Giving this thread a bump because...it deserves it I was listening to Q as usual...then the frickin' Five Man Electrical Band came on, again, and I thought "Okay, I'm going to find that new station on the dial". I'm glad I did.
X92.9 from what I've heard...is like going back 10-15 years to the glory years of CJAY. Yes, I like the "classic modern rock". Tool, Pumpkins, Radiohead, etc. That's what a lot of my album collection consists of. But I expect the station to bring more. I expect they will play new bands, bands that I haven't heard before. That's what I want my radio station to be. I want radio to help me discover good, new music. CJAY hasn't done that in 10 years.
To be sure, I've heard some crap songs on X so far. I'll take it. Without exaggeration, 9/10 "new rock" songs on CJAY are crap. On X so far, that's been about 1/5. I like that ratio much better.
