Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...
Welcome, to the Fediverse edition!

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

They introduced me to so many bands over the years. And it is rare to not hear something I fall in love with any time I turn them on.
There was a time that I listened to RP now and again. I distinctly remember a barber I used to go to who had it on in his salon all the the time. They were definitley a pioneer of streaming radio and played a good mix. Thanks for the suggestion @CmndrShrm@lemmy.world
