"what Buckcherry's about" Dildos and f**king? Fantastic. And I've seen these guys in concert like 5 times what's wrong with me. I saw them once at a radio festival I want to say back in 2006. I was surprised to see so many people close to my parents age watching them. Maybe because they kind of have a Classic Rock kind of sound? ::shrugs::

I'd say this is much better than probably about 44.2434% of the alternative songs out there right now. this song gets a 621311/10 Chuckles! Sad thing is this is actually true. But most of alternative radio is utterly unlistenable, whereas this at least has that it's so bad it's kinda funny if you're high enough thing going for it.

Cause the alt songs are terrible songs written by nerds and dweebs who take themselves way too damn seriously, whereas the country songs are terrible songs when sober but excellent songs when one wishes to party.
If the loser hipsters making today's alt songs start adding rap verses from Pitbull (I'm struggling to imagine it, but I suppose it's possible), they might at least be listenable after half a bottle or so.

That's why twenty|one|pilots is a great band, they're probably the nerdiest band Alternative has added, and they rap!

I'm generally accepting of today's crop of indie artists on alternative, but Twenty One Pilots may be where I draw the line... mostly because of the lead singer's unpleasant rapping voice, which is why I'm glad "Car Radio" was a relative flop compared to their previous hits

I wouldn't say all the Alternative songs are unlistenable, but most of the songs on the chart I don't like do fall under the indie pop/pretentious hipster category, which I wish would just go away already. However, I'm OK with Twenty One Pilots and Alt-J, which almost everyone else on this board seem to hate, even the indie fans. I think it'd be absolutely hilarious if all the hipster alternative bands now actually did try to add more mainstream pop/rap sounds into their songs (more than already I mean). Heck, given the current state, they'd end up somehow making their way to the Top 5.

TOP seems to generally be liked on this board, although I think that last statement you might've meant for alt-j only, idk

I went through the threads, most posters liked them but didn't approve of the single choices Kurt and Pipa I can recall not liking them, don't know who else

Think of a band like Priory, or someone like Vance Joy doing what they did.

I thought that based on the discussion in this thread somebody started crying "WTF WHY IS BUCKCHERRY FLOPPING ON ALTERNATIVE??????" Then I read the discussion, and thank God that isn't the case. I probably would've left Pulse...again

TOP isn't actually that bad. I don't like their music, but it is jarringly interesting anyways.

Once Green Baron returns I can imagine him wondering why Buckcherry isn't smashing Alt.

top 30 of what? Stupid stupid song, but has a kind of charm. Maybe since its a cover of a dance song, is suprisingly danceable.

wow, Heaven Knows is still #1 there. First hit #1 on March 23rd, and has held it consecutively since the 29th. How many stations are on that panel? Can't be all that many...

The problem with that format is the varying amounts of new music each one plays. Some are almsot purely classic rock stations, while some are closer to active. If you ask me, it's by far the most useless chart on the panel, and should be absorbed entirely into the active chart.

What's the last song to go top 10 there and not chart on any other format, anyway?

All of the top tracks there are clear Top 10 Active hits, so why not just combine them? The format by itself doesn't offer anything different or unique, and every other main format on Mediabase has their own core artists and styles. So why are these 29 stations separate from the other Active stations?

yeah but why is that a reason to not combine two sets of nearly identical stations?
