The new Avri Lavine

Ha, The classic rock stations around here are starting to play U2! How does THAT make you feel?

 

Worse yet Guns and Roses are showing up on classic rock, ugh.

 

Yeah, I remember all those similar photos where Joy Division's Ian Curtis struk the same pose, hands thrown up in the air like something out of an Up With People concert.

 

How is Zeppelin being "Old stuff" make you feel old? Zepp has been "old stuff" since 1990. You shouldve felt old then and REALLY old now ... ok that doesnt help.

 

u2 and guns n roses have been on classic rock stations for several years now... there's nothing new there (i can recall them being played on classic rock in the mid 90's)

led zeppelin has been on there since probably the late 80's

i'm beginning to hear nirvana and pearl jam on classic rock stations now

 

I don't see what the big deal is. She's a 16 year old Canadian - teenagers and Canadians have terrible taste in music!

The standard rule applies - if you don't like an artist or a band, you're probably not the target audience. The industry has always packaged pop artists as being more "authentic" than they actually are, and stupid teenagers have always bought the not-that-authentic authentic artists, then eventually acquired some taste.

BTW, Avril has a nice pictorial in Nylon magazine... which is weird because that's the kind of stuff she bitches about on her songs, isn't it?

 

You take that back!

That hasn't reached the south yet. I'm sure that if your average "classic rock" radio station listener down here started hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit coming on right after free bird we would have ourselves a rash of drive by tractor shootings.

 

they are over a decade old... what do you want them on?

new rock stations?

 

sadly, rock 103 out of Columbus, GA does exactly that.....on a daily basis.

 

That's why I don't listen to the radio or watch MTV. Thank goodness for the internet.

 

I'm pretty sure I've heard early Pearl Jam (stuff off of Ten) on Rock 99 (classic rock) in Birmingham. Hate to bust your bubble

I know this contradicts my previous post, but every now and then I have to drive my wife's car, which only has a radio.

 

Amen brother. I'm trying to get my kids (13 and 16) to listen to internet radio or at least college radio in order to hear music they haven't heard before. So far so good.
