I thought they were not half bad, always looking for new music!, not my normal genres of country, metal, rock and folk, but I enjoy all forms of music. As previously mentioned, good lyrics, and a decent beat. As far as I'm concerned, there is not alot of good music played on the radio, just pop and music with no soul (same thing I guess). So no, I don't think they'll make it on "big" radio, but it's too bad.

there are several ways I like Shoutcast.com, there is also pandora.com ... for an on-the-air channel you need a player like WMP or Winamp. Winamp works great with Shoutcast too.\n\nThere also services like Launch or MusicMatch, which have free as well as premium channels.

Legal and FREE Stuff:\nhttp://music.download.com/\nhttp://www.garageband.com/\nhttp://www.purevolume.com/\n\nThese artists may not have air-time (and yes you do have to look for the good ones), but it is worth it if you are EXTREEMLY into music, plus it is an easy/cheap way to hear music you may have had no idea existed.

Well, I've been in the radio bus. for about 20 years in LA and i personally think star is lame.  They were great in the 90s but their ratings have dropped so low for the past 10 or so years due to a bad Program Director who is now gone.  The new guy is also the PD for KISS fm and it has improved in the past few months.  My fiancee worked and launched Jack FM 93.1 and I think that's a great station.  Kevin W. the Program Director has been the Program Director for KROQ for at least a decade and he oversees all the music and tweaks the station to play a lot of KROQ stuff which we love here in LA.  Another good one is KGGI in Riverside (hip hop) and I always think KIIS does a good job with their music and imaging but it's young.  So if you want variety, Jack FM is the best.  if not, KBIG is Hot AC, KIIS is CHR (pop), Jack is variety from the 70s through today, 99.9 from riverside is oldies and I think it's a great station.  and of course, there's KROQ but that's so hard these days.  KDAY 93.5 is R&B and that's about it.  Maybe you could tell me what music you like and I can help you more.  :)

If they were any good, I suppose.  "Rock" has become so battered over the past ten years or so that it's almost lost its meaning.  Even if I don't like it, though, I'll say it's a great way to get noticed.  I've been on AcidPlanet (site for mainly electronic music) for years, and I've had one CD release already.  Post music, advertise, and encourage feedback--good or bad--because you have to break a lot of eggs to make a quiche.  I tell you what, if I like it, I'll even give you some exposure through my little network!  Good luck!

Sirius radio has quite a few good rock stations.  One of my favorites is called Hair Nation.  Feels like I am in high school again!

Lol...the guy above me was pretty helpful! Not! OK, try checking out Sirius for some local stations in your area - they have a LOT of Internet-based channels in a variety of genres. Good luck.

I hear SDS quite often on ChristianRock.net, which is one of my favorite online stations. I also saw them open for Skillet last year. It was an amazing show.

Make as many CD copies as you can and post them out to as many radio stations that you can find.\n\nGood luck!!

If your in upstate new york, then listen to 99.9 The Buzz. They are an alternative rock station. But anywhere else, I have no clue.

It depends a lot on where you live, how much advertising time you want to buy, the format of the radio station, and lots of other things. If you are serious about this, you can call up your favorite radio station and ask. Several stations are owned by the same companies, so it's possible that you could get your ad on a good mix of stations, depending on what you want.
