subject: Mercedes rims, indie superstars and radio divas: The best radio stations in the Twin Cities Pt. 1 [print this page] Author: Kasan Groupe Author: Kasan Groupe
There isnt much variety for music in the Twin Cities, sadly. You basically have one station for all the most marketable genres of music, country, oldies, top 40, and urban. Many of the best stations like KMOJ and Radio K dont have a very clear signal so you have to be either in a certain part of the city or online to hear them properly. From mercedes rims to indie superstars to radio divas, here is a list of the best radio stations in the Twin Cities. B96 My friends give me crap when I play B96 in the car, but it really is one of the best stations in the Twin Cities. With great on-air personalities that arent grating like some of KDWBs fake DJs and The Currents annoying snobs, B96 is tolerable even when they arent playing music. They have a number of different daily formats that play old school joints and a time when they sample and try out new songs to see how the audience reacts is great at keeping the station fresh. Sadly, word is that B96 may be changing from a urban format into a strictly top 40/pop/dance format, which would a big blow to the hip-hop/r&b fans in the Twin Cities. The Current In the first few years when The Current was still fresh and new it was the best station in the Twin Cities. That honeymoon period has ended and now The Current is still good, but a tad annoying. Most of the DJs are insufferable and they have recently started replaying many of the same songs over and over again, from Animal Collectives My Girls to MGMTs Kids. They seem to be catering to the lowest common indie kid denominator with the most inoffensive and boring tunes possible, but it is still the place to go to hear music you wouldnt hear anywhere else on the radio.About the Author:
