The 25 most-loved rock & metal stations
BY LISTENER VOTESRanked by the radio-browser community’s own votes, shown as-is. Tap PLAY and it streams here on the page; stations with real coordinates also carry an ON THE GLOBE link. Streams die and move daily on internet radio — a station that refuses to answer says so plainly, and you simply try another.
How rock & metal is drawn (and why some stations are missing)
Genre here is a curated whitelist, not the raw directory tags— the community tag field is noisy (a bulk import once flooded it with city names and junk), so LiveEarthViewer folds tags into seven families using a hand-audited pattern list. For rock & metal the patterns are: rock, classic rock, hard rock, rock and roll, rock'n'roll, indie rock, punk, metal, heavy metal, metalcore. When a tag is ambiguous, the station is deliberately left unclassified rather than mislabelled — 19,154 of the 29,309playable stations carry no genre at all, and that is the honest majority state, not a gap to paper over. A station’s own description always wins over our label.
