A lot of the "hard rock" stations play music which is just as untelligable and the "screamy" stuff out there which is getting so popular is pretty hard to understand, too.


To the radio people, I think it's more about what will be instantly catchy vs. that which might be better, more original, more thought out music, but takes a person a few listens to get used to and enjoy.

If I'm not mistaken, radio works the same as TV in the sense that their success is based on ratings and they make money from advertisers. Basically their job is to keep people listening to their station. And the fact of the matter is, that more poeple want to listen to Godsmack than CoB. Sure, some stations have segments one night a week that play underground metal and stuff like that, but I wouldnt count on ever hearing CoB on regular rotation. Same reason you dont ever hear J5 on the rap stations. Thats my 2 cents.
