Atlanta = Worst radio stations on the planet....

[sweetbrooklyn]

im so with you on this one! horrible! all of them.

There is a cool station in Valdosta that really ROCKS. (Rock 108)
In such a large city, Why cant you get a local station in Atlanta that is as good as Rock 108 out of Valdosta????
Project 96.1 is one of the few stations that I can tolerate in Atlanta.

I listen to and enjoy all types of music. I'm actually quite pleased with Atlanta radio, as I am exposed to a lot of different genres (especially on the "left" side of the dial). Aside from country or gospel, if you play it, I dig it. I will agree with many of you, especially regarding today's commercial urban stations, in that they do play the same songs until you want to pull your ears off. Fortunately for me, I listen to so much other stuff, that I don't hear the repeats as often. I have ALL of these stations preset in my stereos:

88.5 - GA State (Absolute Favorite)
89.3 - Community Radio
90.1 - Opera/Classical
91.1 - GA Tech
91.9 - Clark Atlanta University
92.9 - Dave FM (Favorite)
94.1 - Star 94
95.5 - The Beat
96.1 - Project 96 (Favorite)
97.5 - Old school
98.5 - Top 40
99.7 - Old Q100
100.5 - New Q100
103.3 - Urban
104.1 - Urban
105.3 - Viva latino
107.5 - Easy listening
107.9 - Urban
97.9 - Old 99x (Welcome back!!!)
AM 640 - Talk
AM 680 - Sports
AM 750 - Talk

Besides the seemingly limited rotation on commercial urban, my only other complaint here is that I'd like more Salsa/Latin Jazz/Afro-Cuban and Deep House/Acid Jazz/Nu-soul on the radio. Since 91.9 killed their Saturday line-up maybe 3 yrs ago there's a big void of these two types of sound now. Whenever I'm in the mode to hear this, I'll just find an Internet station and plug the laptop into the my house system. So it's all good.

Egrant, thanks for that list.

I'm new to the area, but I totally agree with you about 88.5. Best station that I've found so far . . .

Mainstream music has been so disappointing and trite for years. You get the occasional one hit from an artist that is catchy and you kinda enjoy it, but try to listen to almost ANY artist's whole album and you just end up feeling embarrassed for them. The music industry thrives on those one hits. Call me crazy, but if I'm going to call you a musician, you need to be able to put together a whole set for me!

I said this in another thread, but I love AOL radio. You get every genre and subgenre with minimal interruption. Even if you like the mainstream stuff!

I have to make just one correction to your list. 107.5 and 97.5 are the same station on two different locations on the dial. Both ole school R&B with some of today's R&B mixed in. My station of choice.

I like sports talk but I think that Brandon Adams and Chuck Oliver are bad personalities. Brandon Adams from 790 always goes into some long drawn out tirade and Chuck from 680 just sucks but they both have an obnoxious arrogance about themselves. They just have a bad on-air broadcasting style because they take themselves too serious. I just wish that Jeff Woolverton can one day say, "Brandon! Shut the uckf up! You don't know what you're talking about."

You missed the one playing real music, WKHX-101.5, all those others are elevator music.
