It's amazing how much of what was played on WLIR is seldom heard anywhere else (except when I play it from my personal collection).
Now why is that?
Seems to me the songs spanned a wide swath of the musical spectrum with regard to genres and audio stylings.
Songs that fared well in the clubs also got substantial airplay not to mention the worldbeat and international flavored tracks that were featured on 'Off The Boat'.
That's what really kept me listening for all those years (until the playlist became addled by the WDRE wonks who succumbed to the Seattle grunge programming influences of the early 90's..ack!!)
To lend some credence to my claim, I've started a musical playlist ('Some LIR Musical Biscuits') HERE
Please feel free to add to the list and I'll post 'em!

In case you want to hear some of the original WLIR music and DJs, they are now on XM radio. The station is called First Wave (44).
Larry The Duck on Weekday Mornings. (He was the program director for WLIR)
Darren Smith On Saturday Morning
It's WLIR all over again.
