It's Great! It's Big!! it's radio. GreatBigRadio.com has help me heal the wounds from losing MetaRadio...[More:]
Howard Hoffman's an ex-top-40 DJ from the 70s-80s (who I've never met, surprisingly) who now makes a ton of money doing station IDs and commercials so he has made a hobby of an internet radio station that plays "the hits and the songs that should've been." And I totally love 90% of his music selection... In the last hour...

Robbie Nevil’s “C’est La Vie”
The Turtles’ “Can I Get to Know You Better”
Ray Stevens’ “Mr. Businessman”
ABC’s “When Smokey Sings”
The Hombres’ “Let It All Hang Out”
The Four Tops’ “Keeper of the Castle”
The Moody Blues’ “Question”
The Guess Who’s “Laughing”
Dunhill Road’s “Back When My Hair Was Short” (if you've never heard this one, YOU MUST)
BTO’s “Let It Ride”
Motherlode’s “When I Die”
Van Halen’s “Jump”
The Supremes’ “Nathan Jones”
The Sweet’s “Ballroom Blitz”
Vigrass & Osborne's “Mister Deadline”
The Beatles' “You Won't See Me” (what? you didn't know that was a Lennon/McCartney song?)

TOO. MUCH. FUN. (I am NOT being paid for this endorsement. It's enough that I'm trying to run up his LoudCity bandwidth bill.)
This is seriously awesome. You are my new best friend.

Awesome, thanks for sharing this station :)

Tip for anyone else who's a radio nub like me -- I didn't have any luck with any of the icon buttons underneath LISTEN LIVE NOW, but I was able to get it to work using the Stream URL in yellow in the bottom right of the page.

This is a lot of fun to listen to. It takes me back my middle childhood in the late 70s. A lot of this was the soundtrack to my grade school years, the music of the 'big kids' and adults.

This was fun! I listened this afternoon while painting. Much better than the formulaic classic rock/oldies format, and almost no ads. There are so many internet radio stations, and it's hard to find the good ones.

The scantily clad girl graphic is silly, though. If he was a DJ in that era, the model could be his granddaughter...

Somehow I missed seeing this yesterday- this is awesome! And there's even smartphone apps... this is going to be the soundtrack to my commute this week, I can tell.
