KMET - The Mighty MET! Los Angeles, California. The best rock station on the West Coast; maybe on the planet. Not a top 40 station, that was KLOS. "95 and a half- KLOS." They played great tunes, but, serious rockers dialed in 97.7 KMET. The best music selection - no repeats, even whole albums if the DJ was in the mood - and the greatest DJ's in the business. Every one of them had that "special FM voice" and the absolute coolest "California", "LA" personality. Very strong signal too. I could be driving the 5 north out of LA, across the grapevine, a bit north of Bakersfield before I began to loose the sound. KLOS is still around, but, The Mighty MET died sometime in the early to mid 80's. Not sure exactly when, I was serving in the USAF during the 80's and 90's; she was their when I left, but, gone when I returned home. There was just something special about FM during that era. Can't say exactly what, but, it was indeed... special.
Rock 102 WBEN Buffalo,NY 102.5. Was my favorite radio station in the 1970s. They were a top 40 station. They played great music back then. I use to live in Toronto. I found Toronto stations boring back then.
Detroit: WLLZ 98.7 (especially the summer of 95 when they went new rock), 89x, Planet 96.3, 102.7 Z Rock, 105.1 the Edge. WJBK 1500 is now WLQV, a gospel station.
My favorite station in my youth, now gone to News/Talk, was WOWO in Fort Wayne, Indiana, 50,000 watts on 1190.
