Back in the 1960s and erly 1970s I used to follow top 40 radio station station surveys very closely. I was always disappointed when a record I enjoyed didn't chart high. Years later these records wer played as oldies on stations such as WCBS-FM. Very often records became more popular as oldies than they were when they were first released.
Since 2008 countdown enthusiast Rich Appel compiles a list of records voted by listeners that should have been in the top 10 years ago. I really thank him for all the hard work he puts in compiling these all these years. A few years ago I won a 4 CD set of the top 104. Right now they are played on Rewound Radio. Here is the 34 songs that I sent to Rich:
