Denver Radio Songs That Make You Cringe

[Wildstyle K]

Even the best Denver radio stations have those pesky songs; The ones that stick around month after month after month, even though you can't conceive any purpose they can possibly serve for that particular station. This isn't meant to flame any station specifically, but is just a fun way to vent about the songs that truly make us cringe. This is all my uneducated opinion. I'm sure PDs can simply rebut with callout numbers, but like I said...all in fun.

Here's what we're NOT talking about:

(a) Currents or recent (say, a year old or less) recurrents.
(b) Songs that have justified spots on a station's playlist, but make you cringe because you simply have a personal dislike for them.

Here's what we ARE talking about:

(a) Songs that have stuck around ENTIRELY too long and have earned a prolonged rest period, or at least should move into a less prominent category.
(b) Songs that stick out like a sore thumb on a respective station (not a hit, doesn't fit the station's overall sound, etc.)
(c) Overplayed "classic" songs.

Whenever I turn on Kool 105, if they aren't playing a Fleetwood Mac song, either the next song or the one after it will be a Fleetwood Mac song. It's getting almost as bad with Donna Summer. The old KIMN on 950 used to be the same way with Fleetwood Mac, so maybe Kool is just trying to carry on their tradition. Fleetwood Mac is also overrepresented on KOSI, so maybe it's just a Denver market thing.

Don't get me wrong...I don't dislike either artist completely, but they each have some songs I never liked. In any event, good or bad, they just play way too much of both artists while totally neglecting many other very worthy artists.
