A complete Live 105/Alt 105.3 Spotify playlist

 As I'm sure you've already heard, the alternative rock era of KITS is over. The station flipped in October to Dave.fm, essentially an "adult hits on shuffle" format.

Since I chronicled a period of Live 105's history with this blog, I figured I'd present this Spotify playlist I put together of the station's entire musical history from its beginnings in 1986 to its end as Alt 105.3 in 2021. It also serves as a history of alternative rock's evolution or "de-evolution," depending on how you want to look at it.

I basically started by throwing in songs that Made Live 105's year-end countdowns as well as a Memorial Day countdown the station did in 1988. It became trickier for the years 1995 and 1996, since the full countdowns aren't available on the internet. For that, I had to go through old issues of Radio & Records and posting any songs that turned up on their weekly playlists. There were some interesting discoveries there. (Live 105 played Jars of Clay? I didn't know that.)

It became trickier again after 2008 when Live 105 stopped doing year-end countdowns, so I had to go into the Wayback Machine for information on what the station played in the ensuing decade. Then the playlists became inaccessible on their archives website, and I wasn't listening as much in the last few years, so I had to rely on my memory and what alternative songs were big during that time. (It basically did become an alternative top 40 station in its last few years.)

RIP Live 105.
