In my car, it was WFSO the Big 560 on your AM dial Pinellas Park, Florida. They played Dark Side of the Moon the complete album when it was released, top 40 stations played only "Money" and that was six months later.
One album they played and I've always remembered this cut, was Spirit's first album released in 1968. A song called Mechanical World, it has obscure vocals, maybe that's where REM got the idea. It was repetitive, but unique, the guitar solo at about 1:20 needs to be heard in stereo with ear phones if possible.

I dig the video to begin with, and the music right down my alley.
