I had a feeling "Rooster" by Alice in Chains would be in the top 10.

Pretty awesome list. A good mix of really good bands. Some of my favorites are in there....Nirvana (of course), Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden....Good choices Seattle! :cool:

Awesome songs on that list!! Your radio station kicks bootay!! There are 2 rock radio stations here in Orlando who don't play 75% of those songs, so I guess it's safe to say they suck!!:mooner: :mooner:

Seattle is too far away. I never listen to KISW top 99 songs. I live in Kingston, I listen to other stations in the area like WKNY, The Cat, Kiss-FM 96.1 (not 98.7), Cool 94.3, Mix 97 and K-104/107. In the New York City area, I listened to Kiss-FM 98.7, WBLS, CBS-FM, KTU, Lite-FM, Blink 102.7 and Power 105. If I like to make a list of Top 99 songs, here it is:

That's a great list! My only complaint about the choices is that These Dreams by Heart didn't make it. That's a great song. But other than that, I think the people of Seattle made some good choices.

I just noticed that about Heart as well on the list, people seemed to forget that Heart had a career resurgence in the mid-80's after a few commercially disappointing albums in the early 80's. Heart has really been big this summer playing at White River Ampitheater (where I saw Ozzfest) and at EMP in Seattle.

Btw, Brooklynguy's list should go on the Top 1000 thread, this KISW Top 99 Seattle song list is a different list all together, but I'm still going to include your list of 80's songs!! Good selection!:cool:

Btw, the list of Seattle songs by KISW was about songs by artists from Seattle, from the Sonics in the 60's (I actually requested "The Witch") to Queensryche to Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and others.

Next Sunday, they're going to have the Top 99 AC/DC songs!!:cool:

BrooklynGuy, Nos. 31 & 75?? I love the Stylistics!!!

Captain Ablairica, looking forward to seeing that AC/DC list!!!
I wish our local stations were that cool and do something like that every weekend.
