Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. The early 1970s have returned. As the nostalgia cycle swings past the ’60s, all over the airwaves the soaring spirit of the progressive era, when musicians were musicians and lyrics were mystical claptrap, is reborn.

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. The early 1970s have returned. As the nostalgia cycle swings past the ’60s, all over the airwaves the soaring spirit of the progressive era, when musicians were musicians and lyrics were mystical claptrap, is reborn.
A new 25 + male-slanted AOR oldies format insures that on some radio stations, you’ll hear your fill of Genesis, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and all the fabled giants of yesteryear. But the fabled giants of yesteryear are all over the current rock radio formats, too. For the first two weeks in June, four of the top five AOR tracks were by originals, spinoffs, or descendants of Genesis, Yes, or ELP; a couple weeks earlier, five of the contemporary hit radio Top 40 were Genesis-related.
