KCBQ/San Diego, California, was an innovative Top 40 station of the 1950s, '60s, '70s and '80s. Many iconic Rockin' DJs pumped up the city's surf, music, and partying communities with the best of the biz. There's even a monument to its memorable credit, with many of the dynamite Top 40 jocks' names etched in stone. Enjoy reminiscing with the August 25, 1975 music chart below and dance to the top tunes of our final Endless Summer month. ♪ Rock On ... 50 Years Ago this Month ... Enjoy the Moment Again!
