I will sum this radio station up with one song, Marc Cohen's "Walking in Memphis." This song is the kind of crap they love and the kind of crap they continually force feed Boulder into thinking they like.  

Nothing better than driving up to hike Sanitas with the windows down, radio up, in your Audi All-Road, golden lab in the backseat scratching up the black leather and you are mysteriously led to believe you are "Walking In Memphis" as you drive through Mapleton Hill while sipping on your POM juice.  That is what you call great radio programming folks!

Maybe it is just me, but I can't seem to stand radio. They play some poppy b.s. which will soon be thrown into the dust-bins of bad songs after the new element has ended, followed by a seemingly never-ending stream of  trying-to-be-funny-or-interesting but instead are just extremely annoying radio commercials. Whistles and sirens should be banned from radio, seriously.

But I digress.

Anyway, as far as major radio-stations go, KBCO stands out in my mind. I remember on ski trips with my family when I was a kid they would always turn on KBCO once we got to Denver, and I remember actually thinking they played some decent stuff.

World-class is definitely an over-statement, but as far as modern rock stations go in the Denver-Boulder area, you are not going to find much better.

The only radio station without annoying, cheesey-ass DJ's in the morning or on the drive home. These guys are cool and smart, no contests about who has the gross-est story to win concert tix. They play all the popular stuff that isn't too hard, wish they would get a littel more diversity though. I get really tired of hearing the *same* songs, a couple slightly harder ones would be good too.

I do think its kool to see the DJ as you pass by on Pearl BUT still, this music is...janky, no?  Folky bullshit if you ask me ....  about one percent of the time you may catch some David Bowie or Talking Heads, oh and sometimes they play Hey Jude.  But besides this, not a lot here seriously.  Cant take this Pink Floyd OVER AND OVER.  But that's not the worst of it.  PF is fine, its everything else I'm sick of.  Trust me, crank it up.

Great boulder FM station.  They claim to play "world class rock" but kind of stick to the trendy, recent top-20 (they have to make money somehow, I guess).   Lots of John Mayer and the like.  I grew up in Boulder and liked it when they used to do more 'funky' stuff like Talking Heads and Devo more commonly.

The "Sage" is great in the morning.  News is informative.  Probably the top station for Boulderites.

They also sponsor the Boulder Kinetics Conveyance Challenge (where bribing the judges is actually encouraged) in Boulder in May which is a blast and should be experienced at least one in your life.
