No one is attacking any radio stations, but more attacking the commercial music that gets played.
As mentioned earlier, it is up to you if you like it or not, you have the option of getting your music player, CD, or any other form of musical entertainment. They don't really care.
Enough with the Radios!

oke see heres where ppl go wrong...Commercial music is loved by the majority of the crowd meaning 95% of the population for example in lebanon... a radio station cannot turn into underground music and have 5 % listener count... in this way it will loose...minority never win, the only way to listen to what you love is the way u mentioned above through mp3 players or cd players or whatever...
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
once upon a time there was a boy that was born to make a change in this cruel world of mortals. this boy became a man and this man became old and died. thats about it..

Good topic. Moved to the Music Room.
My two cents on this:
EDM on radio is the type that appeals to the masses (exceptions occur)
and therefore, doesn't go down well with purists. I am therefore not a fan
of such a phenomenon. That said, radios have played an enormous role
in popularizing EDM and spreading it among fans and new listeners
alike. The only problem is that this popularization is not accompanied by
any educational approach - just tunes on the radio following each other to
promote the international DJ coming in, which is the wrong approach again.

If your trance was a pretty blonde ballerina; then what I listen to is a peed-off bulky bouncer pounding the living shit out of your ballerina.

For those that don't know, I haven't lived in Lebanon since 2004- when i moved out here to Dubai...
With every-other weekend I head to Beirut for an event or road-show, I find myself constantly tuning in from station to station to hear what are the tracks played, who's advertising for what (including media buyers/agencies... v/o talent they're using...etc) and as always monitoring who's playing the latest tunes- and if any of the new stuff I get is missing, i'm sure to send it to the guys@ Mix FM in the first few hours I'm back on my computer here in Dubai...
however, if u really can't handle the stations there, and don't have a CD/MP3/Battery to power it, tune in on AM to 1323 (BBC WORLD SERVICE) the best radio station on the planet!
it's not "music" its information, documentaries... perfect for long drives! I tune into that here in Dubai on 87.9FM more than i listen to any other radio station... traffic, drives, I'd rather learn something new than hear "Robbie Williams" over and over again... plus radio ads here are limited to 35 seconds now- I produce the Peppermint radio ads that used to be 45 seconds, but now the new regulation is for 35 seconds MAX...
so radio breaks are 3 min long- and for English we got Radio 1, 2, Dubai 92, Virgin Radio, Channel 4, Coast, Dubai Eye- so there's more than enough on air for you- yet I still enjoy BBC world service more- call me a nerd, but I'd rather learn something new everyday-
that's my 2 cents on the radio factors in that and this city...
