Okay, this is my first topic outside of the Seattle-Tacoma board.
My username is a clue to my age. Around 1980, I started listening to KISW and occasionally KZOK. By the mid '80s The X burst onto the scene. For years, if music wasn't played on those stations, I didn't hear it (unless watching MTV).
What I enjoyed were the DJs who seemed to actually listen to the music they were playing and of course the music itself. You could hear a Beatles song right next to Judas Priest. There was breadth and depth in what was played. Old, new, fast, slow, bluesy, and on and on. While I still listen to KISW, it's a shell of its former glory in my opinion. Same with KZOK.
Are there any stations that have true AOR vibe out there? I do listen to WDHA and WMMR online. They seem to a little more variety than KISW.
