With Cities 97, I guess there was only so much U2 and REM that could be squeezed onto the metro airwaves.

For the most part, I quit listening to both when MPR launched 89.3.

I made it a point to hear what the "all new Love 105" sounded like because I enjoy a good old-fashioned train wreck. While Drive 105 wasn't everyone's cup of tea I will go on record as saying that I liked it. It was more palletteable than The Current because it was a bit more mainstream and I left my indie credibility at home with my hula hoop. I will instead listen to the air around me with Drive 105 gone. Heck, a loop of Celine Dion dragging her fingernails down a chalkboard while she sings a cover of an old Carpenters song would sound downright plesant compared to the newest format on 105.
