Title: What is your favorite online radio station?
Post by: Generic Eric on December 21, 2004, 01:28:29 am

What is your favorite online radio station?  There is a million I suppose, but I wonder if anyone hear has any favorites?

I enjoy Rock and Roll music.  Hard Rock and Heavy Metal are among my favorites.  I also enjoy a bit of Blues, Jazz, and Rythem and Blues from time to time.  I could go on and on I suppose.

Years ago, when radio stations could simulcast on the radio without having to pay twice the royalties, I enjoyed listening to two stations from home (I am far from home now, living in a different time zone let alone a different state.  I am rambling again...
I used to listen to 101WRIF out of Detroit and Rock 103WIQB out of Ann Arbor.  103 turned into a Country station and that was how I found out.  Anywho...

After that, I found KNAC.com, which is ok, but a little heavy for my tastes sometimes. 

I had been checking out some of the songs on Launchcast for awhile and tried some of their different stations.

I am kinda looking for something from the eighties along with the Hard Rock and Heavy metal.  Not something that plays all three, but 3 diffferent ones.  All in all I am just looking to see if anyone here has some favorites.

Thanks in advance.

After checking out Kindom of Loathing, I noticed they had a radio station.  Its ok.

I don't listen to any online radio, but I used to listen to KNAC over the air when I lived in LA.    I also spent a good amount of my youth listening to 99.5 KISS out of San Antonio. They're not as heavy as KNAC and I'd actually describe them as a combo of "metal" and "classic hard rock"

Here, I just googled them and it looks like you can listen online.  The URL is:

In the last hour they've played:Metallica, Foo Fighters, Korn, Buck Cherry, Black Sabbath, Rage against the machine, Sublime and Nirvana.

I listen to that a fair bit, plus it lets me know about new metal releases (there are more than you would think!)

It's a mix station but good.
