In a word, no.  98 lacks the variety YNF has--their playlist is all
metal and hard rock, and almost entirely current.  You'll hear Poison's
new song on	 there, assuming you wanted to, and you'll hear "Lips and
Hips" every hour on the hour, but you're not likely to hear too much
old Moody Blues, any of Bruce Hornsby's stuff or the new ones from Jeff
Lynne and David Beirweiler.  They also play just about as many ads as
95 does, and their self-promotions are downright obnoxious.  I've
flipped channels on them more than once because I don't like being told
how stupid I am for liking 95.  The "New" 98 Rock has the same format
as the OLD 98 Rock from a decade ago--something nobody seems to have
noticed yet--and the grace, wit and charm of a Smurf-metal version of
the "Power Pig."
