Wow…I praised your playlist last week, but this week it just looks like a bunch of older songs creeping their way back into the Top 5, even more so in your Top 10, with all the cool new songs hanging out in the bottom half. I can’t believe how much you guys play those two old, played out Black Keys songs. And Shake me Down back at #2? They’re on their 3rd single off of that album……move on!

Where’s Screaming Bloody Murder by Sum 41? That’s the best new song out there. Also, you should play Arlandria – another great Foo Fighters tune. Some of these old songs are getting tiresome.

Will you please play Falling in Reverse The Drug in Me Is You? The radio has been pretty boring lately mostly just playing older stuff not giving new bands/songs a chance. This band really deserves to be on your playlist. They are really blowing up overnight they drew the biggest crowd all day at Carson Warped Tour and went from playing to 250 people to playing for 1500 people in a matter of a few weeks. I think Ronnie Radke has star quality and is a total rock star. Just give them a few spins and see what happens please.
