The songs that Fresh makes fun of Lite for playing (even though they don't)

Ken said:
I think Fresh sounds good. They sound like a Hot AC but right in the middle of Hot AC and AC. Also I do agree that Fresh 102.7 should just play music and not worry about saying Lite plays this song while we play "Today's Soft Music". I will say Fresh does play more new AC songs then Lite. Sure Lite does play a fair amount of new AC like Daughter, Fray, Nickelback, etc. Lite plays some 70s songs and others you wouldn't want to hear after a Daughter song. For the new year Fresh should drop the shots at Lite saying Lite plays this old song thats way to lite. Should Fresh stop making shots at Lite no. Fresh needs to say during this mornings drive we played 102 mins of music while over on Lite they only played 85 mins of music. Its kind of like when you got two CHR in the same market. One will say Kiss speeds up their music so they can play more music while at B 92 we play the song at its normal speed. I think this is a better way to take shots at the station Fresh is competing with. But they couldn't use that one as AC's don't speed their music up.

Ok, I'm going to reiterate as to why Stale 102.7 is predictable.... I'm driving home from work the other night and what do I hear on 102.7? Daughty- yet again!!!! They've beaten to death anything he plays.. now we've got a stale carcass of a song that needs to be yanked. Whats more, you're not going to hear Fresh music on that station. Today's soft music? Really? So, where's Annie Lennox, Des'Ree, Seal ( and I don't mean Kiss From A Rose), Simply Red, etc...?? Again, do we need the already beaten and should've been vaulted Edwin McCain's "I'll Be", played another gazillion times?

Is it just me, or are those commercials really nauseating and make people pissed off? God, I'd like to throw my tv at her.

Just my ranting, venting thoughts.....

In Fresh's defense, I've heard Annie Lennox's "No More," Des'ree's "You Gotta Be," Seal's "Cry" and "Crazy," and, Simply Red's, "Holding Back the Years" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now." I especially remember hearing Simply Red right after Fresh's debut, although I am not certain that those two songs are still in the playlist. But, the point is that these songs have been played on the station.
 
But what about the new releases from all of those artists? That would be Today's Fresh Music. Seal has a great sounding album being played on AAA right now.

If they wanted to actually give us Fresh music.. they'd play the new Annie Lennox single from her album Songs Of Mass Destruction... They'd play Seal's 'Prayer for the Dying' and his new single 'Amazing'.. They'd play 'Sunrise' from Simply Red. I'm hoping one day that people will start thinking out of that proverbial box. Someone needs to open a window over at CBS and get some real 'fresh' air in there.....
