Least Radio Friendly Music Genres and Styles
Some genres like classical or jazz have their own radio stations. However, apart from mainstream pop, just a few music genres can be played on a misellanous station.
It depends on if there are Black Metal internet radio stations, and if this is the case, the only people who would tune into them would be Black Metal fans. I don't suppose they would listen if it became "radio friendly".
Majority of black metal bands don't even focus on satanism.
But I offer condolences for such ignorance ;-)
Yeah. Try to listen to "Metal Machine Music" by Lou Reed, the whole album. Tell me your ears don't hurt after that. Even at half the volume my head aches.
There is some horrible dubstep out there, and mainstream dubstep artists have really given the genre as a whole a bad image, but there's a lot of it hidden in the shadows which really is beautiful. Check Electus, Seven Lions and Au5 out. They are nothing like what most people associate with dubstep.
Apart from piano hits like Yiruma's River Flows in You, most classical music written after the second world war appeals to a very small audience. It may have complex but melodiless phrases that most people regard as "note spam". Example: Kapustin - Impromptu op.66 No.2
You can't usually hear music of this period even on classical stations, at least the ones I am listening to.
Why wouldn't this be radio friendly? Are most movie soundtracks not contemporary classical?
Hits like Habanera or some scenes from The Magic Flute are continously played on classical radios but even I (as a classical fan) can't appreciate most operas.
You're talking about authentic church hymns, am I correct? I just want to clear the difference between actual hymns and the pop type songs they play on Christian radio today (they call it Contemporary Christian Music, or CCM).
If the radio started playing Christian songs with organ outside a service, 80% percent of people would switch station, including Christians themselves (although I wouldn't)
People who do not understand the language, will not like it but as I understand it I like 50% only
This is actually quite popular with people I know, but I, for one, can't stand it.
Screw this garbage music, it makes my head bleed.
Speaks for itself
Beck is the most famous anti-folk artist. And god, his anti-folk songs are VERY WEIRD. As radio-friendly as Trout Mask Replica, if not less.
