Try Alt Nation on XM. It has occurred to me how closely these songs resemble the sixties AM rock station fare. Of course they are different, but they follow the same format. In particular, they all have a "hook", and of course a strong beat and melody.
Exhibit A is Around My Head by Cage the Elephant. That "Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ah Ah Ah Ah Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ah Ah Ah Ah" is the epitome of a hook. It makes me feel right at home.

Good call, dr_lew! What I was trying to say in post above is that there is GREAT music all around. You just have to look a little further than the antiquated “delivery channels” you used in the ‘60s ‘70s and ‘80s.

You better get back to the “home” before they lock up for the night, or you will miss your meds.

It sounds a lot like the music we used to dance to in the punk/new wave clubs in the early 80s.
