Does anyone else besides me think that The Ride is the best Classic Rock terrestrial radio station out there? They are in a lot of cities and play things you never hear on any other stations. I don't have XM in my wife's car so when I drive it I always listen to it.
The other day they played an Iron Butterfly song that wasn't In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.
I never heard of it. You said the station was in several markets I doubt there is any good stations of any kind out there anymore. All radio stations have one format: Per hour: 6 songs, 40 minutes of car commercials screaming in your ear, and 10 minutes of DJ or DJs talking about nothing interesting.
When I travel and rent a car, they usually have XM radio. I notice even XM has commericals now. All screaming BIGGEST BEST GREATEST SALE YET (I guess all the other sales were fake) and I have to just hit the button. I find myself with my finger on the scan button more then on the steering wheel.
All radio sucks today. When they do play a song it will just be the same 20 play set every day. I dont know whats so hard about playing something different? Its all computerized. Just hit another damn button you radio stations !!

Love it!! We have it here in Charlotte, 95.7. They just don't play the standards, they take advantage of a bands catalog. Heard a rare one from Billy Joel yesterday followed w/ a rare cut of Wish You Were Here live. Also a never heard recent version of You Really Got Me by Ray Davies that was all jazzed up. They are good at stacking the tracks w/ rare stuff and not getting unlistenable like XM 40 Deep Tracks can at times.
Anybody remember Joey Reynolds on WKBW in Buffalo, early 60's? Rod Roddy, later the announcer on daytime game shows, was also a DJ there in those days. WKBW had a powerfull directional signal to the east, and it was the top rated nightime station in Albany and Boson.
In the above link, scroll down to the second profile, then click "listern to Joey Reynolds here". This is the aircheck wheer he plays a Kent cigarette ad, then later tells kinds to smoke.

Is there any way to get it on the internet? I can't get it hear in Georgia
Growing up near CHI-TOWN, there were some really great stations, always played off the wall tracs- The best. Don't know of any stations out there anymore but will def check out THE RIDE
I surely miss the old rock station, WNEW FM in NY. They were great back in the 70's. They had DJ's you could actually enjoy.
