That's ridiculous, KROQ has been supporting The Smiths and Morrissey ever since the mid-80's. The reason I fell in love with The Smiths is because I heard "Panic" on Kroq. They were the only station in LA to play The Smiths, not to mention The Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order, Echo and the Bunnymen, PIL, and all the other English bands from the eighties, and they've put Morrissey on heavy rotation for most of his solo career. They're very much the reason why The Smiths got national attention in the first place, and even why "Girlfriend In A Coma" and "Stop Me If You've Heard This Before" were on HEAVY rotation on MTV in 1987. Sure, after "Your Arsenal", they played less and less of the new stuff, but can you blame the station? Admit that Morrissey's material dropped off a lot and the two LPs before "You Are the Quarry" were crap.
Yes, the music they play now is mostly crap but that's because music today is mostly crap. You have your Morrissey CDs, what are you complaining about. Just turn off your radio and turn on you CD player. I mostly listen to jazz or classical if I have to listen to the radio myself.
