So in an effort to unbury these nuggets from Comments, here's the first compendium post taken from comments from Ed's original post, in hopes that it will spur further thought, debate, and yearning for a time when radio really freaking mattered and we all only thought it was controlled by The Man, when now it really is.
I will kick start the new list thread with the following, entitled
"One of the Things Is Not Like the Other Ones":
Jimi Hendrix-Radio One
Steely Dan-FM
Donna Summer-Radio
X-The Unheard Music
Triumph-Magic Power
Rush-Spirit of the Radio

Wolfman of Del Rio-Terry Allen
Capital Radio One-The Clash
Turn on Your Radio-Nilsson
Let's Dance-Bowie
Nashville Radio-Jon Langford

Rock and Roll - The Velvet Underground!!! Best Radio song ever! ("Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station, You know, she don't believe what she heard at all, She started shakin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll")
The Silos - Just This Morning ("heard my favorite record on the radio.... side A! side B!")

Joy Division - Transmission
Ramones - Do You Remember Rock 'n Roll Radio?
Elvis Costello - Radio Sweetheart
Velvet Underground - Rock 'n Roll
Joe Boot & The Fabulous Winds - Rock And Roll Radio (this is a really killer)
