The radio blows. Its all I have in my car. The classic rock station doesn't play enogh Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Led Zeppelin. It plays too much Pink Floyd (which I sorta like but am gettin real sick of), and the doors. I can't stand the doors. They should be called the Same Song band cause all their songs sound the same. And the modern rock station plays to much shit like Mettalica, Green Day, Linkin Park, etc., and not enough Sublime, and DMD, and real punk rock. It sucks. Sometimes I want to take my radio and throw it at the ground and bust it the fuck up.
I know what you're sayin' dude. It's like they play the same songs all the time. There's more than 1 or 2 songs on an album, but that's all they play. Btw, I had a pirate station going once. Pirate radio is the best.
You could get a CD player, or XM. XM is pretty awesome, I've been thinking about getting it. Sit around and listen to BBC and say what I heard like it's my opinion.
Well, it only got out to about 1 km. I used a transmitter from Best Buy. Then I hooked it up to a 1 watt amplifier. Then I put up a pvc pipe dipole aerial on the roof conected to the amp with coaxial cable.
I got XM for x-mas, I usually just listen to the Comedy channel. I have sirius + XM for free online as well. Very nice.
The radio has been sucking for a good while now, my friend. I feel your pain, though. CDs and MP3s are the way to go. At least for me.
For free online radio, usually you can get a 3-day pass. Otherwise, you have to set up an account and give them the SID number from the Sat-Radio that you own. Works out nicely~
