Yesterday we did a little test to explore which AAA stations lean alternative and which don't -- we counted up the number of songs on each station's playlist that appear on any of the Alternative charts appearing in Billboard/Radio-Info.com. Today will be the mirror image of yesterday -- another raw number count this time focusing on songs on the current playlists (measured last December) that appear on the AAA charts but not on any of the alternative charts. Yesterday's chart tended to give higher "alternative" stations with large playlists. This one tends to penalize -- if that's the right word -- them. Today under 10 will indicate an alternative leaner 10-19 will indicate a neutral and 20 and over will indicate a "soft" alternative station.

What KInd of AAA Station Do You Have?
One thing that has struck me about the Album Adult Alternative format is that there is a wide variance. Some are fairly close to the pre-2000 alternative format, before the female portion of the audience was ruthlessly weeded out and the remainder was force fed Korn. Others are on a mission to air every singer-songwriter in every coffeehouse in America. Still others are trying to sell hot AC with the Katie Perry and Pink lfet out.
So I took a semi-scientific stab at defining the differences. First I took a look at the AAA chart and compared it to the Alternative chart. They usually have several songs in common -- Right now it's Radioactive, Sick of You, The Cave, Dog Days Are Over to name a few. To those I add songs that are exclusively on the alternative chart. Then I compare it to the playlist of the AAA station, whether it's on their website, or in YES or TuneGenie. I count up the "alternative" current songs on the station's playlist. Ten and over will count an alternative leaning AAA. 5-9 will count as a neutral AAA Four and under will count as soft AAA.
So How did your station fare?

Essential 11 for January 2011
Now that the year end lists are out the the way -- back to one of my regular features -- the Essential 11. The 11 songs that are getting some airplay somewhere that imho need to get more or are so good they cannot wear out their welcome. In other words, the songs that your station should be playing. This month's is a rather rockin' 11 -- We'll start off with a song that should have been in --
1. Dog Days Are Over -- Florence and the Machine I was put off of her by the "kiss with a fist is better than none" song, (which I sincely hope was failed satire or irony gone horribly wrong) But here she comes on like Kate Bush's badass daughter, warning of the apocalypse and raising a roller roller hell.
2. Girlfriend -- Best Coast Guitar driven noise pop about an unrequited crush -- not the most original idea in the world, but it works.
3. Mine Tastes Like Honey -- R.E.M. The first single off Collapse Into Now. a good deal more tuneful than the free track "Discoverer" the band released just before the New Year. It's a sprightly rocker with typically eliptical Michael Stipe lyrics.
4. My Body -- Young the Giant Tribal drums with a giant melody and a solid wall of guitars.
5. Howlin for You -- The Black Keys -- Howlin for You I heard Queens of the Stone Age are considering a plargarism suit, claiming that this is a copy of their song "Burn the Witch", with which it shares a beat and a single guitar chord progression. Are you kidding me?
Anyone with ears can tell you that this is a copy of "I'm A Man" which has been copied a hundred times before -- and it never gets old, especially not when the Black Keys hits it.
6. Sleigh Bells -- Infinity Guitars Derek E. Miller sure knows how to sling a Kinks-like guitar roff. Allison Kruaus sure knows how to rock a school uniform, a baseball bat and shades (watch the video!) Together they make a mighty noise!
7. 99 Problems -- Hugo The classic JayZ hit as acoustic delta blues. A hilarious concept that somehow works so well I can ignore the use of the sexist b-word.
8. You've Seen the Butcher -- Deftones A feverish sex dream for metalheads.
9. Americanarama -- Hollerado a carnival ride of a song mourning the death of American cities from an Ottawa area band that previously had a huge Canadian airplay hit with "Juliette" a rocker about a old woman's last day on earth. Try not singing along after a couple of listens.
10. Bambi -- Tokyo Police Club Accessible, yet has indie hip up the ying yang. The keyboard work the propulsive keyboard work is what makes this track so compelling.
11. Pyro -- Kings of Leon A haunting track from the band you're not supposed to think they're cool anymore (but they are)

KRVO Top 103 of 2010
"The River" is a more or less AAA station operating out of Columbia Falls, Montana. It reminds me of some of the stations I used to hear out of small towns where the program director just decided to throw on a little bit of everything so everyone would be happy. Some top 40, some hard rock and some tunes for the hippies hanging out in the coffee shop. I have no idea, however, how typical this list is of the music they play. They are one of the few stations that still don't have an internet stream.

WROX Top 20 of 2010
The alternative station of the Norfolk/Virginia Beach/Hampton area. Was once very much hard rock oriented, and has followed the divergence of the alternative and active rock charts the past couple years. Although it can be picked up in the NC Outer Banks, I was so enamored with their AAA station WVOD I never got around to giving it a listen. I'll have to check, but I think this is the only alternative station to list BOB's Airplanes on their year end list. This is not a criticism -- I actually like that song.

CIMX Top 89 of 2010

WFPK Top 100 of 2010
WFPK is a AAA Public Radio station in Louisville. They also have "The Fox" a Clear Channel that recently transitioned from active rock to alternative.
My sister and mom are currently living there so I get to listen to both these stations a lot, at least when my daughters aren't insisting on the local Top 40 Station. WFPK leans a bit folkie-Americana while "The Fox" is just slightly better than your average Clear Channel alternative station and is fairly typical of its type (leans hard rock, short playlist, rarely plays anything pre-1991, lots of pictures of scantily clad women on its website). I'll shut up now and give you the playlist.
1. Cabin – A Lie Worth Believing
2. The Black Keys – Tighten Up

KFMA TOP 50 0F 2010
As you can see from this list Tuscon Arizona's KFMA leans toward the hard/heavy end of the alternative spectrum. That's not necessarily a criticism. I love Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend but there's no shortage of good and interesting bands on active rock playlists -- it's just that the drek on those charts is a lot drekkier. I'll take the Deftones and Chevelle over Muse and 30 Seconds to Mars any day. Hey -- the Deftones and Chevelle are in the TOP 10! Now if they could just substitute Broken Bells and Florence and the Machine for Three Days Grace and Bullet for My Valentine and maybe...
