The station has released several original coimpilations of music, most notably their annual Christmas charity albums presented by Kevin and Bean. | |||
==Weezer-friendly== | |||
KROQ has been, from virtually day one, very accomodating to LA-based Weezer. Some feel that the station holds almost as much influence as MTV in breaking new artists, and that Weezer benefitted greatly from their championing of early singles such as "[[Undone]]" and "[[Buddy Holly]]". The band has appeared on two of the Christmas CDs: ''[[Kevin and Bean: The Real Slim Santa]]'' and ''[[Kevin and Bean: Swallow My Eggnog]]''. | |||
