wow, haven't thought of WQDR in years. the x-teens popped into my head a little while ago, thinking of the song on mondo montage. lo and behold, i find this. rawk!

[ggc723]

What a find!! Yes those were the days, I miss WQDR and the great on air talent like Tom Guild, Daniel Brunty, Tom Gongaware. I saw a few of these bands live at what was once The Monarch in Fayetteville.

Now those were the days of true rock & roll in Raleigh. I used to listen to these bands on WQDR when radio was real, and the stations could play music that local bands made. Thanks for taking me back to college!!!

VINYL ..snap, crackle, pop !!!!

[LaJuneBaby611]

WOW! I remember all those places! Blast from the past indeed!

Thanks, for a rock down memory lane!

[rockinron2]

What a blast to see all of these segments. My pals and I played most of these bands on WQDR back in the day when you could do such a thing on commercial radio. These were great days of Triangle rock & roll.

[dogranch]

I saw the Spongetones 586,943 times. No lie. Hell I saw them do Strawberry Fields Forever 9,567 times.

[ewillhelm]

Whoah. Amazing, but where's Sugarcreek? The Vandals? Lizzy Borden! The Federal Bureau of Rock n' Roll! The Happy Eggs!

[mohairsammy]

Great stuff! I can almost smell the sweat at Friday's, the Secret Garden, etc., etc. Thanks so much for posting this. I hope this doc comes together.
