If you were lucky, you heard your roommate play one of the TOP 500 Songs of All Time, over and over and over and over again...
If you had your own turntable, cassette deck or CD player, chances are you were listening to one of the TOP 500 Albums of All Time.
If you were a Chief, you would only listen to Country Western music - check out the #1 CW Hits From 1971-2006.
And if you wanted to make believe you were going to get laid, you'd turn on the #1 Rythym and Blues Hits.
Or you might just listen to NBS and they played Billboard's Top 100.
