R&P: Favorite Radio Station in your city?

Question

Mine would have to be KEXP 90.3 FM in Seattle. I think it might actually be the best station in the country, in fact it WAS voted as one of the best. I think its awesome because they play EVERYTHING. You name it, a lot of it is underground Rock, Hip Hop, and Country, and a lot of it is local. But they also play lesser known classic rock, world music, jazz, etc.... seriously you name and they have at least played it once.

What about you?

MQ: Name a band they played on that station?

Answer 1

Q101 (WKQX), Chicago's Alternative.

They play a lot of 90's alternative: Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Tool, Sublime, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Weezer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.

They have a local / new music program too, which I love. I found tons of great bands from it.

Answer 3

100.3 The Bear Edmonton

Plays most popular rock from the 70's to now

MQ: One of the few stations I've heard that play's Metal as well as rock. Ex: Children Of Bodom

Answer 4

I live in Seattle, and that is definitely not the best station. Seattle has the worst stations possible. 99.9 is the closest you will get to metal, and all they do is play AC/DC over and over again.

Answer 5

95.5 KLOS Classic Rock and 106.7 KROQ they play a mix between Metallica, RHCP, The Cure etc

Answer 6

WZLX Boston. They play all classic rock, plus they have "Nights with Alice Cooper" which is entertaining haha

Answer 7

If I listen to the radio, it's generally 106.7 KROQ, the local modern rock station in L.A.  I wish they played a wider variety of music, but of all the local stations I've heard, I like them the best.

mq: avenged sevenfold

Answer 13

There's 88.1 WYCE. It's an all volunteer station with the on air people picking the playlist. I like it when they get tribal, it's where my ears were opened to one of my favorites, Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Then there is 96.9, or as they call themselves, 97 WLAV. Roots firmly planted in classic rock. This month is Zeptember, a whole month of Led Zeppelin. Other radio stations in this area wish they could grow up to be LAV. It's where you go for your daily dose of comfort rock : )

Answer 14

101.1 plays mostly classic rock. (Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin)

99.3 plays rock and sometimes metal. (Alice In Chains, Tool)

Answer 15

In Pittsburgh, the station is 102.5 WDVE. They play classic rock.

MQ: Any Classic Rock Band basically, but I will have to say Pink Floyd.

Answer 16

WHUS 91.7 FM which is the station run by the University of Connecticut.  They have a pretty diverse program schedule including some talk radio.

Answer 17

92 KQRS in Minnesota... they play classic rock, '80s rock, and newer songs by classic rock artists (Scare Easy by Mudcrutch, for example)... But they play deep cuts quite often, and it's practically my iPod on steroids... :)

MQ: They seem to play Van Halen a lot...

Answer 18

93.7 "The Arrow"

My favorite station would've been 94.5 ("The Buzz") because they're the only ones that play grunge. The Buzz's only con is that they also play alot of Nickelback. 93.7 is the classic rock station around here, they've got a wide varitey of bands.

MQ: Aerosmith (they play lots of Aerosmith)

Answer 19

X96 in SLC, Utah.

MQ:Nirvana, Korn, RHCP, Jane's Addiction, Tool etc..
