Rumour has it? Why is q100 just now adding that? I feel like i’ve heard that on Dave FM for a while now!

97.1 The River – 1977 called and they want their record collection back.

93 spins in a week? That’s more than once every 2 hours. Talk about overkill.

Gregor Porter sings “1960 What”…. if you really love good music, you should listen. Thanks WCLK 91.9

I like Adele, I think she’s a great singer, but I’m getting tired of hearing her! Or at least, these 2 songs (Set Fire To The Rain and Someone Like You).

Set Fire To The Rain has a nice hook and catchy phrasing but Someone Like You is pure ’slit your wrist’ music!

What’s awful is while your driving in Atlanta traffic after work, you are bound to hear songs repeated during your commute. I wonder if the radio stations are getting a kick back from the record labels to force this in our ears.

Funk, Jazz, Nu-soul and Classic ballards. Positive music eliminates negative emotions! 91.9 WCLK during your afternoon commute for a smooth ride home.

The River plays RUSH now. You couldn’t call yourself a Classic Rock station without them.

@levelhead and bmore chuck,

You are right about Gregory Porter. I heard his latest CD Be Good and he is the truth. It is refreshing to here a grown man sing about some grown man stuff. Also, I wanna hip you to Conya Doss “Don’t Change”. It is a great song. The video was nice too and I’m not a music video fan. It’s ashame that besides Michael Baisden and 91.9 WCLK no other R&B station in Atlanta is playing this song or anything by Robert Glasper.

@Annoyed with Music,

You are right on the money. They seem to play the same thing over and over again on commercial radio. That is why I’m considering satellite radio.
