We have a classic rock station{that just plays the same shit over and over again}and alternative rock[Dave MAtthews,Beck,Etc}

Pretty much like us. We have an alternative rock station that is really more or less, a classic rock station that will play Nirvana or Queens of the Stone Age every once in awhile.

I would love a station where the DJ has full control over what is played. If he/she has it, it gets played. And requests are welcomed! You know, how rock stations USED to be. I remember calling up the local rock station and requesting songs all the time. It would take them awhile, but eventually, they would get the song on the radio, and it was always fun to listen to my favorite stuff. Last time I tried to request a song, they basically said if it's not in their playlist, they can't play it, but to get in touch with the main company and request it from them.

I'm really surprised radio hasn't died out completely.
