About 2023
In 2023, KROQ’s airwaves pulsed with a raw mix of nostalgic punk, soaring rock, and introspective anthems, reflecting a year of reconnection and reflection. Fall Out Boy’s cinematic “Love From The Other Side” led the charge, while blink-182’s heartfelt “ONE MORE TIME” and Linkin Park’s unearthed “Lost” brought emotional weight. Foo Fighters’ resilient “Rescued,” Green Day’s biting “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” and Sum 41’s explosive “Landmines” fueled Southern California’s radio with passion and grit. This curated list of 106 songs, compiled from Billboard airplay data and other sources, reflects KROQ’s eclectic playlist, ranked by 2023 alternative airplay.
