I am in your boat as well. I grew up as a child of 70's radio (kindergarten was '75 for me). Many bands and songs got discovered hearing my uncle's POS Radio Shack Realistic FM tuner playing through his Phase Linear preamp/Dynaco power amp-based system. It wasn't bad to this (then) uneducated ear. Indeed, it is the only reason I still have an FM only tuner (modded Dynaco FM-3), which works quite well around these parts (Wichita, KS).

Alas, rock radio these days is for the most part, the same ten Guns and Roses or Metallica songs, compressed to snot, or the same Snoop Dog or Fifty Cent (c)rap songs, compressed to snot and jacked in the low end.

Thankfully, there are TWO decent NPR stations in the area. THANKFULLY!!!!

Man, I'm having some serious memories of where I was or what I was doing when I discovered certain songs, like you describe. At least I CAN still remember them!
