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.
