Lately, every time I turn on the radio, it is that Killers song. Not sure what it is called, but it goes; "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier".
It's not really a very good song, but it is played sooooo friggin' much. I've come to hate it.
Nickleback and The Tragically Hip are 2 more that get overplayed a lot. Woke up to a Hip song this morning actually. I realize that the CRTC wants a certain % of Canadian content, but there ARE other bands out there that deserve coverage. :angry:

I wrote a paper in my undergrad on that, arguing that while the content % should be there, there should be regulations on what's played. At the time I wrote the paper Amanda Marshall, and Shania Twain were played every hour to keep the content % up.
I argued that you can only count one song by the same artist every 3 hours (something like that). Therefore if you played Amanda Marshall at 3:00, and again at 4:00 that only counts towards the content percentage once, even if it was two different songs.
It'd help keep a variety and more Canadian artists played, which is the intent of the regulation.
