouldn't know where you were going, you poor dears.
Planet Rock DJs are especialy clueless.
There's no variety, no knowledge behind song-descriptions, no energy (the segments are presented like the DJs are absorbed in nonchalant jokes), it's all just grating predictable chiche- take a listen to Voodoo 6's new one, that says it all. Nothing creative going on there then.
