THis week's event was obviously the 4th of July, so I'll go into more detail. This week's event is the celebrations put together by the six radio stations I have programmed into my car radio (only 5 I consistently listen to.) for the 4th of July.
First up, 92.9 Dave FM "rock without rules". Their celebration consisted of playing 4 sets by bands and may come as no surprise to learn that the slight majority of these song sets were made and performed by the Dave Matthews band whom the station was named for.
Second would be Project 96.1 (basically the modern hard rock station of atlanta). For their celebration they only played songs by american bands.
Third, 97.1 The River "atlanta's classic hits station". They celebrated by decreasing their song list from repeating 80 songs in a random order to repeating about 30 songs in a random order.
The Wolf has Spoken.
fourth, B 98.5 (A soft rock station that I only listen to if stations 1,23 and 5 on my list don't have any good music on). Celebrated by bringing back classic songs that don't get played anymore.
five and my personal favorite, Rock 100.5 Atlanta's rock station. They didn't do have any specific radio theme going on but they did hold a big party at a sports grill and held a contest giving away more than just money or concert tickets.
6th, 94.1 today's hits AKA my least favorite of these stations. They did it by bringing back the classic hits of course most of their classics were from the year 1995 or newer so I have to doubt how "classic" they can be called.
I can't believe 103.1 isn't among these. You can listen to what you want to, but still...
I'm pretty sure they don't have a 103.1 here and if they do it's a country station. I don't listen to country.
Well, I don't know about wherever you are, but where I am, 103.1 is an all metal station that starts off EVERY HOUR with a song by Metallica. It is the most kick ass radio station ever.

strike wolf wrote:I think I've figured it out. basically retro rock is any hard rock song (including metal) from the 80s-90s.
that's what I'm thinking. my cable has these radio stations, called Music Choice, and they have classic rock and retro rock. Classic rock usually is Led Zep or Clapton or Pink Floyd. But retro rock can be anything from Tool to Foo Fighters to Great White So, obviously less of a connection there.
Right, that's what I have. classic rock when I first tuned in to the station I thought it was gonna be just the same small amount of bands over and over again because it seemed like every otehr song was either Led Zep, Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac or The Beatles. Luckily though it turned out to have a bit of a better variety. I just like listening to the stations when I play pool.
Yeah, i actually really like the stations. for me, all the rock stations are nicely put together, so i just scroll from Classic Rock to Classic Alternative. Led Zep to Beastie Boys if I feel so inclined.
Yeah and the 70s 80s and 90s station while there's a lot of junk mixed in will have some really good music too. We mainly just end up paused on Classic rock nad fast forward through songs we don't like.
I just play CD's the majority of the time.

Yeah I don't much about them off the radio/the classic rock music choice station but everything I've heard i've liked. I think they really have an unique sound

Retro music
Retro, during the 1980s, referred to a new genre of music, particularly dance music, popular in the U.S. at the time and originally termed New Wave music which was in part an outgrowth of the Punk rock genre of the late 1970s and early '80s and Psychedelic genre of the late 1960s and 70's. Many of the songs and albums termed retro at the time came about during great advancement in the development of generating music electronically (that is, with computers and electronic equipment - or Electronic music - rather than with either traditional or electromechanical instruments) and the popularization of this type of music in the mainstream. Ideas as to how broad and inclusive the Retro category of music is vary; nonetheless, not all music - not even all dance music - from the decades of the 1980s were considered Retro music. Now, in fact, retro music is only that of which came out of the retro era.[citation needed] This psychedelic style of music is still widely listened to today.
Classic rock was originally conceived as a radio station programming format which evolved from the album oriented rock (AOR) format in the early-1980s. In the United States, this rock music format now features a large playlist of songs ranging from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, with some stations including a limited number of current releases.[1]
The classic rock stations recreate the sound of Album Oriented Rock (AOR) stations of the 60s-90s (although usually with a much more limited playlist) and appeal mainly to adults, rather than teenagers.[1] Some classic-rock stations also play a limited number of current releases which are stylistically consistent with the station's sound, such as fitting the vibe of the other rock music.[1]

"[edit] Origins

The origins of the classic rock radio format can be traced back to The Beatles' groundbreaking album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which would forever change several courses of the rock and roll format, especially with the slow rise of FM broadcasting even though a majority of people were still listening to AM radio. Since Sgt. Pepper did not spawn any singles, both AM and FM stations began to play select tracks from the album in an attempt to retain listeners. Soon both stations and artists realized that album cuts rather than Top 40-oriented singles could be a major source of radio airplay and artist visibility.[citation needed]
Taken to the furthest level, this created what would be called progressive rock radio in the late 1960s and 1970s. This format was associated with elements of freeform radio, where disc jockeys controlled what was played. A more commercially-oriented variant called album-oriented rock (AOR), or "album rock", emerged in the mid- and late 1970s. This format concentrated on album cuts as well, but on a more structured, playlist-oriented basis.
AOR would continue to be popular in the 1970s and early 1980s, but by the end of the 1980s, as "albums" had been supplanted by compact discs and as station playlists largely stopped keeping up with developing musical trends (including New Wave music), "album rock" evolved into "classic rock radio" on many of these FM radio stations.
Classic rock radio is similar to oldies radio in that the format is based upon music of the past, hence the playlist and artists featured are relatively stable in comparison to Top 40 or other contemporary formats which are based primarily on current releases. However, various bands and songs will come in and out of style on classic rock radio, regional favorites may be featured in a particular market, and newer recordings by the format's core performers will occasionally be showcased. Additionally, in the process of jockeying for position and listener share in competitive markets, stations will often add songs and artists only marginally associated with the classic rock radio era, and some stations combine the classic rock radio format with other formats, including modern rock in an attempt to increase popularity. The hybrid of classic rock and modern rock radio is also referred to as active rock.[citation needed]
[edit] Key artists and albums
This article may contain original research or unverified claims. Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (April 2009)
The core albums, artists, and songs most often represented in classic rock radio represent a subset of the albums and artists that were actually popular between the mid sixties into the early eighties. On radio, the most enduring classic rock songs and artists have proven to appeal to new generations of listeners as well as older listeners who knew the music when it originally appeared.
Classic rock formats typically include selections from British hard rock and progressive rock bands, American 1970s rock bands and solo artists, and some material from late-1960s rock acts. In many areas, southern rock acts form a significant subset of classic rock playlists as well.
Some classic rock playlists also include some of the hard-rock and heavy metal bands of the 1980s and some amount of new wave selections."

Good luck with that.
I wish that I could still say that I was spent.
DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!!
Damn you all to hell could be your alternate catchphrase. I know I said I was going but I stumbled across something on youtube...
I must say that I'm giving "Damn! No catchphrase." a chance, but I'm just not feeling it.
Not sure if DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!![/quote] would be any better.

Lol, I actually have the game that MJ sprite is from. The objective is to save children. No joke.
Really? wow. I didn't know MJ had his own game or was a part of a video game anyways. He'd make a funny addition to just about any video game though. I would actually like to see a super smash brothers spoof with him.
I was walking home from nowhere, one day last week tonight,
when I ran to a woman in black who stood before me, sitting there dressed in white.
He said no words, it spoke no sounds; all they could do was talk;
so I slowly ran away from her as fast as I could walk.

It's cool to see the Dropkick Murphys as your second favorite band. I liked R.E.M.'s last album
but of course the older stuff is better. I've been a fan for a long time. I saw them at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta in 1987.

So, obviously less of a connection there.
