KLPX FM 96.1
KLPX may not take a lot of risks, but there's a reassuring comfort in their mix of tried-and-true staples. The nostalgia of the music envelops the listener in a warm blanket, transporting the middle-age listener to a time when Springsteen was a prophet, and the hair that blew in the wind wasn't so thin on top. Plus, KLPX has Alice Cooper's radio show; it seems like only famous people nowadays actually have the clout to create interesting radio shows. Besides, only classic rock conveys the important lessons of Blue Öyster Cult: that the reaper is not to be feared, but that nature will, through Godzilla, point out the folly of man.
