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
3. Mumford & Sons – Little Lion Man
4. Ray Lamontagne – Beg, Steal or Borrow
5. Laura Marling – Rambling Man

7. Dr. Dog – Shadow People
8. Band of Horses – Laredo
9. Dawes – When My Time Comes
10. Sarah Jaffe – Clementine
11. Frightened Rabbit – Swim Until You Can’t See Land
12. Delta Spirit – Bushwick Blues
13. Robert Plant – Angel Dance
14. Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore – Something Somewhere Sometime
15. Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore – Dear Companion

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.

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...
