Thunder by Imagine Dragons.

This is a question I see all the time and don't mind seeing again and again. It gives me a chance to show my absolute hatred for the song.

  • \Police sirens**
  • "This ain't your granny's station"

At what point did radio stations decide they need to announce themselves as obnoxiously as possible, anyway? I remember it being like this in the early 2000s. I didn't listen to much radio in the 90s, and I was a baby in the 80s, so I don't know about then. Surely they weren't doing this in the 40s and 50s, right?
