WLIR -- A Tribute (part 2)

The station that once "Dared To Be Different" is no more. Here's another audio tribute (not video) to WLIR-The New Music Station. Cheers to the voices, irreverence, humor and, most of all, the music that made it great.

Thx for the comment! I want to upload more although its just an audio thing; I have no video footage.  But I have hours and hours of WLIR audio dating back from 1983 to the present. Thought it would be a cool thing to share now that it's gone.

I miss 92.7 WLIR so badly...I was devastated when it went off the air the second time in 2004. I havent been able to find a radio station that can play HALF of what was played on WLIR. I listen to my Ipod now which has alot of what WLIR played. I go to Subculture in Amityville on friday nites and they play ALOT of the old music.

I only wish someone would bring back the music under another station...anybody hear me? All WLIR listeners are SUFFERING!! Please bring it back!

It sure brings back lots of memories. I went to Hofstra in the 80s and this was my soundtrack.

Not to mention "Unkiss That Kiss" Stephen Duffy original lead singer of Duran Duran, before Simon LeBon, and their first album.

Donna Donna, Malibu Sue, Larry The Duck and all the rest.....WERE awesome. I wonder where they are now?

[scaffoldmusic]

I totally agree. I even still have WLIR, and WDRE bumper stickers, window stickers, and Applications for the WLIR card.

It's "Amok" by the artist known as Lederknacken. I believe that is the spelling. I do have a copy on vinyl. If you have any other New Wave artist or song trivia let me know....DW
