Golden Age of FM radio--anyone know where I can hear great examples of late 60s-70s broadcasts?

(/me tries URLs in BBcode, part the third.)

A first pass of Google reminds me that WFMU has an occasional show called Aircheck. Here are some episodes that might fit your question; each is archived on the site in RealAudio:

* September 22, 2005: On 8/28/69, WFMU's air staff walked out, thus stalling the inevitable rise of loopy freeform broadcasting by at least ten years. Presented here is FMU's final night on the air featuring DJ's Kevin Taylor and MC5/Doors/Stooges/Ramones manager Danny Fields.

* September 18, 2003: The Sex Pistols, on eve of their '78 self-destruction in SF, on KSAN. INSANE elegy to punk icon GG Allin. "Paul McCartney Is Dead" speculation from '69, the legendary Rosco (aka Bill Mercer) departs his microphone on WOR.

* September 4, 2003: In 1968, Frank Zappa was one freaky Mother, and SF's KSAN was pioneering serious freeform radio. Tonight, Zappa sits in with the Freeform granddaddy of us all, KSAN's Tom Donahue. Their conversation gets wily & contentious at times, and iconoclastic.

* August 28, 2003: Monica presents a full hour of the late NYC radio legend Frankie Crocker, one of the flashiest and most flamboyant radio personalities ever.

* July 10, 2003: DJ Spoke, a psychedelic version of the Mad Daddy, on WLS-FM in Chicago, circa 1968. Spoke was a deep-voiced biker personality rapping through heavy reverb who played some insanely heavy acid jams.

weird, I responded to this.
