SAM has a cold

I think SAM has been feeling ill as of late. Its throwing in its own songs and song blocks quite often, especially during the day time, and its the same bands over and over.

WASP (though i do love WASP)
Ozzy
Dio (love Dio as well)
Sabbath
Bon Jovi
Queensryche
Motley Crue
Scorpions
Tesla
Whitesnake

And a few others i can not think of at the moment but these are the main players. When was the last time SAM randomly picked oh...Pretty Boy Floyd? Lynch Mob? um....Bitches Sin or the other thousands of bands on here that never get picked? I think SAM would do better if it reached back from the "This hasnt played in ages" list and pick a few of those.

Well said.

Chris was onboard Saturday but not much has changed for the site and he left after a couple of hours.

Not sure why the new HardRockin80s.com never took off....

No idea what to do about this anymore or if anyone besides me even cares but Sam is just stuck. It keeps pulling the same bands and songs over and over. Witness Stryper and the Closing Prayer 189 minute epic song that Sam has picked multiple days lately. All the bands on here and every day, every 4 hours or whatever the time limit is, we get Bonfire, Gottard, Alice, Yngwie, the same couple of Loudness songs and when you listen 8-9 hours a day, this is getting old really fast. I realize these songs or bands were heavily weighted when they were added to the station and thats why SAM is picking them but then again, maybe not. I cant see Loudness ever being heavily weighted or Stryper but you get the idea. Im guessing Chris has checked out and just letting this thing run its course. No one has added new music to the station in a long time. I find myself muting the station several times a day because of the music SAM picks. When requests are made, this place kills. When SAM picks....not as much. I wish that wasnt the case.

Same here.

No tunes via the web player and the same error message upon request.

Site administrators have been gone from the new HardRockin80s.com for weeks.

Looks like the Day Crew Show may be victim to week 50 of 14 days to flatten the curve...

Here's a wee bit more evidence that the new HardRockin80s.com SAM has some lingering effects from the past....

Scream for me HR80s!

Herr DJ you have touched a pet peeve.

There's a TON of killer stuff on the site that SAM diligently ignores

You'll remember the great song weighting controversy from yesteryear. SAM has fallen since those values were applied but clearly there is something awry that carried over.

IMHO SAM needs an upgrade or at least some moderate tinkering. I know i have seen it on-site somewhere (but cant find it now) to where it said something like... 55000 songs from 1487 (or whatever the actual number is) artists.

So why are we getting SAM to select Alice Cooper 3 times a day now? Yngwie 1x or 2x every day. Freak Kitchen 2 times a day. No one is requesting them though i think there was an Alice song requested earlier today. SAM is not randomizing its auto picks to where its encompassing the entire artist list. Maybe there are a lot of artists that have their songs weighted so low that SAM does not pick them. I think this is a disservice. If the band is on here, then it needs to be able to be auto-picked. SAM still picks Thin Lizzy once or twice a day and i dont believe they should be on here to begin with but thats just me.

Somehow SAM needs to be adjusted to auto-pick from every artist on the station and not just ones rated 3 or higher.
