Welcome! Let's reminisce and enjoy a few minutes cruisin' down Memory
Lane to the tunes of our youth. You're on Blast from Your Past's Featured Radio Surveys page! Enjoy the moment ... again. Every month--50 Years Ago--a cool vintage radio survey, or music chart (depending on how you know them), Top 40, Top 30, Top whatever, is featured here to coincide with BFYP's "50 Years Ago this Month" nostalgic blog. All surveys are from the Blast from Your Past Collection unless noted as radio surveys from other great sites.

Featured Survey / MARCH 1975 ♪
March 26, 1975 in Las Vegas, Nevada, was certainly a blast--Sin City, like the rest of the country, was less restricted and more creatively daring in the Psychedelic Seventies. Well, except when it came to their Top 40 radio station's music charts. I didn't know we had such teeny-tiny type back in the day!
KENO 1460, "Collector's Issue No.15"; celebrated great Rock & Roll music, but was staunchly sober when it came to their survey. It doesn't help that I am currently sans a printer, so no scanner, and this was the best I could do to record an image with my phone. Guess I should read up on its camera. Anyway, KENO still had the top tunes, likely spinning 'round at the hand of DJs Phil Branigan, Dave Winter, and Norm Seeley. ♪ Rock On ... 50 Years Ago this Month ... and Enjoy the Moment Again!

I couldn't decide whether to turn this horizontally or leave it vertically. It's still a fun, early ad for Taco Bell no matter which way you read it. Taco Bell's first location popped up in Downey, California, this month in 1962! And yes, "Bell" was the surname of the entrepreneur, Glenn Bell.
(Sadly, the franchise is now owned by a Chinese corporation.)
