Changed my car's radio settings from WBAB a radio station that is locked
into music from 1983. Serving Long Island for more than 35 years - BAB plays the same tired and worn out picks from 35 years ago. It’s the only station that
plays Zebra, who else plays this band?
Their playlist is predictable - Van Halen, AC/DC, Billy Squier, Motley Crue, Posion, ZZ Top,
Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Guns n Roses, Ozzy, the same
freakin Pink Floyd song at least four times in any single day and a few of the
other rare eighties - cheesy bands - from the heavy metal days of old. Each band made some great music and I like to hear them once in awhile. Not all day and all night when I'm stuck in rush hour traffic on the LIE. I sincerely hope this station wakes up one day and
realizes many Long Islanders in their advanced and wise ages have moved onto other bands.
We are all older and more important - more diverse and don’t have to listen to the same songs when we were teens. Back then we got in trouble, did hideous things we can't tell our kids or for a many BAB listeners can't tell our grand kids. New music for WBAB is The Police and U2 and the elusive Pearl Jam. There is another station on
the radio and it's gaining listeners on Long Island - The Shark 94.3 out of Smithtown.
They mix Black Sabbath with STP, Black Keys, Offspring, Metallica and Foo
Fighters. That is a mix. Notice there was no Zebra in the playlist because
the band had one hit in 1983, Tell Me What You Want. I will tell you WBAB, I want a radio station that
evolves with the times…if I want oldies I can listen to WCBS…time to make some changes in Babylon.
