Music Is My Radar

It's the summer of 1992, I'm 8 years old, and listening to KOOL 104 Oldies from dawn til dusk. This is a formative time for my music love, and 10 songs in particular were ones I loved and couldn't wait to hear each day. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musicismyradar/support

So, it turns out I was making lists of #1 songs as far back as June 1997. Coming out of my Big Beatles Bubble that month at age 13, my musical exploration had only begun. Join me as I discuss a selection of these #1's. Almost all 1960's songs, some dorky, some stone cold all time classics.

Take a break from this awful state of affairs with Part 2 of my ongoing series In Defense of the Monkees!!
