101.RU - Rock Guitar

This online radio channel focuses exclusively on international rock music where the guitar is the primary instrument. The programming features melodic sounds from glam rock, hard rock, and pop rock, along with other related subgenres. It deliberately avoids extreme styles such as thrash metal, punk, psychedelic rock, and art rock. The core selection criterion is that the lead musical part must be performed by the guitar. The channel's curator emphasizes a sound characterized by maximum guitar presence, minimal synthesized elements, and a positive atmosphere, often described as "rock-and-roll" in style. While acknowledging the guitar's prevalence in most rock music, the channel specifically curates tracks that highlight this instrumental focus. Featured artists and songs include Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" and "Stairway to Heaven," Ozzy Osbourne's "Perry Mason" and "Tomorrow," Deep Purple's "When A Blind Man Cries" and "Highway Star," Kingdom Come's "Stargazer," Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero," and Accept's "Metal Heart." The channel also plays tracks like "Run To The Hills" by Iron Maiden and "Somebody Stole My Guitar" by Deep Purple. The programming is curated to present a specific type of guitar-driven rock, distinct from other styles that might be found on different channels, such as the music of Pink Floyd, Queen, Rammstein, or Jethro Tull.
