certainly isn't the kroq i grew up on...talk about corporate :roll:
try 100.3 the sound...they might play it and it's a pretty good station
"Ya know Judge, my dad never liked you....."
What's "coporate" about not playing The Fixer? I really think it's just not a good song...as do a large amount of people (though I wouldn't necessarily say the majority). And it also really doesn't fit in with most of the stuff (crap) they play on alternative stations today. Whether you liked World Wide Suicide or not, you have admit it was loud and fit in with the format of those type of stations where Godsmack, Green Day, and Linkin Park get the most spins.
In an attempt to be upbeat like WWS was, The Fixer comes off as "poppy." I know a lot of people are sick of that generalization of the song, but i'm not saying it's bad thing that it's poppy or upbeat or whatever. It just isn't the type of song that has the potential for radio success (even though that was the intention of releasing it as a single). It'll debut high on the rock charts like every new Pearl Jam single does, but I think this one will fall off really quickly. Like, "I Am Mine" quickly. That only debuted at #6 on the rock charts. I think The Fixer will debut higher due to more promotion but will fall off just as quickly.
I just think that Got Some had more "rock radio" potential. You're typical listener who tunes in for loud crappy alternative rock like Nickleback will think The Fixer is lame. And even though he likes Nickleback, he's more than entitled to have that opinion of The Fixer.
