I just heard Prince "Let's Go Crazy." Where is FNX going right now?

Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" is a rock song. WFNX has been adding older rock songs (the Who, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones); playing Prince isn't a stretch.

I recall WBCN played "When Doves Cry" a lot when "Purple Rain" was released; Prince was hard to ignore in the summer of 1984. I think they also played Madonna's "Into the Groove".

I can top this one. The all new WMRQ 104.1 (alt rock station) here in Hartford has Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley in its regular rotation, but it's a good sounding non-corporate owned station. Check them out http://www.radio1041.fm/

Bob Marley has been a part of the alt format for a couple of decades. Not a shocker.

FNX has played Prince since it's inception in 1983. This is not a bad or out of the ordinary thing for them. If you want all jock rock then I would try WAAF.

Let's go Crazy IS a GREAT tune (Best heard in its 12 inch version) but folks should also check out the flip side. Erotic city

BCN played Madonna?!? Even with heavy metal WCOZ (now gangbanger rap WJMN) out of the way I find that to be a stretch! If Hitradio 103 wasn't playing any Madonna song (unless she reached #1), then why would BCN play her? I knew enough to listen to Kiss (or WILD up to this point) for Madonna, and not anywhere else in '85!

Don Bosco called. They want their diploma back.

I think that BCN was famous for playing Madonna's Like A Virgin 45 at 33 RPM instead.

Yesterday I heard Todd Rundgren Think of Me played middday right after Lightening Crashes by Live. I thought that maybe I had it on ZLX and that they were tweaking their playlist instead, go figure.
