If you want to save Surge buy more of it. I feel like I have to enforce the "no advertising" rule here...

I guess you should, Jim, as this thread e.g. is changing to a nutrition and beverage thread.

Sheesh! It's a soft drink and wasn't that popular so it's being discontinued. I, for one, had never even heard of it until you started your banner campaign.

Don't know anything about it. What is it, liquid Sugar-PLUS?

I have to take issue with the question in general. So I voted "Other".

Does it matter if the music is made by pounding stick on a rock or a dried animal skin that had been stretched over a hollow tree stump by one or a cave full of mudmen? Does it matter that the same sounds can be made today by one bony finger touching an ivory key hooked-up to all kinds of electronic magic? It's still music is it not?

What has changed is the way "music", in whatever form or genre you want to talk about, is made available to the masses. The most elemental vehicle to this end would undoubtedly have to be the reproduction of music by way of recordings. The mass reproduction and distribution of recordings by the record companies is by far the most influential aspect of this discussion. The advent of radio made the music available to the broad and varied tastes of the consumer. The rest, as they say, is history.

I would vote for radio and recording technology as the most important inventions that have affected the music we hear today.

Thank you Kev....You echoed my thoughts but said it in a way that I meant -

Well done..

I voted 'Other' Drugs AND Technology is the reason.

Ok ok ok ok ok, I'll lose the Surge banner!

I'm not actually trying to save Surge single-handedly or anything. And for the record I bought a ton of that stuff back in the day. It's been discontinued for about 5 years and only recently did I discover that there was a whole web campaign trying to bring it back. I didn't realize ya'll would be so, uh, passionate against the banner. Oh well. I really don't care, so it's not a big deal.

PS, I didn't lose it earlier 'cause it's been a while since I was last on the forums. And no I won't change something just because someone asks me to (you can't please all the people...). I have no problem changing something that the station owner asks. Totally different.
