Adult Rock Music Meeting

At a radio station, the programming staff meets regularly to decide which new songs they're going to add to their playlist. At these "music meetings," songs are presented that many of the participants are hearing for the first time. We'll dig deep to find exciting unreleased music to play for our esteemed panel of adult rock radio professionals. Audience members and panelists alike will rate each song 1-10 immediately after auditioning each track, and discussion about their potential for radio airplay will ensue from both sides of the floor.
