It's always amusing to look back at what people were buying "back in the day" and compare that to what stands the test of time today. I'm thinking MOST folks today would put numbers 16 and 33 slightly ahead of number's 10 and 17 in the following list, no? Some might rate #68 just a tad higher too. Herb Alpert was hot then..claiming 5 of the top 10 spots. Would #26 or #76 even get recorded today? Might be hard to find folks now who would rate this list the same as it was then.

I think that radio play dictates what we like/don't like a lot more than most people realize. Hear something enough, you'll eventually like it. Hear something too much, you'll eventually hate it. Never hear something at all....therein lies the problem.
