Give me a few names and I'll let you know how often I ever heard them. I was the kind of kid who actually taped Casey Casem's broadcast of the AT40 on more than a few Saturday afternoons.
What you describe is still the exact same situation as today, you need to find the right station, that
might play the cool track, -once- a week. If you're lucky. But once it's over and the styles of the day have fallen out of vogue it's WAY easier for modern listeners to look back and avoid all the chaff and noise that cluttered and competed for the attention of the listeners and go right to the quality that was always just beneath the surface.
