Day 19: Buzzsaw

According to Sirius: Hard and heavy classic rock.

Driving Conditions: Going to probably retire this entry, as 9 times out of 10, I'm driving to work and back. Sure, today there was an extended trip to the eye doctor, but this all boils down to how long I spent with the music. Today...about 90 minutes. Much longer than usual.

My Experience: I turned the dial, saw the new title, and was a bit shocked, actually. From prior exploration, I'd come to think of Buzzsaw as heavy metal, and to put it right after the "adult contemporary rock" of The Spectrum seemed like a bit of a leap. But then the more I listened to this, the more my perception came to fall in line with how Sirius envisions this channel...it ain't metal, but it's definitely hard rock. As to the "classic" part...it's hard for me to think of Metallica and AC/DC as classic rock, but okay.

Sample Playlist:
  • Alice Cooper, Elected
  • George Thorogood, Born to be Wild
  • AC/DC, High Voltage
  • Danzig, Twist of Cain
  • Metallica, One
  • Judas Priest, Victim of Changes
  • Jimi Hendrix, Red House
Verdict: Haven't really ever been a fan of "heavier" rock...and we already know where I stand on classic rock. So this ain't really for me. But it's probably more for me than the true "heavy metal" station that I know awaits me down the road...


For Discussion: What's the most disturbing part about the above musical program that will be playing on July 4th on Buzzsaw?
