FF:NSW What is your favourite radio station and band

I like listening to Today FM 104.1 and if not Nova 96.9

I like dance music more than any other

 

You didn't answer the 'band' part of your own question

station: Usually switch between Nova and Triple M

I can't believe anyone still listens to 2dayfm (aka. ADapalooza)

band:
modern; U2
past; Beatles

 

Of the stations that you all probably know, Triple M I listen to most.
Of the ones you probably don't know, 99.3, 90.5, 89.7 just to name a few. Even ABC Classic FM and 102.5 are OK. I listen to these stations for jazz. It's not jazz all the time, so if it's not I'll switch between them. Jazz is my favourite music genre, followed by Rock, nothing heavy though.

Bands. The Whitlams, Hunters and Collectors, Midnight Oil, Crowded House. All great! All Aussie!

 

NEW FM up here. But I listen to 2HD on the weekends for the rugby league.

Metallica, Foo Fighters, Powderfinger, Led Zeppelin, Filter... the list goes on for bands.

 

Well I used to switch between Triple J and Triple M. Someone said something about JJJ going crap during my time away, but I haven't really listened to it since getting back, so I'm yet to decide for myself.

As for bands:

Green Day, The Offspring (pre-Conspiracy, as there were a few good songs on Americana, despite Pretty Fly, etc.), Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Regurgitator, Area 7, and more.

 

Lach: East-side radio rules !!! (only the jazz though)

Wedge: Go Newcastle radio !! 2NUR is the way to go at certain times, but when I'm there I usually listen to NXFM - where every second song isn't Jimmy Barnes.

I don't listen to the radio much, sometimes East-side radio (B-side radio, I like to call it ). I mostly listen to CD's really loud in my car.

Bands:

Anything HARDCORE. Hardcore Goth/Metal (eg Cradle of Filth), Hardcore Rap (eg Gansta Nip), Hardcore Techno/Dance, anything as long as it's hardcore. Hardcore Country, even. BTW, I'm not being flaky or fronting - that's just what I like !!

 

Tripple J and Nova 969.
I like Magic Dirt and Placebo. Plus Nova has Merrick an Rosso

 

MMM all the way!

Bands: I like heaps but Aerosmith is #1!

 

I had a mate in high school who had a radio show on 2NUR every Thursday night.

 

Funnily enough, Jimmy Barnes was on NEW FM when I just ducked out. Their set list is a shocker and very easy to distinguish.

 

I'm one of those types wh followed merrick and rosso to nova, but for some reason they seem to be playing more pop music these days, so i'm often back on jjj.

But i'm still angry at jjj not plaing the system of a down live set on monday night, that sucks

 

Wedgewhat is the frequency of the footy station?

Don't forget to keep coming to this thread and commenting on other people's posts

 

1143 on the AM dial for the footy on the weekends. Usually from Midday to 10PM. But this year Ray Hadley is doing the show. Shame.

I guess I'll look back on this thread a bit.

 

I'll chaeck it out during the footy season.

My dad listens to 2GB for footy always.

Seeing that Stan is going to a radio station in Vic. do we get the broadcast?

 

Yeah Keith! Didn't know there were any other jazz fans out there. Do you play any?

 

2GB is the feed that I get up here, but I listen to 2HD for it. I'm not actually in Sydney, so it's just the simulcast. And Hadley is now the new presenter on 2GB, the entire cast from last year has been axed.

 

Yeah, Wedge, I had some friends who used to do a show called "Nasenbluten" on 2NUR. It was a hardcore techno radio show (Nastenbluten is also the name of a very cool band in Newwy and is German for nose bleed!)

And, Lach, I don't play any jazz instrument (if that's what you mean) but I really enjoy the music. I love music that is manic but somehow controlled. Very heavy stuff fits in that category, as does hip hop and rap (lots of sounds at once) and jazz, probably the most. I really like stuff like Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk. And besides, you just can't help tapping your feet !!

 

The duke was the best

 

Usually Nova 969. Merric and Rosso are great, but Leah MacLeod's better. Mmm, Mara-licious...

EDIT: No fave band.

 

I see you like Dance music Ki_Bara_Mundi. Is that correct?

 

Do M&R still have all their old stuff that they had on JJJ, or did that become JJJ property once they left?

Still, I always like Adam & Will better.

 

M&R are still doing their associated stuff
they turned choice bro tafe into choice bro caravan park

same diff if you ask me

but will and adam are better at interviewing folk compared to american rosso

 

Doesn't anyone here listen to 2day FM?

You should give it a try one night during the Hot 30 countdown

 

What is your favourite current song?

 

Answering q1, I mostly listen to JJJ (morning show) and occasionally to ClassicFM and 2WS when I'm in the mood for that sort of thing. I enjoy JJJ because of their topic morning programs and their alternative music list (lots of Aussie stuff too!). Plus no ads!!!!! 2DayFM's morning crew are great but their teeny-bop pop tends to bug me. I prefer alternative stuff. And I love jazz but can never figure out what to listen to!

Bands: George. Fantastic Aussie band just breaking out. Plus I dabble in a lot of stuff from Dido to Groove Armada to Midnight Oil and back again.

Current song? er.......
