I also point out that you can tell the difference between a song that came out in January of 1967 vs a song that came out in December of 1967.

Now I couldn’t tell you if a song came out in 2024 or in 2000. There’s been no new ground broken since then.

Indeed. Musical tastes and trends among Top 40 fans in the sixties changed rapidly.

In the summer of 1965, I went to Germany for a year. The Armed Forces Network (AFN) station in Frankfurt played mostly Adult Contemporary music, which I hated, and also a show featuring Hawaiian music, Dick Sinclair's Polka Party, and Jim Pewter's Oldies show--but no Top 40. When I got back home the first thing I did was to tune in to Boss Radio 93 KHJ. The music had changed considerably from the summer of 1965, but I still loved it.
