ARKANSAS' REAL CLASSIC ROCK!

About Me

************************************************** We were a ROCK AND ROLL Radio Station! We played the music that inspired the musicians of today to do what they do. Classic rock has, now more than ever, become the alternative to the alternative. More young adults are discovering or re-discovering classic rock everday. You had a choice of many great radio stations and we are honored to have entertained you for 27 years. When you needed Real Classic Rock...Magic 105 was your station. Thank you for 27 years of rockin' Arkansas! Good bye. **************************************************
A Bit of what it looks like when you sync up Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" with The Wizard Of OZ"! It's kinda of freaky in some parts. Enjoy! *******************************************

Arkansas Real Classic Rock

MAGIC 105

Magic 105 signed on in August of 1980 with Jefferson Starships "Jane" and rocked Arkansas until February 2008! You woke up every morning with Sharpe Dunaway, Roger Scott and Nathan Christian, Had a Brown Bagger lunch with Tom Wood who's been with the station since DAY 1, rode home with Brother Dave then wrapped up your workday with Nights With Alice Cooper!

Heroes:

Here's just a few in NO PARTICULAR ORDER...
The Beatles
With record sales estimated at more than a billion worldwide, no other band had a greater influence on the course of rock music.
Pink Floyd
They had one of the flashiest stage shows of any band, but their music gained its most fame being used in movies.
The Who
One of the first, most successful, and longest lasting "power trios," this group was innovative both musically and technically.
Rolling Stones
The original "bad boys" of rock, they are among the most durable bands, recording and touring with few breaks since they began in 1961.
Led Zeppelin
Their Stairway To Heaven is believed to have received more radio airplay than any other song in history, even though it was never released as a single.
Eagles
Another of rock's longest-lasting acts, their 1976 greatest hits album is the biggest selling album of all time.
Grateful Dead
One of San Francisco's first "flower power" bands, their fan following is nearly as strong today as it was when the group disbanded in 1995.
Jefferson Airplane / Jefferson Starship
Pioneers of the Psychedelic Rock genre, they were in the vanguard of the counter-culture of the '60s and '70s.
The Doors
In spite of a short life and limited discography, they became one of rock's most popular and influential groups.
Moody Blues
With the exception of a few years in the mid-70s, this progressive/psychedelic group has toured and recorded since 1964.
Fleetwood Mac
After numerous personnel and musical style changes, their 1977 Rumours album is still among the top ten best selling albums ever.
AC/DC
This pioneering hard rock/heavy metal group has sold an estimated 100-million albums worldwide.
Boston
When their first album was released in 1976, it was the highest grossing debut album ever seen up until that time.
Cream
The group existed for less than three years but staked its place as one of the first and most enduringly popular of rock's "power trios."
Def Leppard
Futuristic instrumentation and vocal harmonies have kept them near the top of the all-time best selling album lists for a quarter of a century.
The Byrds
Among the pioneers of Folk Rock, their popularity in the mid-60s rivaled that of the Beatles.
Aerosmith
Originally written off as Rolling Stones imitators, the group has consistently produced multi-million-selling albums for 30+ years.
Santana
This groundbreaking Latin Rock group timed the release of its first album to coincide with a highly successful performance at Woodstock in 1969.
Blood Sweat & Tears
Virtually a small orchestra, this group established a milestone in rock history with its large horn section and jazz-blues orientation.
Van Halen
One of the most innovative and influential heavy metal groups of the late '70s, the group continues to perform some 30+ years after its inception.
ZZ Top
The self-proclaimed "little ol' band from Texas" was one of the earliest influences in Southern Rock, and continues so, three decades later.
U2
Ireland's best known rockers have been a successful fixture on album charts and in concert venues since their formation in 1976.
Allman Brothers
The success of their unique fusion of hard rock, blues, jazz, and classical music has secured this group's immortality.
Journey
Its jazz-flavored progressive rock sound has been a fixture in the rock scene since 1973.
Traffic
This group had far greater success with albums than with singles, and thrived in spite of numerous personnel changes and long breaks.
Jethro Tull
Typically considered a Progressive Rock band, they developed and maintained a sound that was completely unlike any other group's, and which isn't easy to categorize.
Foreigner
A group of back-up players got together in 1976 and formed a group that became a longtime Arena Rock and radio airplay favorite.
The Kinks
Essential Album: Ultimate Collection They maintained their popularity through the '60s and '70s by adjusting their lyric themes and musical styles as times, and public tastes, changed.
Blue Öyster Cult
Formed in the mid '60s, this metal/psych rock band had a long string of successful albums throughout the '70s and '80s.
Buffalo Springfield
The group existed for less than two years, but was considered a significant force in mid '60s rock, and launched the careers of members Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Jim Messina, and Richie Furay.
Queen
The band that put the glitter in Glitter Rock is second only to the Beatles in album sales in the UK.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
More than any other group of their time, they endeared themselves to a generation of youth with their lyric themes and eclectic variety of musical styles.
Styx
After failing to break through with Progressive Rock, this group is credited with originating the more mainstream Arena Rock sound.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
At the height of the British Invasion, they were the leading American rock band.
Deep Purple
They shuffled personnel and musical styles until they became one of the most successful bands on the concert and recording circuit.
Steve Miller Band
They paid their dues as a backup band before becoming one of the most popular groups of the '70s.
Guess Who
Canada's most popular rock band evolved from soft rock to hard from the early 60s through the mid 70s.
Steppenwolf
Essential Album: All Time Greatest Hits This Canadian heavy metal band is credited with creating the Bike Rock genre.
Yes
In spite of more than the usual number of major personnel changes, this group has had a long and successful careeer.
Doobie Brothers
They aren't actually brothers, but they have parlayed a distinctive Heavy Metal/Southern Rock blend into a 30+ year career.
Chicago
The most successful orchestral rock group formed in 1967 and is still touring nearly 40 years later.
KISS
Mix hard rock with over-the-top appearance and stage antics and you get the fathers of glitter-punk.
Big Brother & the Holding Company
Catapulted from local San Francisco band to worldwide phenomenon with the addition of lead singer, Janis Joplin and a 1967 Monterey Pop Festival performance.
Mothers of Invention
The first and formemost practitioners of successfully combining humorous lyrics and avant garde rock music.
Sex Pistols
Their short life as a punk band was out of proportion to the huge influence they had on pop culture in England.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Described by All Music Guide as "the definitive Southern rock band," they reunited ten years after the deaths of three original members in a 1977 plane crash, and still perform today.
Grand Funk Railroad
Achieved greater commercial success than any other American rock band in the '60s and early '70s.
Black Sabbath
One of the longest lasting and most successful groups is credited as the first Heavy Metal band.
We could go on and on with Hendrix, Clapton, Dylan and many others... but we think you get the idea that when you need Real Classic Rock the only choice in Arkansas is Magic 105.1FM and online at www.magic105fm.com!
