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!
A modest tribute blog established primarily as an homage to an 80's music broadcasting icon that sadly, is no more.. rather, it is a mere shell of its former self, no longer at its original broadcast frequency (92.7 FM) or at its famed 80's era address @1600 Stewart Ave Garden City NY. (FYI: The initial studio location was in the basement of the Garden City Hotel!) BTW: This blog is now linked HERE! (((!!CHECK IT OUT!!)))

Here's Something To Try out
Glommed from Here (Good One Sean!)
Glad my associated group were these guys..
(Um.. rather than Air Supply, Ratt or El Debarge!)
Heh.. Heh.. ;-)
What band from the 80s are you?
You're in touch with the world, and you have a very strong opinion on things like politics and war. Even if you do end up changing your image in the future, most of us will still like you.
