of AM radio within the next 15 years or so at least as far as music stations. Stereo had a lot to do with it as AM was mono. We suddenly started hearing songs like we'd never heard them before. Bell records, which had mostly put out mono recordings, finally around 1973 started making stereo records. It was an exciting time for music lovers. Suddenly, instead of 40 song playlists, we were listening to stations that played hundreds of songs. Today, most FM stations worth their salt in my area have playlists of over 1,000 songs. Of course today, there isn't as much great stuff to play unless you're digging into the archives. I wonder what WABC would have been like in 1971 had it been an FM station and played all those "underground" records. Maybe they wouldn't be playing Rush Limbaugh today. | |

In the spring of 1973, 3 songs were all released around the same time. They were all among the greatest tunes that these artists had put out, all of whom had many career hits. But these songs all tanked on the charts. The 3 songs were: Only In Your Heart - America I Like You - Donovan California Sago - Beach Boys I was only able to find original recordings for the last 2, which is too bad because Only In Your Heart was my favorite of the 3. These songs are never played anymore, not that they were played all that much back then...especially the last two. Anyway, here are "I Like You" and "California Saga" |

I don't know what I would have to do if I had to listen to radio where some loud mouth makes unfunny remarks cutting in after every song. I think that XM - now Sirrius XM has like over 125 stations. Each station is a specific genre - so I have like 5 is 1950s, 6 is 1960s, 7 is 1970s on up - then they also go with different rock designations, etc, jazz, classical - sports, etc. *very hurt that they discontinued the one station I liked the most, other than 50's and 60's -- it was 'Fungus' and it was hard core punk. To add insult to injury they replaced it with the 'AC/DC' station. It is totally cool in my car and I can log on with my computer at home. I am on a special now where it is only $3.95 a month - it was as high as $12.95 a few years ago, but I guess it hasn't gone over as well as they thought it would. Sometimes bad is good. I think the college radio stations became the epitomy of the FM underground and they played several songs in a row without interruption. I have never gotten good reception on the radio here though so I am happy about the satellite alternative- end jabber | |

Thanks Patrician for the Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow clip. Funny, I just recently disovered it via Pandora and gave it an entusiastic thumb's up. All this talk about music from years past makes me wish I was a little older. I still love the music, but there is a part of it that I can only experience vicariously. Oh well, I guess I'm old enough. 41 is right around the corner. Rock on! Michael |

Norway's first Music Video/35mm production from 1975 Part 1 recorded by the Norwegian prog rock band Popol Vuh (Popol Ace), written by Arne Schulze: The lead singer of the band was asked to audition to become the singer in Genesis, but refused, as he felt the band he had been part of building up was on the edge of becoming a huge success. Sadly, it never really took of internationally. |

In 1973, the US got its first taste of a group by the name of 10 CC. And while they eventually did go on to have a couple big songs in the US ("I'm Not In Love" and "The Things We Do For Love") their first single, while number 1 in the UK, didn't make a dent in the US charts, got very little airplay, and today, you have to hunt for underground college stations to find anybody who even plays it anymore. The guitar solo in this song was the result of some very clever overdubbing that I won't get into here, thus the very unusual sound. They really worked very hard to achieve it. The song..."Rubber Bullets" |

Here...Not if you listened to every radio station in the area 24/7 for the next 100 years. ** EDIT ** Did some checking, as I figured. In Canada, the song hit # 5. In the US, # 32, which means it just barely broke the top 40 for a week or so. Songs that just break the top 40 usually don't get played much after they're gone. Hell, back when it was a "hit" here, you were lucky to hear it once in a while. Guess I should have lived in Canada. | |

In 1974, Bob Dylan came out with, arguably, his best album ever...Blood On The Tracks. The album was a huge success and many of the songs got played to death. In fact, Rolling Stone Magazine recently named this, according to critics, the number 1 rock album of all time. But after the album fell off the charts, the bloom fell off the rose and you couldn't hear these songs if your life depended on it. Stations that still played Bob Dylan tunes played the standard stuff: Blowin In The Wind Like A Rolling Stone Positively 4th Street Rainy Day Women # 12 and # 35 Just Like A Woman Lay Lady Lay Knockin On Heaven's Door Most of it before 1970. This album...not a peep. So here, after over 30 years of not hearing this music, are the 3 most played songs from that album when it was the in thing to play them. Lilly Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts Idiot Wind Tangled Up In Blue We'll never have those days back again. |

wow. steven - i have loved Bob Dylan since I was a teenager and he still absolutely thrills me. Still is one of the foremost geniuses of our time... That is indeed (Blood on the Tracks) one of the few albums of his I don't have. I do have 'World Gone Wrong' - that is a pretty obscure album too, yes? In the last 5 years I bought 'No Direction Home' which is a 'bootleg' double disk with a little book - From the movie by Martin Scorsese on Dylan history - has 28 tracks - a lot of live performances and alternate versions/singles from various albums - and not one from Blood on the Tracks. Found it of all places at Starbucks - Well I know what to buy next... ... and these 3 are so bookmarked. |

In 1973, the New York radio stations were kind enough to give us our first taste of this group. They were a big hit in England but never really made it here. Today, you'd be hard pressed to hear any of their songs on any station anywhere. There were three songs from this album that were absolutely phenomenal. I was only able to find one of the studio recordings online. So here it is, from Bursting At The Seams "Part Of The Union" |

p.s. some real good news today that the miserly Warner Music Group has agreed with Youtube to release back all the stuff they locked. I just couldnl't believe they did that to so many songs - it is not like we are pirating downloads - Really irked me - right after Odessa died they yanked her hauntingly beautiful song, 'Cottonfields' - I can't wait to bookmark that again... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/30/bu...ia/30tube.html |

In 1970, a gentleman hit the scene who sounded very much like Paul McCartney. Unfortunately, he didn't have his success and hearing any of his songs, then or now, was a rarity. Shame...he had real talent. His name...Emitt Rhodes. Here are a few from his debut album. |

The stations around have always played Tangled Up In Blue. It's my favorite Dylan song, though there are several others that are close. All of these discussions about "they don't play", "it was a hit", "it wasn't", "made it here", etc. go to show how different regional hits are vs. national ones. Viva la difference! Rock on!

In my opinion, the future has never sounded as cool as in 1962: Telstar is the name of various communications satellites, including the first ever such satellite able to relay television signals. The first two Telstar satellites were "Telstar 1", launched July 10, 1962 and operational until February 21, 1963, and "Telstar 2", launched May 7, 1963 and operational until May 16, 1965. They were experimental, and nearly identical. Telstar 1 relayed the first television pictures, telephone calls and fax images through space and provided the first live transatlantic television feed. Joe Meek of The Tornados composed a popular instrumental recording, named Telstar after the satellite; it was originally performed by The Tornados and covered by The Ventures among many others. According to wikipedia, the sound effects on the record, intended to symbolize radio signals, were produced by Meek running a pen around the rim of an ashtray, and then playing the tape of it in reverse. |

I don't know how obscure they are considered, but The Zombies are one of my favourite bands of all time. I pretty much love every tune they made, playd or covered. Here are some of them: If you like this, I highly recommend that you check out the 42 track double cd called "The Singles A's & B's": Amazon.com: The Singles A's & B's: The Zombies:... (non affiliate link, I just want more people to check out The Zombies) |

I honestly don't know how obscure this band is, but I have never heard any more of their songs since these two came out back in the late 70's early 80's. The band's name is Zebra. I remembering hearing an intro on a radio station that they sound a lot like Zepplin. I have an eclectic taste in music I guess, not much of a hard rock/metal fan, but I really liked this band when they came out. Here are their two hits that I remember: "Tell Me What You Want" and "Who's Behind the Door" |

Wow...so much great stuff posted since I last visited this thread. No way can I comment on everything but thanks for some wonderful memories. Kim, Robin Mac had just the one hit as far as I knew and is rarely played these days unless you can find an oldies station. Kevin, when I first heard Zebra I thought they were a Zep spinoff. Those two songs were two of my favorites in the years they came out. Alternative stations will occasionally play these, but rarely. As for the Zombies, at least around my neck of the woods, their stuff is still being played...thank goodness. But they never really got the attention they deserved and Hold Your Head Up by Rod Argent and his band was a moderate hit at best. Anyway, I'll see what else I can dig up today. |

Detroit back in the 70s. They played so much music that never made it to the east coast. I used to listen to them at night when you could pick up just about anything. Back then, every region had its own thing. My favorite stations were from Atlanta and some little hick town in Maine. Many of the records I ended up having to hunt for came from those stations. I'm not sure how true that is today, but 30 plus years ago, it was very common to hear different songs depending on where you went. | |

Thanks for the Devo tip, had never heard of them before. I can see what you mean with the influences. Then again, The Spotnicks were influenced by NASA Or maybe they all were influenced by other stuff, like this 107 year old film: |

I've seen A Trip To The Moon on the bog screen, and it's definitely a classic. Keep an open mind when looking into Devo. Hope you enjoy them. @Kim - Not let down at all. I think Devo's philosophy fits right in. They are about the foolishness of conformity, and it could certainly be the case with the Spotnicks. They have mentioned other influences, but have never heard them mention these spacey rockers. Rock on! Michael |

Another band that had their own "visual theme" during the sixties were The Monks. They were five American GI's who met when they were stationed in Germany in the mid-sixties. They came out with an album called Black Monk Time in 1966 (I love that album title!). Though they didn't have a "space theme", they definately display some of their crazier sides. Here are some videos of them playing on german tv in 1965: |

Thanks for the video John. Haven't seen that one before. You're right, it really takes the performance to another level. If anything, I would think the yodeling and whistling would be the hardest things to dupluicate live, but it was the guitarists who were a little off at first. Not being critical, just an observation. I thought Lou and Laurie were going steady, didn't know they were married. This is the one I always liked... Rock on! Michael |

Video jukeboxes were big in Europe when I was there in the mid 80's. This song and video got a lot of play there. I don't think it got much notice in the states even though the song was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. John |

Always like Sigue Sigue Sputnik, too. I grew up in a small Wisconsin town of about 4,000 people. I had a friend that would get imports, and some harder to find records. However Love Missile F1-11 was in minor MTV rotation for a while, and I watched it non-stop whenever my stepdad wasn't home. Totally unrelated genre, but here's a performance of Bon Scott before he would go on to join AC/DC... Now that's groovy. Rock on! Michael |

Bauhaus is one of my favorite 80's bands. If you've seen the film The Hunger (David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve), Bauhaus is the band playing in the club in the opening scene. When Bauhaus split up Peter Murphy went solo, and the rest of the band formed Love and Rockets. John |

Psychobilly band, The Meteors. I got all of their vinyl when I was in Europe, but sadly I lost everything in a house fire in 1994. John |

It happens to the best of us. I made a mistake, and don't want to misinform anyone when it comes to rock and roll. While Bon Scott was IN the Valentines, it looks he's NOT the one singing on the above track. I saw the missing teeth and assumed it was him, but according to the text on the screen, it's not. This one DOES have Bon Scott on lead vocal... Oops! and Rock on! Michael |

Kraftwerk...I could write a book about this group, but here is the biggest irony of all. Much bigger in Europe (especially Germany) than anywhere else, especially in the states, this song charted ONLY in the US. I'd post Autobahn, but at 30 minutes long, it ain't gonna happen. Oh, the song that only charted in the US? One that was later adapted into several dance mixes at many clubs. Yes, this was the one that started it all Trans Europe Express. |

Here's a UK one hit wonder that actually broke the top 40 in the US (barely). John |

The flip side of Turning Japanese was Talk Talk, it was the first song I ever purchased from iTunes. Tran-Europe-Ex-Press. Kraftwerk is good. I think they charted with a single edit of Autobahn. I thought it was 24 minutes, regardless, at either length it wasn't going to do well. (I'll update shortly, I gotta go grab one of my rock and roll reference books). In the meantime... Here's Bon Scott in Fraternity. He has a beard, and plays woodwind in addition to singing on this slighty prog/Traffic sounding song. Rock on! Michael |
