| - PART 2
What I hate the most about the Edge is the frequency in which they play the same music over and over on any given day. Some days it hasn't even hit 5pm and I'm hearing the same song for the forth or even fifth time. Artists whom I can't stand to hear anymore are Billy Talent, Metric, MGMT, and Kings of Leon just to name a few. Don't get me wrong I love KofL, but mainly their first couple albums, and any chance of me appreciating their latest album was crushed when the Edge saturated their station with "Use Somebody" & "Sex on Fire" non-stop for the past 6 months. Everyone also claims to be die hard KofL fans and haven't even heard the gem of an album "Aha Shake Heartbreak"..classic.
I don't mind Billy Talent, Silversun Pickups, The Arkells or The Stills but do you really have to drop their tracks 4-5x during a regular work day? I use to love Metric's "Give me Sympathy". I used to love Silversun's "Panic Switch".
On a similar note, I hear "21 Guns" by Green Day at least 3-4x a day at work and I hate that song and the whole new album. I just wish they would take it back to days even remotely reminiscent of Dookie, but they never have since and that's a whole other Yelp.
I hate that Bookie plays "Jump Around" every day sometime after 2pm. I used to love it.
I hate that The Edge plays Beastie's "Sabotage" every fkin day, I still love it but not as much.
I hate that the only Radiohead tracks they play are "Karma Police", "High and Dry", and the dreadful "Creep". What about the rest of OK? Kid A? Amnesiac? Hail to the Thief? In Rainbows? Radiohead is golden beyond recognition and I feel it's somewhat of a travesty only playing the 3 or 4 songs that they do.
I hate the fact that Dean Blundell, Jason, Todd and other hosts bashed the sh!t out of Michael Jackson so much after he passed. They made so many derogatory and unthinkable statements I could never repeat, ridiculed his life and his achievements and that really left a bad taste in my mouth, but again a whole other Yelp.
Although it seems as though there's a lot I hate about the Edge and their selection of music there's mad ish I do like. At the end of the day with all the hurtin' music they drop, they do get through some seriously good music as well. I sincerely love the fact that they play a substantial amount of bands like: STP, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Matt Good, Hip, NIN, and The Clash to name a few.
I love double shot weekends where they play 2 songs back to back by the same artist.
I love the fact that they support lots of Canadian acts, ie. Dallas Green, Sloan, Sam Roberts and K-OS, that's crucial. On the same not they drop way too much OLP.
I love the fact that they drop multiple songs in one day from new, highly anticipated albums.
I love the fact that they'll play full live concerts over some weekends.
I love randomly hearing tracks like Finger 11 "Above", Oasis "What's the Story Morning Glory", Dallas Green "The Grace", Clash "Rock the Casbah", Nirvana "Aneurysm", Silverchair - Abuse me etc.
Sooo...I guess that's my Edge rant, I guess. Kudos to Edge for dropping ill tunes 25% of the time, it's still enough to get me to listen.
