What about the rock?

[idb]

agree & good advice thanks - any suggestions re review sites?

My favourite would be http://www.splendidezine.com/.
A lot of the stuff is too new and obscure to find but if you search out the other bands or earlier albums they mention in the reviews you can find some real gems.

But google about and you'll find heaps depending on your tastes.
A couple of general suggestions are http://www.allmusic.com/ if you want any information on any band or http://www.metacritic.com/music/ for all sorts of stuff (including books & films).

Let me know what you find.
Also, the only search program that I can find that is even remotely useful without loading your PC up with too much crap is Kazaa. I'd be interested in any alternatives that you might know.

Hello
but I asume you all have internet ,,,,,ever heard of streaming radio even yahoo has a radio station you can select your own music and it Learns what you like ....
On the move I use my wireless card in a pda ..or ripped mp3 s .....as for ads I tried listening to more fm today and had to go to work before the ads finished they took that long ...
Ads suck ( good ones dont such as in britain ) bad ones are an insult to my inteligence and no ,,,those catchy jingles dont stick they just annoy

But I did ask if I could dredge....
Just wondering with so many new members since this was last posted in, what radio station do you listen to? Reasons why would be good too.

I listen to Hauraki most of the time at work and for 'Led before bed' etc, but also enjoy Kix FM here in Wellytown. No ads, no weather, news or sport, just continuous old classic rock and new rock too, awesome!!!http://www.kixfm.co.nz/

What about you lot?

Yeah rock only for me, unless there is sport that I can't watch on tv then its radio sport.

Only gay thing about the rock is that they seem to gradually going closer and closer to teenie bopper music and also sunday nite is crap. Tried hauraki once but its too old skool for me, need just an 80's rock station.

But thats the best time on the Rock!

Axe attack on sunday nights is the only thing on the rock worth listening.. Half the stuff they play during the rest of the day is utter shit.

Bring on the metal!

[The Pastor]

the rauki for me. HARAUKI THAT IS!

[Grumpy Gnomb]

Listen to the rock all day when at work as makes the time pass quite fast

[Swoop]

At least I've learned about NZ pub rock and how good some of that is.

Reminds me - I have one of those cheapo compliation CD's 'Greatest Australian Hits of all Time' - It has Dragon, Split Enz, Mi Sex, DD Smash, Max Merrit and Sharon Oneil on it.

SO subtle...

...at the moment at 10.45 every day they are running a story on the Moari Battalion, its cool.

28 Battalion. Those Moari's... very cool.

I hate the rock. I hate it so
so


so

so much.
The same crap music all day every day.

And that laughing guy just makes me want to kill. Kill everyone.

National Radio is the Shiz Nits. Or should I say Radio New Zealand National.

Radio just sucks nowadays. I only listen to The Rock on the weekend but it's nothing like it used to be. If I'm really desperate I'll listen to Hauraki but I can't stand the presenters.
