There is no doubt that kzzp from 1985 to 1990 was the best radio station of all time. z100 and kiis from the 80s are very very close, as is some of the years in the late 60s early 70s wabc, and y100 miami from 1976 to 1984.
kzzp was playing hip hop songs like White Lines in 1985, even Ice T's colors in 1988, which just might be the first time that a chr played a gangster rap song, they were that much ahead of their time. They played so many songs in the 80s first, many months before anyone else, also many great 80s songs that should have been hits but the rest of the chrs just didn't understand them. This is also true of many dance and alternative songs as well.
If there are any airchecks of this amazing radio station online somewhere please post some links, thank you.
The imaging was always on point, great jingles(yeah z100 had them beat there), the best musically programmed radio station of all time, and the jocks were all so good, they did funny breaks with the callers, the Saturday night party patrol was some great radio.
