@OldiesFan55
If you'll excuse the lazy pun, since I'm just out of signal range of a lot of WB/Scranton radio, I am a bit fuzzy on the format.
Despite being a few Nielsen books older than the oldest existing marketing demo tolerated, I found a greater portion of the 90's pop music offered to be more 'valid', if that's the word, in sonics than the video-heavy 80's stuff had been (I want to hear music, not have to see it).
Personal tastes, yeah; certainly, I realize. But when I was observed by some younger radio-engineering buddies enjoying some of what they were playing for sound-check purposes, they said, 'So you like grunge, eh?'. And being a former music director (four different species of music) I was back-and-forth with the music director of WJSE Atlantic City for a while, which I caught on their stream playing the Screaming Trees, Smashing Pumpkins, Godsmack, et al.
For reasons too numerous to outline here, myself and a few others -- older ones -- got into the so-labelled 'heavy metal' of the late 60's. Acts like Frantic, Joy (Michael BOLTON's first group!), MC5, Mountain, et al could tear off a good, nasty riff frequently enough to catch a curious male ear amid all of their 'where-are-the-chicks/we're-a-rock-band!!' angst.
So I have to ask if Fuzz is of the same genus as heavy metal/grunge/modern rock/whatever the pigeonhole ; if I should bother adjusting my old ears to see if Fuzz 'does it' for me.
For decades now, from ANY music station, one of every four songs that 'works' has been my tolerance to stay tuned to it. Country-western, jazz, Top 40, Standards, Oldies, Classical, Beautiful Music: It's all hooks.
Can you describe what Fuzz does?
 
I wonder if they'll bring FuzzFest back? Was a nice, relatively inexpensive way to see some new rock groups before they take off.
 
I'm personally more singer songwriter alternative, older 80's material like the Smiths and Jesus and Mary Chain. What started from grunge and evolved into the 90's in my opinion is not alternative. I'll give it a listen . If they need djs I'm available by November.
