I was listening to pink fylod the other day and my brother says, "Don't you ever listen to anything else!" It occured to me that I've been listening to the same music since highschool. I'm 24 by the way. I basiclly listen to anything that is played on the radio. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Jimi Hendrix this stuff gets tons of air play. But my brother listens to stuff like The Bens, plus minus, the raveonettes and Tom Waits. None of these bands get any airplay other than maybe college radio.

My question to you all is: What do you listen to that gets NO air play in America? Do you listen old time Jazz or French puck band or Christian Rock or Reggae? My diseased brain wants to know.

Well my favorite genre of music is Metal (from all over the world, though most of it is European and American), but I also very much like Rap/Hip-hop, Jazz, Rock, and a bit of everything else.

I listen to Industrial, J-Rock/Pop, and pre-1994 alternative (a lot of post-punk and Goth rock, mainly) most of the time, so trying to find a radio station is quite tough. The Industrial any typical station might play is Nine Inch Nails or Stabbing Westward occasionally, if it's alternative music from before 1994, one or two might pop through every once in a while on an alt. rock station's playlist, and I don't know any station that plays Japanese music. Aside from the J-Rock/Pop, one of the stations in my area has an old-school alternative program on Sunday nights that really got me into that section of music, but I've got a lot of stuff they've never even played, so it's about 50/50.

Thank goodness for previews that show the latest posts

Here's some bands that I listen to:
Sisters Of Mercy
Skinny Puppy
All About Eve
Econoline Crush
Depeche Mode (more than just the three or four songs they sometimes play on 80s radio)
New Order (same here)
The Cure (ditto)
The Clash (again, ditto)
The Cruxshadows
Vast
X-Japan
Lacuna Coil
Celldweller
Klank
Circle Of Dust
Concrete Blonde
Comsat Angels
E Nomine
Front 242
Gackt
KMFDM
Rammstein
Orgy
Peter Murphy
Powerman 5000
Skillet
Social Distortion
The Replacements
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Stabbing Westward (more than just 'Save Yourself')
The Cult
The Mission UK
The Pixies
The Smithereens
They Might Be Giants
Throbbing Gristle
VNV Nation

For some individual songs, check out some of the playlists for each of those shows on the website for the radio station I was talking about. Here's the link:

The lunch program is also an old-school alternative show. It's on right now.

I mentioned that because they have a streaming audio broadcast over the internet.

Well...

I could even just start with King Crimson. I think there's only a couple of friendly stations in America that have programs that feature their music. Other than that... it's pretty obvious. Most of their material is well over 6 minutes a piece, to top it - it's instrumental, and just not 'normal' as far as regular FM material goes.

Plus, there's good reasons to assume music corporations hate Robert Fripp, their founding member.
