I'm rating it a star higher than I'm realistically inclined to, in the interests of fairness,…read morebecause it's been several years since I've listened to the station, and one's taste in music tends to be subjective anyway. Certainly mine is. As a youngster with limited finances (my parents were loving, generous people, but they grew up in the Depression, so the "allowance" I received didn't exactly allow a lot of "discretionary spending," and when I started working at 13 years of age...delivering newspapers...my salary was...how shall I put it?...a little less than "bountiful" and a little more like "anemic"), I tended to be rigid when it came to music. If I liked that Stooges album, or Alice Cooper, the next time I accumulated some "mad money," I'd most likely buy another Stooges album, or Alice Cooper, rather than take a chance on expanding my knowledge/taste in music and buying something I was unfamiliar with. My opinions became fixed. I thought country music was horrible and horribly boring. Billie Holiday and Miles Davis were tedious and not nearly as exciting as the Sex Pistols or T-Rex. I was an opinionated young a#shole spouting off from a position of ignorance, with the inflexibility and self-righteousness common to many dopey kids and ill-informed louts. I've matured with the years (although some former friends and ex-girlfriends would, I daresay, disagree with that assessment), and my tastes and appreciation of different musical genres expanded. I listen to Moby Grape, Blue Cheer, Sun Ra, the Johnstons (I think their version of "the Curragh of Kildare" is the definite version, and the most beautiful), Johnny Cash, Love, Bach, the Pogues, Patsy Cline, Os Mutantes, Afro-Pop, Brazilian Bossa-Nova, Bob Dylan, etc. etc. And I still like the Stooges and the Sex Pistols. Thing is,I've ALWAYS liked at least some "soft rock" too. Even when I was that stubborn, immature jerk whose allowance money would not permit me to buy any surplus records. I liked Jose Feliciano, I liked the Moody Blues, Simon and Garfunkel, I was even willing to suffer through Bread's "Baby I'm A Want You" when that radio standard was played endlessly on what passed for "Easy Listenin'" radio stations in the 1970s. WMGQ is a different kind of "soft rock." With WMGQ, I was a captive audience. I had no choice but to listen. I was working at an office in nearby Piscataway, and WMGQ was the only station where we could get reception. We were a 24 by 7 office and that radio was on all the time. And they played the same limited number of soft hits...all..the..time. Adele droning monotonously on with "Someone Like You" was played at least once every...single...hour. And I mean...every...single...hour. I've never been suicidal in my life...I adhere to the Buddhist philosophy that you don't hurt other people or yourself, ever...but Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" drove me as close to the act as I've ever come in my life. I would have been happier with a 3-minute "hit" of fingernails being dragged across a blackboard. And they played it...every...single...hour, without exception. WMGQ's idea of playing an old-time classic was occasionally playing Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love," which always sounded more like someone skinning a cat alive to me than anything resembling a decent song. At WMGQ, Billy Joel (I am definitely NOT a fan) was presumed to be of the same artistic stature as Bob Dylan and he got played endlessly (his "hard" songs were soft, and his "soft" songs had the same consistency as bland, watery pablum). It got to the point where if they played "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree," I'd almost cry with a temporary, ecstatic relief, if only for nostalgia's sake. A long way from Iggy's "Search and Destroy," but at that point I was desperate to the point of mental derangement. It sometimes put me at odds with my co-workers. I'd go up to Lynn (a friend who unfortunately died of cancer a few years later), and beg, "Lynn, can we try and find another station to play?" "There is no other station to play, Ed; you know that already." "Well...how about we just shut it off? Even if only for a little while?" "The other people in the office like it, Ed. It has to stay on." "Lynn, if I have to hear Adele or Daniel Powter one more time..." At that point, if it had been a movie, Lynn would have grabbed me by the shoulders like Don Corleone and yelled in my face, "Start acting like a man!" But it wasn't a movie, we're friends, and life went on. And WMGQ stayed on. I no longer work in Piscataway, and I haven't listened to the station in years. If Billy Joel is one of your 20th Century "Musical Gods," or Journey impresses you in the same way the Beatles once impressed their fans and spurred them into a frenzy at Shea Stadium, or Adele's droning voice sends you into a dizzy swoon, this is probably the station you want to listen to. If they effect you the same distasteful way they do me, continue your progress up (or down) the radio dial.

Wow, I didn't know you could review a radio station here based on one's personal listening…read moreexperience. Well, here I go! :) Being a resident of North Central Jersey, I tune into this station each day just for a certain amount of time, but that really depends on what I have going on during the day or evening. "Let The Music Play" - Shannon I listened to this station ever since I was a junior in high school. They broadcast adult contemporary music, which is a mix of new songs now, and flashback tracks from the past. Various genres range from rock (lighter side, of course), pop, and some r&b, disco and dance. What matters for this station is whether or not they would play a song that I like, or play a song that I like but would annoy my passenger who sits next to me. I remember when they used to have the "Saturday Night 80s" special, which was when you would call in to request a classic hit, and along with a shout-out, they play it. Those were definitely some fun moments. :D Of course, I still do send in some requests during lunchtime on some weekdays during a once-in-a-while basis. Who doesn't like shout-outs? ;) What I really like about this station is the "Central Jersey" feeling that's existent during the broadcasts. A lot of the radio stations I tune into come from NYC, and usually they don't say too much in regards to this general area. But here, with a clear reception, not only do I get to hear good music and cool radio personalities, but I also get to find out what's happening in the general area. All of that is as good as it gets! The reception is obviously excellent if you live anywhere in Central Jersey, like where I reside. But as you head more north towards Paramus or northeast towards Newark or NYC, you will get a weaker signal. The radio station itself isn't too far from Rutgers (via NJ-27 or US-1). ;) Overall, it's a great radio station to tune into in this general area.

The amazing diversity of programming and depth of this station can catch almost anyone's ear. What is refreshing, is all the people playing the music are volunteers, who do not have to follow a corporate format. You will not hear a loop of the same songs day after day. Each 1-4 hour show has their own genre theme, but beyond that can play anything within their theme. I am always surprised by something new every time I listen. The one issue that is troubling is that their federal funds have been cut by 200k recently. Since it is a non-profit station, they rely heavily on listeners to help support the station, and especially during their funds drive this month. I really hope it can continue over the years. Check their website for programming and take a listen. It's one of those rare gems on the airways.

Over the airwaves, it is a "daytimer" station where you can receive the signal clearly from your car radio or home. When I'm home, I just stream it live through my PC which is perfect. They do program through live streaming, but the radio airwave signal is daytime only. I can also get them on my smartphone. They even have an app for convenieince. In the mornings it is live and local then the day line-up is Laura Ingraham, the king of talk radio in my humble opinion, Dennis Miller, Phil Valentine, Rodger Hedgecock, in that order. I like the classic Philadelphia call letters of WFYL, which they have called "Working For Your Liberty". This station is the true positive talk radio with a nice Judeo Christian edge. I would like more people to know about them. Intelligent radio, period.

If you're into 25 minute drum solos and acid jazz riffs interspersed with whale song that go on forever well... don't touch that dial. It's not all that absurd but the format is so loose and the hosts so whisper quiet, they make your average NPR personality sound like Sam Kinison. This is change of pace radio made for a rainy Sunday afternoon in the age of legal weed. An easy five bongs.

Maybe Flipper (although it took me awhile to really appreciate their often-inaccessible dark essence--- my favorite song of theirs is "Get Away," a paean to suicide that is inappropriately exhilarating and...dare I say it?...really "rockin'n'rollin'"-- sample lyrics: "Have you seen Mitchell? Got a card from him in jail. He asked if I could post the bail. Busted and strung out. He said he's feeling really sick, really sick. He said he's gotta get away. Go, Mitchell, get away...Go go get away..." Not exactly "feel good" music, but you'll be tapping your feet and movin' around as you listen to it...trust me...). I appreciated "grunge," sort of the last dying gasp of quality rock music, but never really became a "fan" as such. Neil Young can sing all he wants that "Rock'N'Roll will never die," but...well, it kinda has. When I hear that Taylor Swift, Cardi B., Lizzo, Beyonce, and Kendrick Lamar are selling out concert halls for amounts that add up to millions approaching billions of dollars...Who can even argue about it? Except, perhaps, in the internal Quija board of fond, exciting memories (old age beckons me on, but when I put "Raw Power" on my CD player, or Gun Club, or the Cramps, in my mind and psyche I'm 17 again, at least for the 40 minutes or so of the CD) and on legendary college radio stations like WFMU in Jersey City, and WPRB in Princeton. Thankfully, both still exist and are as vital as ever. As I've aged, my musical tastes have expanded, and I've learned to appreciate weird and esoteric "sounds" like those you're likely to hear on any given afternoon or evening (or morning, if you function during the day like normal people) on WPRB. For example, on their FB page, is the following blurb: "Thursday at NOON ET: DJ Esoterica chats with Heavenly Bodies out of Philly! HBODS are an experimental space rock outfit from Philadelphia. 75% improvised 100% of the time. For fans of refrigerator hum. Not to miss!" Is "experimental space rock" or "refrigerator hum" rock music as I nostalgically remember it? No. But it's a whole lot more interesting than turning on a "classic rock" station like Q104.3 out of NYC and hearing endless repetitions of "classic" rock "anthems" like Billy Joel's "Piano Man," or Journey, or Foreigner, or Boston, or...whatever. (Back in the day, they played "Stairway To Heaven" endlessly, almost like a religious ritual repeated at Mass several times a day every day, but now you're lucky to even hear that. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have been replaced by Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams. Just another sad reminder...as if we needed another one...of just how much we've declined culturally and aesthetically over the past several decades...) I actually find myself excited listening to what's on PRB, and I'm often hunched over the wheel of my car as I drive (not quite as dangerous as drunk driving, but probably not exactly the safest method of transportation either), listening intently for the DJ to announce the name of whatever "musical group" or "artist" I've just heard so I can memorize it and try to go out and see if it's available on CD on Amazon (sometimes it is; sometimes it isn't). If I can't catch the name, WPRB's website has a readily accessible playlist that one can refer to. Is listening to these heretofore unknown "songs" (or "refrigerator hum" jams) as exciting as the first time I heard "I Got A Right" by the Stooges on a nearly impossible to obtain 45 vinyl record as a wet-behind-the-ears teen, or "Trash" by the NY Dolls, or "Kick Out the Jams" by the MC5? No. But it's the most excited I've been about listening to the radio in...well, forever. (I did listen to college radio in my younger years, but my tastes were narrower and more circumscribed back then, and I probably wouldn't have appreciated Acid Dub, or Cambodian Synthwave, or Electro-Stoner Jazz, or...) Do I love everything I hear on PRB? No. But I appreciate the divergent and exotic musical directions the DJ's tend to navigate towards. It's always interesting, if not necessarily engaging. Let's put it this way: would you rather hear Oren Ambarchi performing "Salt," or the Heavy Heavy performing "Go Down River," or...conversely...would you rather hear Queen's rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the 1,000,000,005 time? If the latter, head over to Q104.3 in NYC with its gravel-throated DJ's and its entirely predictable playlists. If the former, then WPRB is for you.
