They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: Holy crap, 95.5...
I'm not that much older than both of you (41), so that puts me in my late teens-very early 20s when I started to disengage from CHR. By that time, my interest in oldies was growing beyond what WOMC had to offer and Grand Rapids' WODJ became one of my favorite stations while I was going to college out there. Then I discovered CFCO and Cincy's WSAI. Participating in extracurricular music activities in high school (i.e. musicals) also gave me an appreciation for the Great American Songbook, so I started seeking out stations that played that type of music as well (like CKWW, WAAM, or Majic 810 in Grand Rapids).MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Sat Dec 25, 2021 11:40 pmPretty sure the last for me was Paramore, so when ever that was….

What's funny is that I wanted a true CHR station in Detroit more than anything during the mid-'90s, during the time when you could get something approximating it by combining the playlists of 95.5, 96.3 and to an extent WJLB. I used to enjoy DXing WTWR, WVKS and WWCK (on AM, which came in better than FM) from my home in the heart of Macomb County. When my wish for a true CHR in Detroit finally came true, I had moved to southern Washtenaw County where Kiss and Tower came in like locals, and along with the changes in the music, it just didn't seem that special anymore.

What station plays that LMFAO song with the Korean guy in a suit dancing all over the place?

This isn't anything new.
It was particularly bad around 2010. I remember they had Mike Posner almost sounding like a chipmunk on Cooler Than Me.
Amp Radio did it too, but not as bad

I gave up on CHR years ago. Nothing has sounded remotely good over there in years.

Then again, I think I'm a dying breed, since I have been a staunch 107one listener for a while. AAA never does that well in my age group, except in very rare circumstances. Then again, that's the only format with new music that I can stomach most of the time.

Re: Holy crap, 95.5...
Sometimes 107.1 gets a little "too hip for the room" and "enjoys smelling their own farts" for me. But they have had some pretty good gold stuff for at least the last month. So yeah, I've found myself listening a little more.
They have been playing that new Foo Fighters track, and it got me to thinking, the Foos sure cover a lit of ground:
AAA
Active Rock
Alternative Rock
Hot AC
Classic Rock
That's not too bad, covering 5 different FM formats, especially when they have been around nearly 30 years!
