What's happened to you Radio Paradise?  Long time listener and supporter, but more and more disappointed.  It used to be I could listen and hear new songs every day.  The stuff I can get on any radio station was just played occasionally and made for a nice mix.  But now it's like listening to any classic rock station, albeit without the blaring commercials, but still...  Please get back to your eclectic, new music roots.
 
In all seriousness check out Pandora Radio. They build a playlist to your tastes. It's your own private station literally. You have total control over what you hear or don't hear:

Try iHeard . It lists most all streaming places amd sorted by genres pretty well. I believe that's how I found this place. This is still the best of the lot for getting variety though I personally lean a little more into Blues/Soul/Reggae then RP. I rotate RP on a couple time a week to keep me fresh.

{#Lol}Yes, it is not for the faint of heart or for anyone searching for any type of familiarity, stableness or even any particular genre at all!  It is only for the most extreme cases of musical ADD such as myself!{#Daisy}

ok. that might add 2 or 3 more songs to the mix. I wasn't counting anything after 1980. There were also a few Classic Rock artists played but the songs were deeper cuts. so they shouldn't count.
but still, it's no where near a classic rock station.

I just went back through the last 6 hours of the playlist. 5 songs that might be considered Classic Rock. Less than 1 an hour. I don't think that's excessive.

No disrespect but it is amusing how these things go.

One person will say too much "world music" is played.  Or too much "alternative music".  Or too much jazz.

"You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you cannot please all the people all the time" (paraphrase of Abe Lincoln quote)
 
I find that if you listen over certain time periods that the genres will change several times, so even if there's an annoying spell, it will change soon.  I understand part of coralweb's post about how hearing stuff you can hear anywhere else can be disappointing sometimes: in a way one can get spoiled by listening here, and come to expect something sensational all of the time.  There's a lot of classic rock stuff that I could do without hearing ever again, and if some of it comes on while I'm listening, I can just change the station - no big deal.  I've read the complaints about too much jazz, alternative, etc. too.   It's true though, you cannot please everyone .
