957maxfm

My heart is still heavy with the grief of my missing Max FM. I really, really loved that station. I literally howled in my car when I realized that the country music that was playing on the station was not going to change.
Rest in peace, Max FM. Come back. Come back…

Screw the Max and the Wolf! I want Z95.7 back! The Bay Area is lacking a bonafide Top 40 station with the greatest pop hits this fair Walmart loving Culture has grown to embrace! Tell me a radio station that still plays Britney Spears latest hits? None I tell ya! I will contiune to wear my blue Z95.7 tshirt until a suitable replacement comes back on the airwaves!

maxfm was awesome. It is so hard to find a station that plays a true variety of music from 70’s to current day. There was always a song on there that i loved, but had forgotten about. I could NOT believe it when i heard that weird countdown, then icky country music. I really miss max. i feel like listeners never get a say regarding station changes. If they had announced ahead of time that max was going to change, and either A) they needed money, or B) they wanted to know what we thought, i would have given money and/​or a vote to keep max. Nobody listens to the listeners.

Now what!!! Who can we call ?? This is awful! Who did this??? Where is our Max FM??? Get rid of that crappy country nonsense that took over! I can’t believe it! Finally a great radio station that’s not boring and who screwed it up???
HEY!!! We can call the new station and complain. Their # is
866−633−9653. It’s a request line with an answering machine but at least they’ll know what we all think!!!

WHAT HAPPENED TO MAX? I turned on the radio this morning and heard some weird countdown and then, to my horror, there was this big, long, really stupid introduction to: 95.7 THE WOLF!!! It’s COUNTRY. AAAAGGGHHHH!!! I literally screamed in my car. Why did they do this to us? I loved Max FM. I hate country. Where is the justice? What’s going on around here? I don’t want to give any stars, but obviously I have to to post. Sigh

Since the demise of the oldies station KFRC, I’ve not found another good station for those great hits of yesteryear… until NOW.
Classic tunes from the 70’s, no repeats, and stuff that wasn’t mainstream… I remember the tunes, but haven’t heard them in decades… what a kick! Hopefully they won’t hire that guy Dean Goss from KFRC to DJ… what a pain! KMAX, you’re my new sing along station!

UPDATE: This is now a country station. You have to be kidding me. Screw The Wolf!!! Bring back Max!!! Look, it’s not like there are actually any DJs or employees, so why don’t you play music that people actually like!!! Where the HELL am I going to get a block of Whitesnake, Journey, Young MC, and Europe??? I hate you, Max.

In a city devoid of decent radio stations, Max FM is pretty good. They throw in some solid classic rock and then mix it up with current songs. A lot of people criticize the new ClearChannel-​esque trend of radio stations without DJs, but I HATE it when DJs talk over the music, so I can’t complain. I mean really, who cares what some 105.3 degenerate thinks about politics? I WANT TO HEAR THE INTRO TO THE SONG!!!
Minus a star because their slogan «70s, 80s, whatever we feel like» is stupid.

Where I work the radio is on ALL the time and if you listen to any amount of radio for a while it WILL make you crazy. I’ve had bad nights and blamed it solely on bad music. However, since I found MAX, it makes listening to the radio a little more tolerable. There are no DJs, just music and commercials and they never play the same song twice in a day. Their tag line is «70’s, 80’s, whatever we feel like.» It makes for a pretty eclectic mix of music.
A typical night goes as follows:
Prince, Raspberry Beret. «Sweet, turn it up»
A-​Ha, Take On Me. «Awwww YEAH! Hey, remember this song?» I work with a 19 year old and she gives me a look that says, «Dude, this song pre-​dates my birth by 2 years.» Then I feel all old.
«Nevermind. Get back to work.»
Warren Zevon, Werewolves of London. «YYYESSSSS!!!»
*At this point I have to interrupt this review to tell you just how much I love this song. I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG! Every time I hear it I lose my shit and start doing this locomotive/​werewolf shuffle. If you’re with me in public and this song comes on I AM going to embarrass you.
Matchbox Twenty, 3AM. Change it. Change it now.
It’s radio. It’s not perfect.

This station is like having your own private karaōke machine at work. I work in my little bat cave and sing to my heart’s content. Sure, the prep cooks have busted me with a spatula in my hand, wailing away to Heart’s Magic Man, but hey, a little humiliation is worth it.
All I ask is to please take It’s Raining Men, any and all Loverboy, any and all Huey f’in Lewis and any and all Jewel out of rotation and I can live life happily singing out of key and way beyond my range.

I’ve only heard two songs on this station that I don’t like. I have to credit the boyfried for «discovering» it – it is all we listen to besides NPR now. I think their tagline is «70’s, 80’s, and whatever we feel like!» It’s like playing your iPod on shuffle – random mix, but everything you love!

They truly don’t play the same songs in one day, BUT they will play the same songs every day for the week. That said, I really have nothing bad to say about the station, considering I have access to Sirius Satellite Radio and opt to listen to 95.7 all day at work.

i don’t know about you, but when my office-​mate and i are at work, we like to rock out. and when our stereo was heartlessly taken away, we thought our days of groovin to the beat were over … turns out we were wrong. with the help of the computer-​speaker fairy and a key recommendation from my sister, we can now jam all day every day, to the best radio station i have heard in years (i’m tempted to say ever, but i’ll hold back). they never play the same song twice in one day, and the tunes they bring out cover classic rock, current favorites and all the hottest hits from your sixth grade dance.

I was really sad when the Bay Area’s only country station turned into MAX FM, but I have to say that I have more fun with this new format than I ever did with the Reba they used to play. I *did* catch them playing a song twice in one day once, but it hasn’t happened again. I applaud anyone who has the courage to play Journey!
