I figured you picked up on it too. I'm listening to it but I'm already tired of the playlist. It way to heavy on Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Not that it's a bad thing but their is soooo much more great music to play. When I can catch it I'm way more in to Y-Rock on XPN. It's the evolution of WDRE, one of the last great Philadelphia radio stations.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('22758','Joe Cotellese'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('22758','Joe Cotellese','I read about K-Rock and 104.5 last month in Rolling Stone.

I’m listening to it but I’m already tired of the playlist. It way to heavy on Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.

Not that it’s a bad thing but their is soooo much more great music to play.

When I can catch it I’m way more in to Y-Rock on XPN. It’s the evolution of WDRE, one of the last great Philadelphia radio stations.
