They definitely deserved a bid to my tournament over AIC.

Flashbacks... First time I heard the intro to Loud Love and suddenly realized the guitar had been replaced by Cornell's voice 14 year old me got goosebumps, and stopped thinking about naked chicks for a good 3,4 minutes.
No celebrity death has hit me harder. Can't really recall anyone close.
Do wish they'd called the album "Louder Than Fuck", though. -
Sounds like we're about same age. First song I heard from that album was Gun on the now-deceased KISW New Music Hour (oh how I loved that show). Not even one of the best songs on the album but still was a complete game-changer for me musically. Louder Than Love became my personal soundtrack to my freshman season of football.NoWarningJustDawg said:Flashbacks...

KISW deserves own thread
When FM hit in the 70's and AOR, KISW was there
Steve Slayton and the gang
Progressive Rock
In 1969, the station was purchased by Kaye-Smith, a partnership of famed entertainer Danny Kaye and businessman Lester Smith. At that time, Kaye-Smith were also the owners of the leading Top 40 station in Seattle, AM 950 KJR.[7] The company also owned Kaye-Smith Studios in Seattle where records by Heart, Steve Miller and Bachman–Turner Overdrive were recorded. With Pat O'Day, the firm owned Concerts West, a booking and promotion company that handled Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Eagles, Paul McCartney and others, and were original owners of the Seattle Mariners baseball team.
With the purchase of KISW, Kaye-Smith decided to switch the station to a format more compatible with KJR. In 1971, KISW became a progressive rock (or "underground") station, similar to the sound pioneered by Tom Donahue at KMPX and KSAN in San Francisco.[8] KOL-FM was also experimenting with free form rock at night.
Album Rock
Over time, KISW moved to a more formatted album oriented rock sound, by playing the best selling albums from the top rock acts. In 1982, Danny Kaye sold his interest in the company and the new corporation was called Alexander Broadcasting. In 1987, Nationwide Communications, a subsidiary of Nationwide Insurance, acquired KISW.[9] (Nationwide sold off its radio stations by 1997.)
In 1991, as an April Fool's Day prank, the radio station changed its format to soft rock for a day.[10] The station was bought by Entercom Communications in 1996.[11]
In August 2000, the popular "Twisted Radio" morning show led by Bob Rivers left KISW after 11 years to join rival KZOK-FM. KISW began airing Howard Stern's nationally syndicated show in March 2001 as a replacement. At the end of 2005, Stern moved to Sirius Satellite Radio. On January 3, 2006, The BJ Shea Morning Experience (originally from sister station KQBZ) replaced Howard Stern. Over the years the station has employed other popular DJs including Crow and West, Robin and Maynard and Steve Slaton
Crow and West and Robin and Maynard were my wheelhouse -
Mom and stepdad had KISW on constantly in 80's. Loved that shit. As young kid was amazed at the many failed attempts to "Stump Slaton"

The Throbber so wanted to bone Robin. Maynard not so much..
That deep cigarette voice was hot.
Back when radio shows weren’t simulcast on TV. Because until the inter webs, the Throbber had no clue she wasn’t all that hot. Sorta but not really.
The imagination was a wonderful thing. -
This was the first grunge CD I bought. I had cassette demos of Mother Love Bone and AIC that had been given to me. But this was my first CD.
