    Thanks Ken for the WNEW love. Remembering the sultry voice of Allison Steele puts me in a good place. I loved the impromptu interviews they all seemed to have now and again. The entire staff of the station was memorable. I went to a music consortium either '78 or '79 in NYC and met the majority of the DJs, including the fore mentioned Night Bird. They actually seemed to enjoy their job and their impact they had in the musical landscape. Also met a couple DJs from WPLJ, Pat St John was one of them, and their female counterpart to Allison whose name escapes me. They discussed the "business of radio," but were able to do it their way. Which I really appreciated growing up in Morris County NJ.

      Keith’s famous Moog solo was recorded by Greg and Eddie Offord without telling Keith. He knew he was going to tack a solo on the end to make the song longer and that it was in the key of D so what is now preserved for eternity is Keith jamming in D and they overdubbed it and it sounds like a live three piece band in the studio.

    Another fine time In The Prog Seat, gents, with some excellent choices. Ken had me laughing with his 'final' Yes selection. Having noted elsewhere that my ability to genre-classify is not the best, going to bring up Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Don't usually think of Queen as a prog group but this single has experimentation (certainly for its time), a somewhat ambitious composition, and some distinctive virtuosity. While this may not be from an "outsized" album, the single certainly ranks high on the bombastity scale. Tremendous single for the band. Thanks again for your time in making the show so enjoyable.

    Age sixteen, going with a friends family from north England to Cornwall, -south-- and radio was on and played again more than once and was the track that turned me onto a band i thought perhaps wasn't for me as i was all over Purple and Zeppelin and metal at the time and the track was, -Turn It On Again, Genesis and i loved it.

    I'm not surprised that Ken and Chuck had a different experience listening to NYC radio. It was a later slice of time, but when I lived and worked in Manhattan in 1991, we were tuned in to the magic that was WNEW. That station just played great new rock with little regard to genre. or trends. Grunge was new, and you could hear that right along with new songs from Paul Simon....and Curve! Who else would play Curve for Chrissakes! But we are talking about an era when FM Radio was doing it's job and freely bringing us great NEW music all the time. WNEW was still doing that with class in the early ''90's. Back in the '70's when I was a kid growing up in Oregon, Portland's KINK had a Sunday night show called "Other Worlds of Music" which primarily played import records coming out of the UK and Europe, which included a LOT of Progressive rock, some electric folk and some electronic and space rock. So you could have an evening featuring generous samplings of bands like Ange, Gentle Giant, Gryphon, Hawkwind, PFM, Secret Oyster... so many bands! But here again, it's a bygone era when FM radio used to actually do it's job! (Is this an old guy rant? Yes.)

      I should add, so I don't just bitch and run, that as time went on I found that radio continued to bring us new rock on COLLEGE radio stations. In LA, we used to have KCRW and KXLU.. But it's still true today; new rock still comes to us on College radio.

    Thank you Pete and SOT prog crew this was such a great video so much fun talking about old time radio and the hits that came out of that and really this is what we love about Pete and what he does with these video shows on a daily basis and for me and mostly all people growing up with music on the radio this was your gateway drug to find out what the hits were and if you liked it and if you did like it then you would save up your money and go to the record store and buy the album that the song was on......of course the added bonus would be that you could hear the rest of the album but anyway here are some prog songs that were my favorite on the radio growing up:
    1. "Carnevil 9" ----- Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
    2. "Blinded by the Light" ------ Manfred Mann
    3. "Thick as a Brick" ------- Jethro Tull
    4. "Spirit of Radio" ------- Rush
    5a. "Life's been good" ------ Joe Walsh
    5b. "Walk Away" ------ James Gang (Joe Walsh) I know these two songs are not Prog but I always enjoyed them back then and to this day when they're played on the radio I never get tired of hearing them

  • @alexhamilton4084

    Prog songs on radio in the U.K. might not have been played on U.S. radio but there were some great prog bands here on bbc radio.
    1, Witches Promise by Jethro Tull,
    2, The Weavers Answer by Family,
    3, Sympathy by Rare Bird. Plus a few more.

    When I started in the 90s with music, I didn't know a thing about Prog. And none of the radio guys used the term. But there were some songs that were very different from the rest and intrigued me. The ones I remember from back then:
    1) Kayleigh - Marillion
    2) Peter Gabriel - Games without frontiers
    3) Saga - Wind him up
    4) Yes - Owner of a lonely heart
    5) Alan Parsons - Sirius
    6) The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin
    7) Genesis - Domino
    Not radio, but TV:
    Astronomy Domine - I had no idea, that this was Pink Floyd at that time. I only knew Brick in the wall. They used this song for a news show in Germany called "Im Brennpunkt". They started with morse code and then the intro to the song.

    THANK YOU, CHUCK! I heard "Dreamer" by Supertramp on the radio in my childhood, thought of that song a couple of months ago (I never was into Supertramp very much, but I always loved this song), listened to the album version and thought: No, that isn't the song I remember. I was puzzled and thought maybe they remixed it, but no. It was indeed the live version you talked about. Funny that THIS is the song they played on the radio in Austria as well. I'm so glad to be able to listen to this song again, it brings back so many memories and fuzzy feelings :) (Edit: Sorry, I thanked the wrong person first - but to my defense: I have problems recognising faces, I even mistook Annie Lennox for Dave Vanian 🙈)

    'She Flies On Strange Wings' from Golden Earring's 1971 album, Seven Tears, should've been a huge radio hit imo. The album was never given a release in the US though, which probably hurt. Oh well, still a totally badass song. They did a video for the song, with the band set up on the roof of an apartment building. The video is here on YT & is included on the band's 2002 DVD, 'The Devil Made Us Do It: 35 Years - 27 Clips.'

    In 1972, I was 10 years old and I remember hearing “O Caroline” by Matching Mole on the radio in England. It was very popular. It has one of my favorite lyrics from a love song:
    “If you call this sentimental crap you'll make me mad”.
    Loved it then and still love it now.

    In the day, "Hocus Pocus" was played on Top-40 Radio (pre-Corporate takeover).
    Generally, the edited "Roundabout" was played on these Stations. Every so often, the DJ would play the album cut...we figured nature musta called.

    I grew up hearing Carpet Crawlers, and Lamb Lies Down a lot, but my fave to hear was Chamber of 32 Doors. We had a steady diet of Dark Side of the Moon obviously and Tom Sawyer. Loved hearing Supertramp’s Fool’s Overture and the occasional Animals tune here and there!
