KROQ gets credit as the very first Modern Rock radio station ever! At year's end starting in 1980, KROQ ranked the top "106.7" songs of each year, based on votes by their listeners. The 106.7 comes from their place on the FM dial.

Bear in mind, the ranking has a year·end bias, as the top·ranked songs tended to be the ones most heavily played toward the end of the year.
91X, another early Modern Rock station from San Diego, also made a listener·based year·end countdown. 91X ranked their top 91 songs each year, beginning in 1983.
