I think his complaint is the same. Song lists are tight, but categories are loose. If I have a station with CSNY, Allman Bro’s, and Pure Praire League, they’re more likely to throw in some Eagles and Stones than give me some deep cuts from Buffalo Springfield or The Band. Similar problem across all genres. I think the algorithms get really skewed the more popular the song is. I don’t want “90s college rock” cluttering up a punk station because I liked “when I come around” on a Black Flag and NOFX channel. I’m trying to tell you to play deep punk cuts I haven’t heard in 15 years, but you’ll only play the same 3 Green Day songs off Dookie on thousands of pop, rock, and college FM channels. A few years ago I saw an infographic, I can’t conger up from the google machine currently, that showed how bad having “Eye of the Tiger” liked or on a channel fucks with the algorithms. Thousands of people have that song on a “workout” station linking it to everything from DMX to Slayer. Then the algorithm tries to suggest Katy Perry - Roar which links it to Gaga et al and modern pop. Song lists are tight categorization is loose. People like college radio because they hear songs Clear Channel doesn’t have in the “it fits this genre and these same 300 ‘safe’ songs we play every damn day”
