Yeah, I didn't have control of the radio either at the time. And no older siblings so it was all my parents which meant that I heard Baroque and Classical (dad) and Disco (mom). Any pop music that didn't somehow fit in with those styles wasn't played much. I think my mom, as a child, was taught that Elvis was evil (Michael Jackson and Madonna were a-ok, though) so it makes sense that the station was changed if Eddie Rabbitt was playing.
