The Hot 106<\/a> is a list of 106 “classic rock” songs that should be banned from radio airplay forever. In an effort to be fair, and to flaunt their quasi musical snobbiness, Kent<\/a> and Jen have tasked themselves with finding replacements for the overplayed tunes.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kent and I part ways a bit on this installment of the Hot 106. He’s able to come to terms with George Thorogood, but I’m afraid I’m past reconciliation with Thorogood’s entire catalog. Either way, classic rock radio would do well to consider our suggestions.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Kent: “Who Do You Love”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a fun party trick; get an indie hipster music snob talking about Led Zeppelin. When he\/she inevitably says, “I like John Paul Jones ok enough, I guess, but only his bluegrass side projects,” reply with this: “Yeah, I’m the same way with George Thorogood; I only like the stuff he did on Rounder Records.” The hipster will suffer such social shame from not knowing that he recorded for a bluegrass\/folk label that his\/her head will explode, Scanners<\/em> style, while another hipster says, “boom” (not because someone’s head just exploded, Scanners<\/em> style, but that’s just what hipsters say in that situation. It’s what Dorothy Parker would have said to Harpo Marx after a witty bon mot at the Algonquin Round Table, if they were both douchebags).<\/p>\n
