It's basically songs straight out of a Billboard Charts history book... if the single peaked in the top 40 from the 1970's onward, they'll play it. But that's why they don't take requests, either. Their format is all research. So don't be fooled into thinking you're gonna hear them bust out some wild album track. These songs would all hypothetically appear on each artist's "greatest hits".

Wasn't fooled for a second. That's why all the tunes are played unannounced. It's expected that you've heard it all before. Since i've been checking JACK out, they've only played 1 tune I never heard before. The strangest transistion i've heard so far was something like You Oughta Know followed by Kung Fu Fighting. Got a request? Don't spoil our little thing with your musical tastes. tA  Tribal Disorder

The former, for just being crap, and the latter for being so played out."I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

It's still a great station to listen to over the course of a work-day, because they have such a wide selection of songs, and familiar songs are nice when you have work you should be concentrating on.  | |

We have a new "Dave FM" format down here in Atlanta. After listening to it I gotta admit, I like it. It's cool to hear "Fields Of Gold" by Sting into a Foo Fighters tune then onto something with more of a hip hop vibe. | |

They do have some funny little drop-ins here and there from this slightly slacker, slightly surfer sounding cat. "If you want to know about the weather, look out the window." "Tell us what you think, just don't tell us what to play." They are saying the exact same lines down here. This must be a satellite. um andy...i think it's a satellite  | |
