But when I lived in Cleveland in the mid 80s the Buzzard was NOT a great radio station, except on saturday nights, when ____ (cant remember his name) a Wolfman Jack like DJ used to truly rock the house. The rest of the time they played mostly whatever crap rock was currently on the charts. Want proof? Mr. Mister had all of their shitty "hits" played on the Buzzard. Further proof: WMMS played the ever-lovin shit out of Starship's "We Built This CIty" (one of the shittiest rock songs EVER!) and even helped identify that song with the effort to put the RnR Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The whole thing sucked ASS.

You are correct. MMS wasn't that bad, it stayed pretty hard till Malrite started losing their ass on the station (beat the hell out of listening to GCL, which was totally pop.) It did go downhill almost overnight, tho. WONE in Akron took over during the mid-80's to mid-late 90's but now they all sound the same.
I appologize didn't see Quasi had answered it first, GOOD JOB Quasi and yes in the early days MMS was a renegade station. Kid Leo and the group were greats.
And good old Martin Mull is from Cleveland also.
