....listen to
"Little bit of heaven
94.7
KMET
Tweedle-dee"?
They had some serious AOR going on in the 70's (and some equally seriously drugged-out DJs.) I think they went New Age or some crap like that once they got taken over, but that was long after I moved on to classical and KFAC/KUSC about '75, both of which were mighty fine FM stations, too. But I still checked out the FM rock scene periodically, especially when I needed some serious adrenaline rushes, like when my friends were over (I mean, I couldn't be caught listening to that old poofter Tchaikovsky with my buddies around, you know?) ;-)
KROQ was awesome as well, for the punk in all of us. KLOS was another I liked. But KMET was my preferred AOR FM station when I was a kid. Great times were had by all.
For AM, KKDJ did some very cool "Stones/Beatle Battles" in the late 60's/early 70's, which were incredible fun. Nothing but the Stones and the Beatles all weekend. Man, can I remember playing basketball with my friends all Saturday, with "Satisfaction" and so many other kick-ass tunes gettin' us all charged up for just one more game. And then another. And another. Awesome.
Shit, there you go, Abe, you got me reminiscing...... ;-)
Thanks for a cool reminder of those halcyon days of my Los Angeles youth. Very cool, indeed.
