In the radio

I chose to listen to four very different radio stations for a total of an hour. I chose to listen to stations from my home town online because I'm not familiar with any local radio stations, and plus I found out that I don't actually own a radio in my apartment. The stations I chose to listen to were, 107.9(Hip-Hop), 99.5(Country), 92.3(Rock/Alternative), and 98.5(Classic rock). Each of these stations are very different from each other, So therefore the guitar plays a different role in each one.
I would say the guitar stood out the most in 98.5. This is because there were many guitar solos, and the guitar was the instrument that led the songs and stood out above all other instruments. Most the classic rock songs used power cords and the guitar sets the melody for the rest of the band.
The next two stations had a good amount of guitar in them also. 92.3 and 99.5 both had a large quantity of songs where the guitar was the stand out instrument. 99.5 used the acoustic guitar most of the time, just because that is the style of country music. 92.3 consisted, for the most part, of just the electric guitar. This station was full of repetitive power cords. There wasn't much as far as guitar solos go, and I would say the drums equaled the guitar as far as the most outstanding instrument within the song.
lastly 107.9 was the only station that lacked guitar. I don't recall hearing one song in the entire time of listening to it, that contained a guitar, or any other instrument other than a synthesiser. There was a complete lacking of instruments and each of the songs were just artists. There was not one song that was performed by a band of group of artists.
