Artists on the Radio

[MochaD]

Who are some artists that you simply can't stand? Or particular songs you HATE...For example, you're in your ride, the artist or song comes on and you immediately HAVE to change the dial?

My "can't stand to listen to" list includes:

• Fat Joe
  
• Keisha Cole
  
• Mariah Carey

I do not know their names:

Superman that>>>
Put you to bed>>>
I'm so hood

[QUIET As Kept]

I think my list of who I WON'T change the station on is easier to type

[Search1906]

Soulja Boy, T-Pain, Just about all of that ring tone rap crap.

[FULLOFME]

what?? I like T-Pain LOL

If I hear Kells on one more remix I am going to literally scream...

[Search1906]

I liked Tpain the first few times but he is on everyones ish doing the same stuff. How many songs can you snap your fingers in or buy peoples dranks? LOL

I am with you on Kells though. SHould he be in someone's jailed getting violated. LOL

I typically do the morning shows, but the radio in general would make anyone hate dislike a song. Every station run a lot of songs into the ground. Some songs get entirely too much airplay and I don't know about you but it instantly makes me hate dislike a song quick!! Thank GOD for Ipod's and CD's.

What in the hayle is music on the radio?

<<listens to talk radio or personal cd's

[FULLOFME]

I have sattelite radio with the variety of stations, I get a chance to hear pretty good music on the radio...I am not a loyal to certain artists type person so I rarely buy CDs but if it is a good song, I'll listen regardless who sings it...

[Search1906]

Ditto to what Mocha and VP said. If it weren't for sports talk, Cd's and my ipod I would go crazy!!!!

Full do you have XM or Serius?

I think the R&B of today just plain SUX and I HATE IT!!!!!!! People say it's because I'm getting older, but that's not it. The music has changed. For example, I made a post about Tracie Spencer a few days ago. She was only 12 when she came out, and made another album when she was 14--but her music was EXCELLENT. It STILL stands the test of time. The songs were well-written, the music was pretty and well-arranged, and the videos looked like art.

Nowadays, all three of those things--lyrics, music and videos--are HORRIBLE. The music just seems simple and repetitive, the lyrics are dumb, and the videos are anywhere from mediocre to disgraceful.

Meanwhile, the few artists that DO come out don't get any play. For example, anyone remember Rhiann Benson? She was good, and she had ONE song, and then she disappeared. I had actually forgotten about her until I heard her song on the radio last month. Grenique? Jaguar Wright? Donnie? Dwelle?

[MochaD]

<---Never heard of Rhiann Benson
<---Never heard of Grenique
<---Taking notes

Got anymore known unknowns? I really can appreciate good R&B. And I agree, me, this cashier and some lady in line were speaking on a lot of good artist that don't get the airplay they deserve and have EXCELLENT CD's (more than 3 great tracks on their album) like Jill Scott, Eric Roberson, Ledisi, Amel Lareaux, etc. The "Neo Soulers." Just hurts my lil' heart but I commend them for not conforming to "industry standards" and staying true to the art and individualism they possess.

[FULLOFME]

Sirius...I heard they merged though...

[Search1906]

Yeah they did I thought of that after I posted. LOL

[FULLOFME]

LOL...my payment goes to sirius...but you know what, everytime I call to cancel it, they give me 2 months free so I have been paying 1 month then getting 2 months free...

[Search1906]

Now that is how you pimp them.

*High jack*

My dad called me at work and told me he was just approved to get his student loans forgiven as part of a hardship program. LOL He is retired and hardly hardshipped but he worked the system to the tune of them writing off 48K in student loans. LMAO :smh:

[Vudu_Prince]

My cd collection is diverse.

<<Whe kids are in car we listen to either Teddy's greatest hits cause my daughter likes that, son is an avid Gap Band fan. His favorite song is Ooops up side the head and early in the morning. He even has the giggle riff down. if you listen to the gap band then you know what i mean

Rap: I have Killah Priest, Dead Prez 8Ball and MJG and a surprisingly good Jim Jones cd

Swap them out about every 2 weeks

Mocha D, if I think of anymore, I'll post them. They just randomly pop into my head sometimes, or I'll hear their song and think, "Whatever happened to HER/HIM? (s)he had that one song that was really good, and I never saw them again".

[MochaD]

I know right, the seemingly one hit wonders...*shakes head* they had such talent.

[princeprimo]

It's the worst time ever for music...satellite radio and cd's/ipod are the only way to avoid hearing that ringtone crap they play on the radio.

[strangebuttru]

<, can't stand crank the batman, anything with Omarion.. n Chris Brown is working on my last nerve!!

[Sapphire]

LOL. Where'd you pull Shaggy's name from Troof?!

[princeprimo]

LOL@Truth! I agree...every other song sounds like every other song. Who's out there that'll inspire young kids comin' up?
