Why are the best songs never on the radio?

I'll buy albums from bands, and the songs that are played on the radio are never as good as the other songs on the CD. What's the reason?

If you want examples, I'll give you some. Cold, Shinedown, Ill Nino, Lacuna Coil, and Spineshank.

And that's not even mentioning bands that you don't hear on the radio erm

That's not always true... But it is funny how they tend to overlook a lot of great songs..

I can think of a couple of albums where the single was the best track. Good albums too.

"best" is a subjective word. and your best is different from the best of the people who choose songs for radio stations

a lot of it has to do with clear channel and other examples of runamuck media consolidation. slip enough bills into a congressman's ass and he'll forget that according to the law, the airwaves belong to the people.
this isn't a problem in places like england where at one point you could hear the dead kennedys and sonic youth on top 40 radio

Big difference, you're attack was aimed directly at a member of these forums, my statement was not aimed at any particular member, nor any members at all.
