This is a thread to discuss your recollections of a time when FM was exciting.
I fell in love with FM in the late 1970s when I discovered they switched from classical, to the free-form format. Yes, there was a time when the ads were few, and the DJs played whatever they wanted. That might be the uninterrupted side of a new Steele Dan album, or perhaps some Ramones, or Tom Petty. You could hear most anything back then, provided it wasn't Top 40.
So do you have FM memories to share? What stations did you listen to? What new artists, albums, or tracks did you discover? And, if you had a particular favorite station, what format do they play today?
