No. No. No.
It was the 50's.
Or maybe the 60's.
Oh, it was the 70's.
Wait... it was 80's.
Then again the 90's were awesome!
And those '00!
Even them 10's.
Now we got the '20's. Come on!

Imma let you finish, but the Seventies was the best decade for music of all time! Of all time!

I totally agree with you. I love the eclectic mix but sometimes it becomes stagnant, especially on the mellow mix. There is 8 great decades of music out here . Share it all  ! 

My 2 cents: I think the Main Mix is doing great. Like others who commented here, I had the feeling it had become a bit stagnant in the past few years. Not that I don't want to hear new things all the time, on the contrary. What has always attracted me about RP is that it combines a foundation of familiar golden oldies with a regular sprinkling of fresh material. The best songs among this fresh material will then eventually join the classics. If it would be all fresh material all the time, it would be alienating, and if it would be the same songs all the time, it would be boring. The current mix again feels like a good balance between these two.

Hear hear. I cranked up the main in the car the other day (remember when we were getting excited that we could listen to it in the car?) and it sounded so flipping good. Felt like a bit of a Renaissance, and made me glad that I've stuck with it, and happy I've been referring it out to all my music-loving friends. 
Keep on keeping on! 

Couple of decades listening/contributing here. 

So I came back to the Main Mix & gotta say - William, you're back baby & your a badass!  I really enjoy hearing your input on songs & whatnot, and I can hear the rejuvenated excitement in your voice.  Thanks for all you do for all of us.

I definitely appreciate your feedback. Thanks for taking the time to post. 

I also can’t help but notice that many of the things people were complaining about a year ago echo how I felt at the time. Those feelings are part of why I’ve spent so much time adjusting the playlist the past few months. It bored me too much of the time. 

I’d be curious to hear from some of the original posters in this thread. See if their feelings have changed.

Late reply, but yes. I especially miss the sprinkling of some familiar big hits oldies in between all the cool and interesting new and old music. 

Much though I love Radio Paradise, I find myself listening less often to the two main channels I use - the Main Mix and the Mellow Mix. And that while I have some music playing almost day and night. 

Thing is, I'm not the only one who has noticed the change. In the past I had visitor after visitor comment on the station, asking me what I listen to - mostly because they liked the great mix of music. Nowadays that rarely happens. 

I just read William's email in which he explains his current approach to the Main Mix. That just underlined it for me. Even though I still listen, and I still tell people about it, I have a sense of loss. And increasingly I find myself reaching for my own eclectic mix of music.
