Default What is going on with the rock streams?

Octane is playing like classic rock in their playlists occasionally, (Zepplin, Iron Maiden), and Alt Nation is playing like 311 and Green Day in their playlists... Anyone have any idea why things seem to be gettin all jumbled around, and has anyone else noticed it?

Probably the philosophy music wasn't meant to be categorized.

Well it's high time.

I, for one, find the stale categories of Sirius (and XM) streams to be artificial and needlessly confining. Even Organic Rock has a certain confines within which some tunes fit, others obviously do not.

While I agree with you, playing 80's metal on a Modern Rock stream isn't the right way to do it. There is an entire world of new modern rock I see on Mtv every day that I have -NEVER- heard on AltNation or Octane... and that's just pathetic. Add new music to the new rock station, but don't mix in music from other streams to breakup the mind-numbing repitition!

I agree. I am NOT suggesting they should play George Jones on Vista or Tony Bennett on US1 or Willie Nelson on Hip Hop Nation!

Exactly, there's other music in the genre that you can play, like maybe some 'Tallica or Linkin Park, or even Fuel songs that aren't singles. Hell, and probably better, the programmers should turn on some other music source to find bands you just aren't playing yet. You can expand the playlist without dilluting the content. Like for Octane they could play The Used - Blue and Yellow, it is getting tons of radio play here in NY, and yet I have yet to hear it on Sirius.
