Great radio and great stations of a bygone time. No, they appealed to your taste and that of a vast majority. They played "safe". They also had a tapestry of personality, production, energy, and overall sound that now lives in our memory.MsMusicRadio said:Case in point. I love the memories of WABC, WLS,CKLW, KQV, etc. Yet when I hear old air checks, I remember they played Frankie Avalon, Annette, Leslie Gore, the Carpenters, Petula Clark along with the Stones and Jerry lee Lewis. That was a true mix and I loved it then. Back then Rick Sklar or Bill Drake told me what I liked, so I liked it. Actually loved it. Did they manipulate my tastes?
