When did they switch - I haven't listened to commercial radio in a long time, so must have missed it.WNEW hasn't been rock in a long time.
I don't really listen to commercial radio either but it's been about 20 years. They went to "Hot Talk" around 2000 which was all shock jocks, and have changed formats a number of times since then. I think they're adult contemporary now. :XWhen did they switch - I haven't listened to commercial radio in a long time, so must have missed it.
He's on the FAN still as a fill in on weekends - the most bland sports talk guy out there. I'm shocked he's stuck around there so long because he doesn't fit in at all.and what the #### is Richard Neer gonna do with all those Beatle wigs??!? (wonder if he still sits in on the FAN?).
Duh - I was confusing 104.3 with WNEW 102.7.The classic rock station in NY these days is 104.3
let's not forget 'FMU and 'FDU ... both were free form tilters to the edgier stuffThe classic rock station in NY these days is 104.3
When I was in HS the alternative station was WDRE and K rock
ETA: and Seton Hall radio when you were lucky enough to get it to come in

Hmm, maybe I was confusing them with when I got into hardcore and punk. My bad peeps. Did you go to the anniversary show at the Asbury park convention center. I was thereSeton Hall was metal since the 80s.
I "won" tickets to see a lot of shows in late 80s/early 90s including Metallica and Kings X by being "the 10th caller" without actually calling in. Imagine the scandal when I was at the shows with the DJ that was giving away the tickets on air.
howzabout WAPP, the APPLE?Duh - I was confusing 104.3 with WNEW 102.7.
Back in the '90s it was 92.3 K-Rock when Stern reigned supreme.
and of course the Professor Scott Muni.WNEW was awesome though. I enjoyed listening to Pete Fornatell, Meg Griffin and Dennis Elsis
And who didnt want to get the led out with Aliision Steele
I did not. Can't remember why but I had a conflict.Hmm, maybe I was confusing them with when I got into hardcore and punk. My bad peeps. Did you go to the anniversary show at the Asbury park convention center. I was there
Locally they were on WLIR which was the punk, New Wave, alternative station at the time - and of course they were MTV staples.Talk of radio stations does bring up an interesting point
I dont know all of the songs that have been drafted. Its a bit before my time (born in 77)
However, I am familiar with most of them. If these songs were not played on commercial radio (in NY we are talking NEW, PLJ, HOT 97 and Z100) then where did I hear these songs. I did not move to the suburbs until 1987 so we didnt have MTV
Live from 1980. I Andy's guitar synth solo in this. And it's more evidence that nobody ever hit a drum harder than Stewart Copleland.76. “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” The Police (1980, from Zenyatta Mondatta)

I’m forced to deduct a few points for a bit of pretentiousness- “Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov”- ooh you guys are so well read! Lolita, hey I’m impressed! Lol
Other than that a flawless classic of the time period. I had this high school teacher who complained bitterly about it too: “In my day we were all about I Want to Hold Your Hand. You guys are Don’t Stand So Close to Me!” She blamed Reagan.
Z100 was hysterical with their hypes ... i remember when "Safety Dance" broke, they played it every 20 minutes, literally ("YOU'RE GUARANTEED TO HEAR IT 3 TIMES AN HOUR!!!" ) ... same with "Billie Jean", "Take on Me" ... and, ferchrissakes, "Do They Know it's Christmas?" was 4 times an hour, i #### you NOT!Talk of radio stations does bring up an interesting point

I think a lot of these songs so far are pretty accessible - with the '80s genre having become so ubiquitous, they've become commonplace on SiriusXM, TV, movie soundtracks, etc.Talk of radio stations does bring up an interesting point

Great song. One of the greatest rock albums in history is a stretch to me though.74. “Bye Bye Love” The Cars (1978, from The Cars)
https://youtu.be/iR6GDGoiO8Y
The Cars debut album is, in any genre, one of the greatest rock albums in history. There are no weak tunes on it, but “Bye Bye Love” is one of the very best.
perhaps he meant one of the greatest debuts, which it most definitely is.Great song. One of the greatest rock albums in history is a stretch to me though.

NYU had the absolute best underground rap show out there. Stretch and Bobbito. If you even liked hip hop a little, you listened to these guys. I have an unknown number of cassettes at my parents house with their shows. Only problem was that it didnt start until like midnight or 1. It was tough catch them every week.Did Columbia and NYU have stations worth listening to back then?
