Ha ha, Flower. Very funny (but thanks
).
Yeah, KMET certainly was the rock radio station of choice back in the 70's but they had lots of competition in the early 80's from fellow rock radio KLOS and the up and coming (and soon-to-be-World-Famous) New Wave/Alternative station KROQ. Ultimately it was the combination of hair band station 100.3 Pirate Radio and metal station 105.5 KNAC in the mid-to-late-80's that did KMET in for good in 1987.
But I listened to it all. L.A. radio was awesome throughout the 70's and 80's. Sadly, Pirate Radio was sold in 93 and KNAC went under in 96, leaving KLOS and KROQ as the only two stations worth listening to at that time.
I know there are other radio stations out there that were also popular like Chicago's 98 The Loop, NYC's K-Rock and Hawaii's 98 Rock to name but a few.
I always got a kick out of the 70's rockers who put radio station stickers on their guitar cases, too.
Not sure how I missed this thread until just now. I look forward to reading what everyone else has posted so far.
