The problem is, radio stations play the same handful of songs over and over, while the really good tunes never see the light of day.
Case in point: Another Brick in the Wall part 2.  I like Pink Floyd, but that crappy POS song gets more airplay than anything they've ever done.

Overplayed?  

Zeppelin, Floyd, et al, were not staples of radio airplay back in their day.

I can't tell you the last time I heard Dark Side of the Moon played over the radio.  If your favorite "classic rock" station is overplaying the song, then maybe you should take it up with them?

Wait a minute.  What station is this?  There's a chance I can get it down here.



Meanwhile ...

I've got a bike,
You can ride it if you like,
It's got a basket, a bell that rings, and things that make it look good...


Not that I particularly like that song, but a coworker and I spontaneously burst out in song with the above lyrics, and gathered some rather perplexed looks from our other coworkers.

Clear channel radio is to blame for this... somewhat.



I still like Zeppelin and Floyd, but I can do without AC/DC, Van Halegar, Def, etc.

No doubt. While I'm a big Floyd fan, the stations play three or four of their songs TO DEATH! Thankfully, I haven't listened to classic rock stations in a loooong time.

I disagree with most of the others mentioned in this thread, but this sir, is dead on.
They sucked in the 80's, and they still suck today. I can't believe they still play this outdated drivel.

If a classic rock station played b-sides only they would probably dominate the market in less than a week. Zeppelin for example, has some pure genius shit that has probably never been on the radio.

Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me


And make me burn the candle right down


Baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown


'Cause all you women is low down gamblers


Cheatin' like I don't know how


Baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now


This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin'


You know you know the deuce is still wild


Baby, can't stay, you got to roll me


And call me the tumblin' dice


Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry


Don't you see the time flashin' by


Honey, got no money, I'm all sixes and sevens and nines


Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider


You can be my partner in crime


Baby, can't stay, you got to roll me


And call me the tumblin', roll me and call me the tumblin' dice


Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter


Playin' the field every night


Baby, can't stay


You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' dice


Got to roll me


Got to roll me


Got to roll me

I think it's officially time to permanently retire ALL songs by the Rolling Stones. I've probably heard each of their songs 5,000 times (I'm in my mid-50's). Time to say goodnight.

The b-side.  Now, there's something that's lost in today's world.

Some of my favorite songs are b-sides that never appeared on an album until years after a band's heyday.


Don't know about dominating markets, but I do know what music I like.

No I don't, I like all of those bands. We do not have a station around here that plays the same shit over and over and if I don't like what I'm hearing I change channels.

Unlike here bitching at the radio solves nothing. Wait, it solves nothing here either.

I think classic rock radio is long overdue for a shake up.

First it was hits, then it was B sides with a few deep album cuts thrown in.

They need to go to an all deep album cut format.

No more "Whole Lotta Love"  or "Communication Breakdown".

Side two of "Physical Graffiti".

Or, it could go away altogether and the world would be a better place

"I'm sorry, Sir.  We can't play anything produced before 1990. Why don't you go home and listen to your 8 tracks Pops".

The problem with Boston is all their songs sound the same.

Meatloaf had the same problem. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" definitely stands out above the rest of his music, but too much of it sounds like the same song.

Syd Barrett's finest lyrics.....

An Effervescing Elephant
with tiny eyes and great big trunk
once whispered to the tiny ear
the ear of one inferior
that by next June he'd die, oh yeah!
because the tiger would roam.
The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home!
and every time I hear a growl
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
and I'll be really safe, you know
the elephant he told me so."
Everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
and the message was spread
to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
who wallowed in the mud and chewed
his spicy hippo-plankton food
and tended to ignore the word
preferring to survey a herd
of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
And all the jungle took fright,
and ran around for all the day and the night
but all in vain, because, you see,
the tiger came and said: "Who me?!
You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you.
I'd much prefer something to chew
and you're all to scant." oh yeah!
He ate the Elephant
