A Melody Bar Top 100? Pete Santiago Wants To Know...

by Altrok Radio

Pete Santiago's always been committed to the annual Old-School Melody Bar Reunion (which should be happening this year a bit earlier than usual - late January dates are being tossed around [UPDATE! Looks like it's actually late February! See this post for the hot-off-the-press details.]) but this year he's going further.

How much further? If you've ever tried to create a top-100 list for anything, you know how much work that can be...but that's what Pete wants to do, and we're fully behind letting him do it.

He continues:

Anyone who has ever gone to the Melody can play along... all you have to is have gone to the melody 1 time between 1984 and 2001 ...I would like everyone to simply send me your top 5 songs and artist that you loved to hear at the Melody...I know only 5 that?s all ya get!!! That you would either ask the DJ or just hear and say... What is that? I love that song!!!! I will post the top 100 a few weeks before the next MELODY REUNION......


...and for emphasis, FIVE SONGS ONLY! If you send more, he's only going to take the first five. I've got my own idea of what'll be Number One, but I only get my five votes...let's let the polls do the talking.

Here's the address he wants you to send your list to. Make it good - all decisions are Pete's, and they're all final.

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
