[atlantaprog] Re: 96rock (not about prog, really, but what the heck)

I actually enjoy The Station Formerly Known as Z-93's new format quite a bit. 
 They stll play some sixties and seventies music.  I've heard Floyd, Zep, The 
Stones and Hendrix on there among other classic rock staples.  I do wish they 
would play a bit more IRS era R.E.M. and a bit less WB era.  I certainly am 
liking Dave-FM more than any other commercial station right now.  

I haven't particulary listened to 96 Rock in ages because of the presence of 
the afforementioned "mook rock".  However, I have recently discovered 
Evanesence, who are sort of like "mook rock" only with a real singer who sounds 
a bit 
like Tori Amos.  (Yeah, yeah, and she offers me absolutely no eyestrain 
whatsoever.) I find that I can actually sort of enjoy that sound as long as I 
don't 
have to listen to a goatee and bowling shirt sporting singer who sounds like a 
bleating sheep or a whining fourteen-year-old.

I wonder if they'll add the usual Yes staples to the 96-Rock playlist.  Z-93 
was the only station that ever played them in recent years.
