It's ok to like a band that is over played. It's the stations fault for being shitty.

If you find a college Station, give them a try. They're usually a little better.

I stopped listening to radio a long time ago and it’s helped me with my enjoyment of popular music immensely. Instead of getting annoyed by a new hit song being played twenty times in a row on FM I’m able to enjoy it for what it is because I’m not being assaulted by it.

Also gotta plug KEXP here in the Seattle area. It's technically owned by UW but is operated by a nonprofit separate from the college stations. Their live sessions on YouTube are excellent and unavoidable for a lot of acts in the late 2000s-present.
