94.7 First Song Prediction Thread

If it's alternative or rock probably should be All Apologies by Nirvana.
If it's country probably should be Allen Jackson "She's Gone Country"
 
If it's Country you would want to go with something newer and more female friendly than Alan Jackson. You might also want to go for the teenage girls too....I'm thinking something like "All Your Life" by The Band Perry. It would be a nice gesture to the ultra loyal Country Music Fans in NY/NJ and CT. If ALternative how about "Panic Switch" by Silversun Pickups?
 
I don't get how Silversun Pickups song would work for an intro song or even The Band Perry for an introduction to the station especically for country when it hasn't been there in almost 12 years. They would need something with familiarity.
 
You aren't entirely appealing to those who listened 12 years ago. This is going to be fresh, new, and I wouldn't be surprised if they play the Pop versions of all these groups. I am all for Alan Jackson, but I would think the older artists will be worked in over time. This will be a soccer mom country station. I'd bet anything on it. As for "Panic Switch"? Why not? Those who miss WRXP and K Rock would get it. The panic switch was thrown, we better cater to this loyal listener group. It can't be what it was....both formats have to be done in a modern way with little flashback to times gone by.
 
This is kind of a silly thread since we really don't know what the format will be. What if it's CBS Sports Network? Then there won't be a first song.

I hope it ISN'T CBS sports... we already have two sports stations in English and one in Spanish. Even though Cumulus has part of it, I can't see CBS wanting to cannibalize itself in any way by putting another FM on against the Fan.

The fact that they have spent 2.5 days tweaking audio settings using PLJ for music tells you it's not going to be a spoken word format...
 
If it were going to be Spoken Word I'd think they would have shadowcasted WABC. I'm with you Average Joe....music of some sort it will be. And I think it's safe to say either Country or Alternative.
 
Country should begin with "Here for the Party" by Gretchen Wilson!

But I would love to hear REM - Losing my Religion as the first song.

Actually, with REM as first song it could go either way; they've charted on both the Country and Modern Rock charts.
 
If it is new Alternative like the last incarnation of RXP then REM might be too old. They were very heavy on songs on the current alternative charts, mixed in with hits from the last few years.
 
Good point - though it'd really be songs two through thirteen that hour that would really define the station.

So if song two is Song 2 (by Blur), we'll know where they're headed.

(Me? At this point I'd go with "Are You Receiving Me?" by XTC...)
