WALL-2-WALL- FUNK: Classic HipHop @ RadioIO.com

It's often said that "hindsight is 20/20" in the history of OUR music there is no clearer example of this in my mind than the era of Classic Hip Hop (roughly late 70's - early 90's). As I recall, many of us complained and asked the question; "WHAT HAPPENED TO THA FUNK?"

In retrospect, instead of complaining all we really had to do was open our eyes (& ears) and look/listen to what was right in front of us. We were being presented with nothing short of "WALL-2-WALL- FUNK." This is something that is abundantly clear to my ears. It was however presented in a creative & unique manner, and that is what the objection was.

We complained and asked, "where is the band?", we said things like "why don't those kids learn how to play instruments", or perhaps you said; "these aren't real musicians."

I find it odd that they don't have a metal station.

I noticed that too,but i can do the hair bands channel in a pinch.My Pandora and Slacker stations are my go to for my metal!

 

[out of control]

Yes. I use io sometimes. I posted about it on the board back not long ago. I remember very few showing interest in it. I was listening mostly to specialty stations. I think I maybe replacing io soon though with another music outlet called etree.org

I just recently started listening to RadioIO using FlyCast on my iPod Touch. Pretty cool I must say. I am very impressed with the diversity that is offered.

While not totally a metal station, you may want to check out radioIO Todays Rock. They play Disturbed as well as other similar artists.

The only thing that I find a little annoying about RadioIO is their advertisement about their commercial free service. Normally whenever they have a commercial on one of their stations I will switch over to the equivalent station on 1.fm. Both services are an excellent alternative to satellite radio if you have an internet connection available.
