Probably my biggest musical ephiphany was discovering KROQ
in 1982. After years of being seeded in bloated corporate rock of the 70's,
many new radio stations (including KROQ in Los Angeles) began anew
with a fledgling new format called "modern rock". While that station (KROQ)
still owes its existence to the corporate behemoth, it was single-handedly
responsible for bringing a dearth of incredible new sounds to geeky, potch-faced
suburbanites like myself who desperately wanted more out of music than
Journey, REO Speedwagon and Van Halen could ever hope to offer.
...hearing Guadalcanal Diary's "Litany" (Life Goes On)" in 87 really made
an impression on me for some reason as well. It opened the flood gate
of fabulous college rock the peaked in the late 80's/early 90's.
