Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO?

The dearth of radio stations that employ "disc jockeys" has spawned a whole generation of listeners who never hear their favourite songs and artists broadcast. In the "old days" every city had an avant garde FM station that would play all sorts of songs form a wide range of musicians.

I NEVER hear...Tanita Tikaram "Lovers in the City"...Emmylou Harris "Bang the Drum Slowly"...Daniel Langlois "Acadie"...or Eva Cassidy "Songbird", and so many others. Even the "oldies" stations don't venture far from the "top 100 Hits" list. Sad.

My 310E Scott tuner is getting sick of it!

What precious tracks have you NOT heard on the radio?

Happy Rhodes album titled "Warpaint." Is the first that comes to mind. It is an intoxicating album released in 1991 that I still enjoy today.

While shopping for music, the store played a cut and I bought a copy on the spot. I was surprised to never hear her get any air play with all the local stations we have in this market.

The alternative music scene is even more depressed today, as radio stations follow the "fast food" programming that plagues broadcast TV.
