Idolator

I always think its strange when I hear Metallica on KROQ. I could be wrong about this, but its my recollection that they never played Metallica songs, until one year they did one of the "All-time Favorite KROQ Artist" weekends and Metallica fans voted them like 12th over all. This was some time in the mid- to late-90s and the last metal station KNAC had just gone off the air. Anyway, the line-up above (with a few exceptions) is why I find it almost impossible to listen to the station after the morning show is over. I can stand most of those bands, and I've never actually heard them play anything by MGMT.

"Enter Sandman" was the KROQ turning point, IIRC.

Having watched the DVD of Devo's Lollapalooza '96 set, I can only assume they kicked Metallica's ass.

What kind of set will the Flobots play? the "Handlebars" song five times in a row??

Fuck these bands. It's Ian McCulloch's birthday. What about a post celebrating the Wonder and Beauty that is Echo and the Bunnymen?

@How do I say this ... THROWDINI!: KROQ has played MGMT's "Time To Pretend" 173 times

@bleepbloop: Well, like I said, I rarely listen after the morning show anymore, so, there you go. I can only take some much nu-metal, emo-metal, System of a Down-wannbes, etc.

Plus, knowing KROQ, that 173 times was all in one day, effectively killing the enjoyment anyone might have received from thinking, "Hey, I like this song."

Atreyu? Has KROQ officially moved into the "Active Rock" format?

Hmmm...173 spins in -- that means the MGMT song will be going into call-out research very soon -- expect to see the song dropped from rotation by the end of the month.

So many people's dads are psyched for this bullshit, you have no idea.

The Bravery? Really??

@walkmasterflex: You can cry on my shoulder. In-fucking-explicable.

The Offspring = Pathetic

@antistar2000:

Ain't that the truth!
