Why I created a site about Album Rock and Alternative Rock.
Nowhere in cyberspace could I find a who-did-what-when site regarding these 2 genres. Plenty of sites exist covering Pop Top 40 songs. I decided to create a site dedicated to the fans of album rock and alternative rock. I wanted to give you a go-to place on the web. Hope you enjoy the site. Should you have any suggestions for items I can add, please feel free to email me at the address at the bottom of this page.

So what are the future plans for Radio Underground? Since this site is new, the current content - the short clips regarding the radio stations and the artists they played, plus the lists of songs charted on the two Billboard charts - will be brought up-to-date for each year. Some features planned for the future include:
- "Modernized" look and navigation
- Year-end countdowns for each year - both Album Rock and Modern Rock (some are presently on the site)
- Weekly chart re-creations based on visitor preference
- Database of all radio stations playing album rock, alternative rock, and related formats
- Possibly a blog...we'll see
I'd also like to get more info about the early years of both Album Rock radio, Alternative radio, and college radio, like early playlists, as there seems to be little information especially regarding the latter two formats. I may rely on early Billboard Hot 200 Album Chart data, if anything.
Any other ideas on items you would like to see, please email me at the address on the bottom of this page.
Thank-you for viewing Radio Underground and please visit again, as updates will continue!
