Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???
I'm not a fan of "Wasting My Time" by Default, but I don't dislike it as much as the vast majority of singles released by Nickelback.
I disagree big time with you, 48125, regarding "Like a Stone" by Audioslave. Although not one of my favorites, I think that is a quality song.

WRIF also needs to play something from Aerosmith other than "Sweet Emotion" (which they play 1,000 times a week seemingly, including right now), "Mama Kin" or "Dream On." Might not be as annoying if the recording quality were better. There's not a remastered version of that song?

They still play plenty of 1987-1993 Aerosmith. It isn't uncommon to hear Dude or Livin' on the Edge.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 7:22 amWRIF also needs to play something from Aerosmith other than "Sweet Emotion" (which they play 1,000 times a week seemingly, including right now), "Mama Kin" or "Dream On."

Sweet Emotion is a very tired song, IMO. Let CSX play it.

We can agree on that.

Trapt (particularly their frontman) later became known as internet trolls on social media, using their band profiles to spread right-wing political posts and eventually got banned from all mainstream social media in 2020 because of how extreme they were. Their most recent album only sold 600 copies!
Default's not a bad band. Their song "Deny" was on the NHL 2003 soundtrack, so I heard it all the time there.
"Like a Stone" is actually a good song IMO and Chris Cornell's vocals are great.

Deny is the one song by Default that I enjoy. Completely agree regarding "Like a Stone."

He's been quite successful in Canada, though his attempts to break into the U.S. market have flopped. I imagine you hear him a lot on CFCO and other Canadian country stations. Naturally, he's produced by Joey Moi.

Okay maybe like a stone is OK but the worst is anything by puddle of mudd. thats is the literal ass of early 2000s "rock"

Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong to take on anyone. I know that you are wrong, and this is NOT where you belong.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Wed Sep 07, 2022 9:18 pmTaking My Life Away was a good song.ChrisWL1980 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 07, 2022 6:18 pmI heard "Rockstar" on WRIF a while back.
Their producer (Joey Moi) went on to work with marginally "country" artists like Florida-Georgia Line and Morgan Wallen. Given that fact, I'm shocked Nickelback hasn't done a so-called "country" album yet. In that sense, Nickelback's success is partly to blame for the bro-country boom, another reason to despise them.
Remember Default, another Chad Kroeger protege? Their lead singer (Dallas Smith) became a bro-country artist under Joey Moi and has had quite a bit of success in Canada, albeit none in the U.S.
See, that's the bitch of being such a music need. Aside from Bob Seger, Foreigner and maybe one or two other bands, I can pick out at least ONE song that I like or can tolerate. The vast majority of mainstream rock around that time was terrible. Small Cock Rock. Shit like Trapt.
Their remake of Toto's Africa blows me away each time. Other than that, they are okay.
Ironically, I feel that way about My Chemical Romance.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 10:40 pmSuddenly, a lot of that generic sounding rock doesn't quite bother me as much. I think it has to do mostly with nostalgia. But I do expect more 00s gold selections here in the next few years, at a minimum in teriary. A7X, Coheed & Cambria, that kind of stuff.
And with any luck, a lot of the 80s butt rock will start getting put back on the shelf. Or in the drawer, I should say.
That song forces me to change the station every time. Seemed like they always played that at fast food restaurants around 2000 all the time.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 7:22 amWRIF also needs to play something from Aerosmith other than "Sweet Emotion" (which they play 1,000 times a week seemingly, including right now), "Mama Kin" or "Dream On."

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: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???
Comedian Josh Potter had a podcast on the Your Mom's House Network. He worked at a radio station in Buffalo and riffs about his experience with Trapt and remembering Buffalo "radio legend" John Otto. I think a lot of you would enjoy these segments.
https://youtu.be/OApDT5KsK7o
John Otto is at 10:20-14:45 . John Otto disses Blink-182 and Limp Bizkit. Very politically incorrect soundbites, so be warned.
Trapt 14:47-24:42 fights with Josh.
Thom Brennaman is also discussed from 24:42-27:50

Agreed. I know a lot of people hate Staind, but it takes me back to working parks and recreation in the summer of 2001 right before 9/11.stopnswop2 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 11:41 pmIt's not like a masterpiece, but I have so much nostalgia for itMWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 6:39 amI'm not a fan of "Wasting My Time" by Default, but I don't dislike it as much as the vast majority of singles released by Nickelback.

Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???
It's the exact same nostalgia people have behind Sugar Ray and Smash Mouth. You couldn't escape them back in the late 90's and early 2000's. They were everywhere, in movies, shows and commercials.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 12:24 amAgreed.
