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?

I rarely ever hear Badfinger anymore. Emmit Rhodes is forgotten. Bob Seger now lives in your local Kareoke bar. Ritchie Blackmore's new band, "Blackmore's Night" is another. Here's a guy who contributed so much to FM in the 70's. Now he's performing some of the best work of his career, and no one plays it.

I used to want my MTV. Now, I'm wondering if I would miss my TV at all?
