Actually I do need to backtrack on the "today's artists suck" comment.
I was mostly referring to anyone that your teenage daughter has heard of.
Had to replace the battery on my DD 2 years ago.
Went to reprogram the radio presets and stumbled across these guys,
KXT 91.7.
Listener supported, really eclectic mix of stuff. Tons of local artists that are really good but no one has heard of, upcoming/breaking bands and of course the standards. They even play Zappa.
It is the only station preset on both my and the wifes DD's.
Neither of us have changed the station in 2 years.
Have found a ton of really good new artists that unfortunately will never get as big as Beiber.
Check out the diversity of the playlist.
