But X was never a big national act. When they got play it was on college and low-watt alternative stations. I love that song. It stunned me then. It stuns me now but the only reason I ever heard it was because I sought it out.

You're right that radio has changed. Today there are very few individually owned stations and very few deejays actually picking tunes to play. Most stuff is pre-programmed and the songs are selected by the suits who take their orders from the record companies. But then, that crap started happening in the late seventies.
