What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?


I am older so my radio stations of influence were in their prime during the British invasion and many, many American singers and groups.  
The stations I listen to the most were WLS out of Chicago, KIOA out of Des Moines, KAAY out of Little Rock, Arkansas and KOMA  out of Oklahama.  When I was in the Air Froce I had a few stations near the main base I was stationed at outside of Rapid City, S.D.  
Of course systems and better and better systems and FM became the dominate source for broadcast/online music.  I did learn much of what I liked and eventually purchased through early radio listening.
I still listen to radio mainly for Jazz stations and NPR news.

Chicago in the70’s was awesome (and the 90’s)

WXRT still a good station have listened since their beginning 
TRIAD RADIO part time at night. Huge influence on my taste
THE FOX WJKL ELGIN. great station very low power signal. In the 90’S THE BEAR. Did not lsat long but a great station nonetheless 

All these stations were ahead of their time and had an tremendous influence on my musical tastes
