Back in the late 60s there was free-form FM radio. Great music was bursting out of San Francisco, New York City, and London. Bell bottoms, tie-dye, and psychedelia were emblems of that generation. FM radio provided the soundtrack for some really groovy times. Fast forward 30 years.
Radio is now a wasteland.
Huge corporations have glommed on to most of the stations. Many people think that nobody is making compelling music any more because radio as a whole has become sterile and homogenous. Miami Valley listeners are quite lucky. They still have WYSO at 91.3 on their dials. There is so much amazing music being made these days.
