The DO YOU REMEMBER ROCK ‘N’ ROLL OLDIES RADIO companion
Playlist

I was still in diapers when rock oldies radio hit Detroit in ’74, so my memories are understandably sketchy. So, in the interest of presenting as broad and accurate an account of the 1970s southeastern Michigan rock oldies/rock oldies adjacent radio scene as possible, I did a lot of research – reaching out to older family members, friends, and, of course, the vast resources the good ol’ inter web to fill the gaps. I hope I did it justice. Enjoy!

PLAYLIST

Thanks to MTV, a multitude of off-center acts broke through in the 1980s. Yes, once the first wave of music video superstars crested in the mid-’80s, pop radio devolved again into a wasteland of edgeless trifle. But cool stuff did still bubble through.
