Re: How is Music Chosen?

I (the owner and Program Director) am the ultimate arbiter of what does and does not go onto the station. I try to operate under the broadest possible definition of "prog", so many things that might not be strictly prog are included, if I feel there's enough "progginess" As far as certain tracks not making it, usually that happens if I feel a track or tracks are truly inferior in quality, as is the case with "In The Hot Seat" (which overall is a weak album IMO). I try to temper my opinion with listener feedback, and with an eye towards "generally accepted prog beliefs" A good example of this is the Strawbs, who bore me considerably, but most prog "experts" consider them essential. So I've added a few of their albums.

Hope this helps. It's basically a benevolent dictatorship...

Nice call about the Strawbs

Ted, is that a yellow beard or radiation?
