Amazing how the 'mentions' work here. Kinda neat!

Maybe we should call [MENTION=19675]Dannyalcatraz[/MENTION] in on this discussion of METAL.

Yeah, those mentioned now get play on the Classic Rock stations (though I consider them Classic Metal). Except for Dio... Dio gets essentially no play (at least in my area). The only time I've heard Dio on the local radio was when Ronnie passed. On rare occasion, I hear a piece of Dio as a request from a listener, but that is the extent.

A real shame, as he put out some great material (in each group he became affiliated with).

Then Sabbath gets all of 3 tracks played (Paranoid, Iron Man and rarely War Pigs), and a grand 4 for Deep Purple (Smoke on the Water, Woman From Tokyo, Highway Star and rarely Hush).
But then we get bombarded with Beatles and Rolling Stones. I don't really care for either of them (like maybe 25% of Beatles, maybe 33% of Stones)... I'm more for Led Zeppelin! (Or dozens of other bands.)

EDIT: I was thinking of just such a thing, Relique.

Yes that is a shame. He did some excellent work with Rainbow and Sabbath, but, then, Rainbow also get little or no airplay in this universe. The only Rainbow material that I don't care for was that little bit of weirdness when they had Graham Bonnet as lead singer. (Circa 1980-81??)

Speaking of which, anyone know whatever happened to Joe Lynn Turner??? I think he's the best singer that Rainbow ever had. Better than Dio, even.

IMHO, "Hush" is by far the best effort of the Rod Evans, Nick Simper version of Deep Purple, a/k/a Mark I Deep Purple.

Other members of my family have the same opinion.

Couldn't hurt to have a link. I tend not to stream much music due to my oddball connection. And I don't spend much time searching for other stations (on the 'net) I might like. I've tried streaming a few through iTunes for metal, but they so often turn out to be against my tastes... Lots of screamo, which only serves to give me a headache. Or it's a lot of thrash, and I can only take thrash metal in small doses.

(My taste tends to run in the Power, Progressive and Symphonic families, when it comes to Metal. Most of the time. So it is difficult to really find something suitable, largely because I'm damnably picky! )

Here it is: 97.7 fm

Give us me some examples of these sub-genres, please?

It's too bad that the harder stuff gets mixed in with the softer Stones and Beatles tracks. I have Sirius here and the Classic Rock station plays way too much Stones IMO (could be because I really dislike them...). Even when they play things like Deep Purple it's mostly Smoke on The Water, sometimes Highway Star. Sabbath gets played on The Boneyard! One of my favourite stations, along with Lithium. The 90's alternative/grunge was what I listened to during my formative years...

What You'll Hear:

Hard and heavy classic rock.

What we play: AC/DC, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rush, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Maiden.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Canada - Boneyard

Lithium:

What You'll Hear

The best Grunge and '90s Alternative Rock.

What we play: Pearl Jam, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Alice In Chains, The Offspring, Stone Temple Pilots, Weezer, Nirvana and many more.
