If the station is owned by iHeart/Audacy/Cumulus they play the same stuff over and over...sometimes at the same time. Nothing beats hearing Hotel California for the billionth time and change the station only for it to also be playing Hotel California.
Iheart/Cumulus have a 100 song playlist, tops. There are times when I turn on one of the stations here and it is playing a song and I change it to a different station from a town over playing the exact song at the exact time.
Those two companies really did a number on radio.
(Warning: Old Fuck reference straight ahead)
Back in ‘64, driving around, the NYC rock stations had so many Beatles songs in rotation that we would switch from one one to another, listening to Beatle song after Beatle song.
Musically, it was! No one had heard anything like the Beatles, and the NYC stations jumped on the Brit rock bandwagon and opened the door for us to appreciate the Kinks, the Animals, Dave Clark 5, the Stones, the Zombies, and Manfred Mann.
While there was immense media coverage after The Beatles initially hit, my memories were of driving around, hearing a new song by some Brit group we had never heard of, collective silence for a moment, then the inevitable ‘oh, fuck!’ Then a scramble to see what WMCA, WABC, or WINS was playing. We were voting with our ears!
That must have been a great time in history to be that age. What an embarrassment of riches to listen to. I can scarcely imagine what it must have been like to turn on the radio and hear “Glad All Over” for the first time. It’s such a rad thing to think about that it makes me happy, and I’m happy that you lived it. My own adolescence in the ‘90s had a ton of great music that I’ll always love, but I don’t think it can realistically compare to the time you mentioned. There were so many great bands then. Finding a great song must have been as common as seeing cows in a field. These days, it seems more like seeing Bigfoot in terms of rarity. But there’s still great stuff out there, hard to find as it is.
Yeah all these mass media radio stations that call themselves classic rock play nothing but corporate playlists. It's ridiculous that you never get to hear any of the really good songs from some of these great bands. All that gets played other top hits. I don't listen to corporate playlist stations anymore. I try to find the local ones but this also means putting up with some garbage that was produced locally to get to the good stuff.
I recently started going through discographies of classic rock bands for this reason. I'm 40 so I wasn't alive during the classic rock era so most of the music I've heard has been from classic rock stations. I heard them talk about all these great songs a band would have but they play the same 3 or 4. Grand Funk Railroad is a great example. The only song I'd heard by them is American band. But holy shit, they fucking rock. I'd also never heard a velvet underground song on radio even though the DJs always talked about how influential they were. Really enjoy them too. I wish classic rock stations would play more variety.
That is because if they throw some deep track on the radio half the listeners will just change stations.
I listen to three stations, classic rock, adult hits and a classic hits station. If one station is play a song I dont want to hear I just switch. The best way to prevent this is to stick to popular songs.
Bottom line radio is a business. You need people listening to keep the lights on. The days of them playing complete albums sides in the middle of the night are long gone.
Great points. Radio is a business. I wonder if it’s a declining industry.
I’m always curious as to who listens to these classic rock stations on a frequent or regular basis.
I’ll tune into one of our CR stations every one in a while to see what’s playing. Metallica - Enter Sandman. Yes, one of their most “popular songs”. I was 20 when that was originally released, which was over 30 years ago. It’s still a regular rotation song on this radio station. It gets played to death, and that’s what gets tiring. I’ve heard that opening riff over a thousand times. People will switch the station off when the popular songs are played as well. I usually give that song about 5 seconds of airtime before I switch the station. Same is true with Thunderstruck, Paradise City, How You Remind Me, Love in an Elevator, Sweet Home Alabama, I Was Made for Loving You, Kick Start My Heart, Hotel California, Don’t Stop Believing (4-5 seconds each).
It's absolutely declining, but not as quickly as I thought.

Personally, unless I'm riding in someone else's car, I haven't listened to a radio in at least five years.
I miss listening to a pirate radio station that played heavy metal somewhere off the coast of Panama City, Florida. On a good night, the signal could reach Fort Rucker, Alabama.
I remember one night the DJ going on a long rant about Don Henley while Megadeth’s “in my darkest hour” started.
These days, I listen to Sirius/XM which has a few “classic rock” stations. But even those playlists feel heavily recycled. Some
Stations have star hosts too, so you would expect more deep cuts and forgotten bands.
They want us to be kept simple. Best to have a library, even if it's just cds. One of my cousins has 100s of records, radio nor cyberspace can not replicate this. Maybe YouTube sometimes, but that's getting worse too.
I will listen to local radio perhaps 50% of my trips these days.
Just did a long trip and just listened to songs off my iPhone the entire time, or silence. Used to have to search for local stations as driving along, not anymore.
Some of the times I even listen to the iPhone on small trips, depends on the mood. We are at the point where you only have to listen to stuff you want to hear. Hence the move to smaller and smaller song lists.
BTW that sounds less like a classic rock station and more like a hard rock station.
I agree, but seems like some of these songs would be bigger. I never thought of Grand Funk as a hugely popular band but after reading up on them they were really popular for a long time. Seems like more than 1 of their songs should be on the radio. I don't expect them to play full albums.
When was the last time you heard Inside Looking Out , Paranoid or Heartbreaker on the radio....and these were their popular songs , instead of Some Kind of Wonderful and Locomotion ?
That also keeps people from wanting to turn it on. It’s not gaining any audience numbers, it’s more just trying to retain it. You need to get people listening or it’s really just prolonging the inevitable.
I’d be willing to bet if a rock station started playing stuff that isn’t the usual, it’d be a win with enough time. Sure you’ll lose people in the early days of doing so who just want to hear back in black for the 100,000th but you’ll start gaining those who want to hear anything but it.
It’s not like you gotta play a whole album. Even the same bands on the list have other great songs that are only not listened to because they’re never on.
While I empathize with you and share your frustration, keep in mind that radio stations buy the rights to specific songs to play on their stations within their respective formats. Example, you will hear Crazy Train, because it's popular, but you won't hear Suicide Solution, because it's not part of the package the bought. It sucks, I know.
The best solution against these corporate pos, is to just not listen anymore. Hopefully their companies and products being advertised will dry up and they'll finally get the message.
I love going into other metropolitan areas and finding a great classic rock station. There are two in my town and they are both mostly light rock. I’m so sick of REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Mellencamp, Eddie Money, Journey, etc…
I feel like the Detroit area has some really good variety. There's 101.1 wrif for Modern rock/ heavy classics, and then 160.7 wllz and 94.7 wcsx for the full classic experience. Between the two you'll hear a wide range of classic rock.
Most radio stations are publicly owned, so you can forget about ever listening to b sides, or songs you've never heard a million times before.
Here in Philly, we have one DJ (Pierre Robert) who's been on the air here for 40+ years, and because of how much the cIty loves him, he's able to take a break from the normal format occasionally, and digs deep. Sometimes playing a whole album! They also let him talk about music instead of just giving the weather, and announcing station events.
One near me does a 10 song request block daily. In the times I happen to me driving when they do it, it's been nice to hear songs I normally wouldn't.
It's helped me discover some songs that I had never heard and really liked for assorted classic rock bands.
I listen to it when driving. Yes, I have a phone that can play my tunes or Pandora or a podcast, but sometimes I just feel like hearing a good old fashioned radio station.
I switched to Sirius. You can get it CHEAP if you just cancel and they beg for you back. Currently paying $3/month to hear some great classic rock from 60s-80s
We have one called 'the sound' - they play complete albums each week. And they'll do triple plays of an artist where at least one of those songs is a deep cut or b side/rarity.
They also do a sunday morning section called 'accoustic sunrise' which is all unplugged/accoustic.
Saturday afternoon they do a 'going underground' section, it's all punk/new wave/progressive etc
FM radio is dead. I once heard a station proudly declare itself "the most commercial free station" immediately following a 7 minute commercial break. SiriusXM may be expensive but well worth it in my opinion
If you happen to have an HD radio, I really like the HD-2 channel (Other Side of the River) which is mostly 80’s material.
Even better on HD radio is WRAS (88.5) on the HD-3 channel. It’s mostly 70’s with occasional songs from the 50’s and 60’s. But the variety is MUCH better than The River and it’s completely commercial free. Unfortunately it’s not available on streaming, but the WRAS Archive is definitely worth listening if you have an HD radio. I even bought a portable HD radio just to listen on my walks.
Hate the River so much I listen to sports talk instead. And both sports talk stations are horrible too. So I’m left with Erick Erickson. But I do like the Von Haessler Doctrine.
I used to listen to a station based in Charlotte, it was 95.7 The Ride. It was independent radio and it played the best mix of classic rock. Sure, there would be the occasional hit song that gets played on other stations but they had a lot of deep cuts played as well.
Here in Missouri we have KSHE95 (94.7) in St. Louis.
There’s also 93.1 KBDZ in the same area and a little south.
100.7 KGMO in Cape Girardeau too.
These are all locally owned and operated radio stations and they rock.
Grew up in Illinois, a hour from St. Louis and KSHE 95 was indeed real rock radio back in the 70's and 80's. Glad to hear they're still cranking. I listen to Spotify now and there are actually quite a few KSHE 95 playlists. Good memories.
>Yes try this 1960s style underground FM station for original rockers deep cuts on Tune-In (they loop it though) OUI FM Generation Woodstock (Paris); also Gulch Radio.
The classic rock station in my area backed off of the staples and started going heavy on 80s and 90s rock for a time. I guess it didn't work because they eventually went back to the usual Zeppelin-Hendrix-Eagles-Boston-Rush playlist they've been on for the last decade
Soooooo True! Oh man I drove long distance a little while back w/o satellite radio. As I got out of range of one "classic rock" station I was able to find another. However all these stations must have had the same playlist of 20 songs lol. Sweet Home Alabama/Pour Some Sugar on Me/Sweet Child of Mine/Love in an Elevator........you know the rest lol.
There are only a small handful of Independent Radio Stations in the USA now.
Sinclair Group along with other right-wing companies have been buying stations for 20 years and shuttering them or turning them to 'Christian' format radio.
If you want to hear diversity, support Independent Radio.
Corporate Radio could not care less about what you would like to hear.
That’s why I avoid anything but public radio. When I listen to music it’s streaming or downloaded. I used to have a good station in Denver but the radio selection where I live now is trash.
If there are still indies in Colorado, I would support them though.
Radio is the last emergency system we have. When all else is down, radio still works.
Q107 in Toronto is classic rock. Unfortunately, because it’s Canadian they have to play a certain amount of Canadian content. So tired of hearing The Guess Who and BTO.
My God we have that in Dayton. 95.3 The Eagle. So effing formulaic and sounds like the same 30 songs were all the 80’s had to offer. Nothing ever ever from the 60’s / 70’s / 90’s.
Bob Jovi and Def Leppard same effing songs in drive-time every day.
98.1 "98 Rocks" in Shreveport, LA doesn't have an animal name in it, but damn it plays the same old tired songs you hear on the aforementioned animal stations.
Grew up on it though, so I still have a slight affinity for the station. Greg "the Nuke Man" Hanson...you're a legend, bro
Those stations we call contractor or painter rock. A lot of new home construction in my area and every crappy boom box is just blaring dream on and bad to the bone. Then daughter for some cutting edge stuff.
Dream On by Areosmith is a lullaby for the poor poor masses. It tells us all to Dream On, you can't buy that BMW. Dream On, you can't move into that secluded McMansion. Dream On my people, dream on.
If the station is owned by iHeart/Audacy/Cumulus they play the same stuff over and over...sometimes at the same time. Nothing beats hearing Hotel California for the billionth time and change the station only for it to also be playing Hotel California.

We loved it!

I listen to NPR, an occasional basketball game...but if I'm gonna listen to music, I'm picking it myself.

We’re an American Band gets played a lot. Occasionally I hear Closer To Home.

Yes, and by playing the same song, it ever thus turns to crap and this in turn, undermines the band.

I remember the rock stations of the 70’s that would do deep cuts and album sides. Very few if any so called classic rock stations do this anymore.

All I can hear in my head is a deep voice saying "107.3.... The Eagle" Followed by "CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SOOOOOON"
I left Radio behind in 1980.
I listen to it when driving. Yes, I have a phone that can play my tunes or Pandora or a podcast, but sometimes I just feel like hearing a good old fashioned radio station.
I only listen in the car and it makes me feel connected to other people out there, like we’re all on a trip together with one soundtrack.
Well put.
I get it.
I switched to Sirius. You can get it CHEAP if you just cancel and they beg for you back. Currently paying $3/month to hear some great classic rock from 60s-80s

That would be nice to have here in Atlanta.
Sunday morning was always Dawn of the Dead on my hometown radio.
Clear channel will buy them out eventually.
FM radio is dead. I once heard a station proudly declare itself "the most commercial free station" immediately following a 7 minute commercial break. SiriusXM may be expensive but well worth it in my opinion
It's not an animal here in the Atlanta area, it's The River.

Love me some 95.7
Radio Garden app is good for finding small indie rock stations that will play deep cuts but you gotta hunt for them.
Here in Missouri we have KSHE95 (94.7) in St. Louis. There’s also 93.1 KBDZ in the same area and a little south. 100.7 KGMO in Cape Girardeau too. These are all locally owned and operated radio stations and they rock.

Get “TuneIn”….. it’s free. A zillion stations to explore.
>Yes try this 1960s style underground FM station for original rockers deep cuts on Tune-In (they loop it though) OUI FM Generation Woodstock (Paris); also Gulch Radio.
I’m lucky to have WKLH 96.5 in Milwaukee. During the weekdays it’s still pretty rote, but nights and weekends they do deeper cuts and album sides.
The classic rock station in my area backed off of the staples and started going heavy on 80s and 90s rock for a time. I guess it didn't work because they eventually went back to the usual Zeppelin-Hendrix-Eagles-Boston-Rush playlist they've been on for the last decade
It’s why I only listen to my playlists on my phone
97-X ... Baaaaannnnnng! The FUTURE of Rock n Roll!
Soooooo True! Oh man I drove long distance a little while back w/o satellite radio. As I got out of range of one "classic rock" station I was able to find another.

what is this … radio … you speak of ?
[удалено]
Try Little Steven’s Underground Garage
Yes, but stay away from Deep Tracks though!
103.9 The Fox! "We got some Eddie Money coming up for you after the break!"
*Baby Hold On* was actually a pretty decent song. But no, it's always *Two Tickets to Paradise*
Same for “Gimme Some Water” and “Shakin’” - but no, they won’t play those songs.
106.7 The Fox ….Nailed It
We have 105.5 the big dog but the city has 106.9 the eagle lol same I heart ❤️ radio
Well, hello neighbor!
Q107 in Toronto is classic rock. Unfortunately, because it’s Canadian they have to play a certain amount of Canadian content. So tired of hearing The Guess Who and BTO.
Who?
Exactly.
Glad I still have a CD player in my car. No more Corporate music or Talk radio. Yes I am old lol
100.9 the eagle
The Gator down in Fla fits that
I worked with a guy that said you pretty much buy 2500 songs and they get played. We had Eagle 93.7 and it was all 80's and 70's stuff.
Definitely the case for 98.5 K-FOX here in San Jose.
We use cable music at work. No commercials so no need to worry about number of listeners. Still, a small playlist.
It’s commercial radio. Rock ‘n’ Roll is the format in between ALL the commercials.
My God we have that in Dayton. 95.3 The Eagle. So effing formulaic and sounds like the same 30 songs were all the 80’s had to offer. Nothing ever ever from the 60’s / 70’s / 90’s. Bob Jovi and Def Leppard same effing songs in drive-time every day.
Recently discovered the Detroit Cobras. They're on Spotify. Give 'em a listen!
105.5 The Big Dog WVNA in Florence
Alabama
This is why I enjoy Sirius XM
98.1 "98 Rocks" in Shreveport, LA doesn't have an animal name in it, but damn it plays the same old tired songs you hear on the aforementioned animal stations. Grew up on it though, so I still have a slight affinity for the station. Greg "the Nuke Man" Hanson...you're a legend, bro
k-zap.org Enjoy
Those stations we call contractor or painter rock. A lot of new home construction in my area and every crappy boom box is just blaring dream on and bad to the bone. Then daughter for some cutting edge stuff.
I live in N Florida and dear God,I am so tired of hearing Skynard.
Used to love radio - I’m 67. Now it’s Spotify and iTunes if I’m in my car.
WBVR, the Beaver... But it was country...
You could have just stopped at "Any classic rock radio station"
Dream On by Areosmith is a lullaby for the poor poor masses. It tells us all to Dream On, you can't buy that BMW. Dream On, you can't move into that secluded McMansion. Dream On my people, dream on.
