grampa Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 There were 2 or 3 on that list that I never even heard of much less heard too much of. One of the joys of being older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 "Classic Rock Radio" in general! Too much of which is hardly "Classic"...IMHO. They play those "hits" that were overplayed to begin with, and ignore some great stuff, that was on albums, or even "hits" in their own right. Some of those songs mentioned ARE "Great!" BUT...when they are (and were) played ad nauseum, they become "diluted," and lose whatever power, and even meaning, they had to begin with. 12 song rotation killed most decent rock, anyway...and ignored songs that were just as good, if not better! I remember when FM first came of age, and you heard the most incredible music, that was NEVER played on AM. Now FM might as well be "advertising jingle" music. Which is why I rarely even listen to "radio" anymore. But, to each his/her own I guess? ;>b CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those songs used to mean so much more to me. The mystique of the fourth album is gone. Misty Mountain Hop sandwiched between We Are The Champions and Beatin The Odds. I remember when I first became aware of music and FM radio. People say I have an eclectic taste for music, but I heard most of it on our local FM station back in the 70s. Can you imagine these songs played on the radio now? Ballad of TV Violence by Cheap Trick Rock and Roll Lovers by Larry Coryell Sonic Reducer by the Deadboys Back at the Roadhouse by Mackinaw, a local band Panama Red by New Riders of the Purple Sage Bastille Day by Rush Stairway was heard hardly at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yeah, those were the days...huh? Whole albums, uninterupted...for the first time. I remember buying music, from some artists, because of what I heard on their album, and NOT because of the "hit" that was played (or, in some cases, overplayed). And, you could hear where a lot of that music actually came from...the "roots" music, that AM (at least in my area) NEVER played. Good stuff! "Eclectic" is GOOD!

bluzhammer Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I can recall my favorite FM station it's playlist was advertised as album rock. I was 12 years old when it launched with Baba O'Reilly as the opening selection. That was egads.... 1974. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluzhammer Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 "Anything by Led Zeppelin"... ouch! Here's the thing, if the stations weren't so rigid in what they play ther is pretty good stuff out there. For instance "Live" recordings would be a definite breath of fresh air.

Hector Arcadius Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 The only thing worst than the list, are the comments below the songs... d|ckhead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Heck, around here "The New CORNtry" has killed most of the "Rock" stations! Depressing as that might have been, it's not surprising, when the Rock stations were playing the "same old, same old," all the time. Of course, "CORNtry" does that, too. "Radio" is getting as dismal, as TV...scary as that might be?! LOL! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
