Definitive Band of Your Generation

[CHeavin_2006]

Dang, I almost forgot about the Chili Peppers...

[Dudley Dawson]

Class of '94.

For my friends and I, it was Nirvana without question.

"Nevermind" dropped a few weeks before I got my driver's license, and when that happened the musical landscape changed virtually overnight. We were listening to the Edge back then, and Nirvana's harder sound opened the door to other acts and pushed the "college rock" bands like REM out of the Alt-rock spotlight. But the real difference was in the programming on more mainstream stations, like Q-102. Or how MTV's programming became a lot like an extended version of 120 minutes.

I was listening to KZEW in Waco at TSTI when it ceased operation. It just went dead. When it came back the next day it was Christmas music.

Off the air in November 1989.

I'm also a fan of Rush and Pink Floyd.

La-la-la-bella? This is W-w-walter from Waco.

I heard John Labella on the air in the metromess a couple of years ago. Somebody called in and requested Walter. John said NO.

Do you remeber when KZEW was playing Texas music before they went to rock?
