My "greats" were basically NEVER on the radio:
- Acoustic Alchemy
- Fourplay
- Gil Scott-Heron (saw him first on "Soundstage")
- Hiroshima (they did have a tune on MTV or VH-1 many years ago)
- Jean-luc Ponty
- John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Shakti)
- Kansas (as far as I know)
- Keiko Matsui
- Mojo Nixon and friends
- Passport
- Renaissance
- Return to Forever (saw them first on "Soundstage")
- Synergy (Larry Fast)
- Yanni (yes, some of his tunes are really good)
Some did put in an appearance or two:
- Deodato
- Emerson Lake and Palmer
- Herbie Hancock
- Warren Zevon
And there are a large number of "lesser" greats that I'll not bother to list.
As for radio itself... As a kid I listened to WLS or Dr. Demento and taped the
tunes on a radio/cassette deck. Later listened to classical and progressive
rock stations beaming out of Chicago. In L.A., it was KTWV "The Wave", though
these days it doesn't seem so smooth.
I mostly hear radio when in the van with the grandsons. Some stuff is pretty
foul-mouthed, but mostly to me it's just bubblegum music.
I do hear some descendants of greats stream through on SomaFM's "Sonic
Universe" channel.
