Throwback to the music of 1971

1971 is said to mark the start of the digital age when the microprocessor was invented, it was also when Disney World opened in Florida and the New York times published the Pentagon Papers. Here in Australia Neville Bonner became the first Indigenous Australian Senator, Sonia McMahon wore a dress with slits to the White House, and Australia and New Zealand announced they would be pulling troops out of Vietnam.

Here are the songs we still love from 1971.

If you disagree with our list we will hear you out but please be aware that we may only add/change this playlist if you were announcing at RadioUNE during 1971.
