Got a favorite rock radio station?

Oh, thats easy!! PlanetRock!

'Whispering Bob' lives on? All those great whispered conversations on OGWT...

Planetrock or our Dutch Arrow Classic Rock. When I'm in the US we never have the radio on, only cds. Except when we were in an old s&*#box Honda, then I listened to 'The Bay' because I couldn't find anything better in that part of Maryland.

But what I really love about driving distances across country in the US is that you can find a different decent FM station more or less every 20-30 miles, one after the other. Way cool.

Gotta agree with Shred on "The Hawk", it's the only station you can get outside of Yosemite where I've been spending a considerable amount of time working the past year or more. I've been listening to them for many years, but when I'm home in the Bay Area they fade in & out. Shred, I believe they are based in Manteca, not far from Modesto. In the Bay Area all the great pioneering FM stations are long gone such as KMPX, the old KSAN when they were @ 94.9, KOME from San Jose(the KOME spot on your dial), the old KZAP in Sacto., KRQR 97.3 S.F., and the best one of all KFAT from Monterey County. Nowadays I choose from the lesser of 3 evils KFOG 104.5/SF, KSAN 107.7/SF, those 2 are sister stations along with KNBR AM/Sports talk/SF owned by Cumulus Broadcasting, KSEG/Sacto., and the new kid on the block KKSF 103.7/SF. KFAT had a format like nothing I've listened to anywhere else around the country in my travels. There's a resonable facsimile called KPIG in the same Monterey area which can be streamed online. The best way to describe them is alternative alternative radio, check 'em out online. My favorite listening is on XM/Sirius, "Deep Tracks". They play cuts you haven't heard in decades and there's always surprises like yesterday they played a cover of The Yardbirds Shapes of Things by The Allman Joys back when they were just Duane & Gregg on guitars and a bass player and drummer who didn't make it to the ABB. That's diggin' pretty deep.

As much as I love classic rock I can only handle the format for short periods at a time:

1) Stairway To Heaven
2) Free Bird
3) Aqualung
4) Stairway To Heaven
5) Free Bird
6) Auqalung
7) Stairway...

Ok a bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea. I find myself listening more and more to AM talk radio. When I want music I just play CDs or my iPod.

Probably not, if the station had a narrow playlist and primarily featured only the better known songs from the band/era and with frequent repeats. Now if there was a true, "Deep Cuts" classic rock station here, with a format more along the lines of the old AOR stations of the 70's, I'd listen for sure!

Oh yeah. Wolfman Jack. Socal am radio played it all. Cruising to the Oscar's drive in and listening to the Wolfman on the Mighty 1090. 100KW just over the border in Tijuana and it could be received at night all the way to Seattle. Those were the days! Call in a request (on the pay phone!) and dedicate it to your sweetie.
