If You Could Have Your Own Radio Station

[Knee V]

If you were to have your own radio station, what kind of station would you have? What kind of stuff would you play?

For myself, I'd have a station devoted to Rush. I'd play their studio album songs, their live songs, past interviews, etc.

that's one thing I love about JANGO- I have 6-7 stations that vary w/my usual moods.

1) Classic Rock (Stones, Black Crowes, Stevie Nicks mixed w/some Tina Turner etc)

2) Kid Rock (The LACS, etc)

3) Keith Richards (anybody that knows me-knew that was coming)

4) The Blues (Muddy Waters, Freddie King even Ray Wile Hubbard)

5) Country (Southern Rock-Shooter Jennings, Hank 3 & Skynard)

6) Pop (Clapton, Segar, Tom Petty and some one song wonders I like)

7) Smooth (Rita Coolidge, David Lanz, etc)

for the newer stuff I just reserve that for my car when I want to listen to something different than my own collection. I'm pretty spread out for an ole gal set in her ways

Very interesting question. Off the top of my head, if it were mine to program, I would probably go with something like this:

Mon. through Fri. - "Deep Tracks" style classic rock - album tracks and rare/previously unreleased tracks from late 60s through early 80s rock groups. No "Stairway", no "Free Bird".

Saturday - More Deep Tracks until 6:00 PM or so, then dance oriented tracks - everything from disco to 80s new wave to techno.

Sunday - Modern praise & worship until noon, then Christian alternative until 8:00 PM. From 8:00 until midnight - jazz (Miles, Coltrane, Armstrong - not Kenny G.).

This is lots of fun to think about. Thanks for the thread!

Mark: I got a playlist on Myspace that was similar to your Mon-Friday, but SAT & SUN
would have to be old time R&R

Sounds good. I've always been partial to stations who mixed it up a little on the weekends. Just keep rockin'.

I would play Opera/Classical music, Gothic Heavy Metal, Symphonic Metal, Jazz, Power Metal, Clean Black Metal and Darkwave.

I would play mostly folk and ambient through the fall and winter, with some days being devoted to full album plays with a bio on the artist and album, repeated throughout the day with multiple albums.

Then in the more spring and summer months I would devote the station to independent rock groups, and post-rock.

Overall there'd be seasonal benefits, but not altogether devoted to those, but with some overlapping. Just more influenced during the different seasons.

What on Earth is 'Post-Rock'?

 

[Mortuary]

i'd play Metal 24/7 all kinds of Metal

1. Death Metal

2. Power Metal

3. Speed Meta

4. Grindcore

5. White Metal

6. Doom Metal

Haha, it's basically instrumental, but with rock instrumentation. Other characteristics kind of define it as well, but that's the gist.

No question about it I would play Old Time Radio 24 hrs a day.
