FYI, KQ94 dropped that format in 1983 to become the #2 Country station in Little Rock. It seemed like a poor decision to me but it was the result of Pretzel Logic, courtesy of Multimedia. They don't call it Murphymedia for nothing.

Not log afterward, they killed the KAAY rock format and started broadcasting for Jesus 24 hours a day.

Ooh, I was gonna say hard-core country -- the "my dog got run over by the ambulance carrying my momma to the hospital 'cause she had a heart attack when she saw daddy kissing the neighbor's daughter on the day I got out of prison" kind -- but thanks to Brenda's answer I'ma have to add "Christian" Rock.

Brenda, I was hoping you would swing by. As you probably know, KAAY changing to the Jesus Freak format, after I cut my teeth on Beaker Street was the nail in the coffin.

And Bob, I concur. I didn't even think about Christian rock when I created this post because frankly, it's off the fucking radar. Doesn't even exist for me.

Aside from the freaking amazing Take Five, an hour of Jazz would make me want to ram my head into a brick wall.

kelly, isn't it take six? And is that why my head is so fucking bloody?

And you've probably never heard real Negroes get it on.

Bob nailed it.

And kelly, Take Five is truly awesome. That's what got me hooked on jazz as a kid. Try some Miles for a freakout in jazzland some day.

Crappy R&B shite.

And how the fuck can anyone not like Joe Jackson?

Kona was wrong saying that I don't like Joe Jackson.

It's a tie: Speed metal (screaming heavy metal, whatever you call it) I can't listen to a second of it. And most (but not all) rap music drives me insane.

Speedmetal can only be enjoyed live, where its a hellacious good time!

Christian rock. I'd rather sit in silence and enjoy my own thoughts.

Christian rock makes me want to PUKE, but then again, after the workday I've had today just about anything makes me want to puke. I need that floatation tank again and major sensory deprivation.

The kind of jazz that sounds disjointed. I can't enjoy it as it doesn't sound like a song to me.

The speed metal where the vocals are very hoarse frightens me a little.

I've never heard Christian rock. I can't even imagine it.

Country music annoys me, but it couldn't be used to torture me or anything.

So, txrad, what dost thou think of Bodhisattva? I love Steely Dan.

I can't handle very much fusion jazz. It just goes on and on without getting anywhere. I would list rap and hip-hop but that would be calling them music, wouldn't it?
