#FlashbackFriday Top airplay on #CollegeRadio #OTD (almost) in 1971. TBH Seems to be not much different from commercial radio. Mostly major labels and established acts. Would've expected to see at least some #Reggae and #Prog (besides Yes) but I guess it would be a few more years before the "left of the dial" went rogue with #Ramones and #PattiSmith and #Television. BTW Found this on the @internetarchive, bless 'em! :-) #Music #Radio #Broadcasting #ClassicRock
