Narps Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Interesting. I would have figured Detroit would be more Nugent and Seger country but The J. Geils Band? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Boston is playing the ’70s-era Allman Brothers six times more frequently. In a strange twist, I'm pretty certain that Boston gets played more on Reno radio than anywhere else on the planet. Literally every song from the debut is in heavy rotation.

Ancient Ways Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Can't understand why they can't figure out how to make this format awesome. You need way more "deep" cuts and songs from bands that had less hits, not just the same 25 songs from the same 15 bands. Hard to listen to this format. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verena Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Very interesting article. I knew the music industry thing, but not about these studies. I wonder about people's rock tastes at other towns around the world too. If in Kansas City people most enjoy Rush, how it will be in Sidney, for example.

Principled Man Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 My town......well, let me explain my town this way: In the early 90's, Queensryche was one of the hottest bands at that time. They came to my town during their Empire Tour, and about 3,000 out of 10,000 seats were filled. The band was literally in shock, but they put on a great show anyway. All because the hic radio stations in my town only cared about playing Zeppelin, Floyd, Skynyrd, AC/DC, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The classic Rock station in Boston, 100.7 WZLX, has recently added Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, STP, Smashing Pumpkins, Motley Crue, Def Leppard etc.. Classic Rock to me is from around '64 to the mid 80s..anything past 1985 isnt Classic IMO..and wont ever be classic, even 30 years from now. It just doesnt have the same vibe as those 60s and 70s artists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I don't care either way, I rarely listen to music on the radio. I listen to what I have in my library. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have the same vibe as 60s, 70s but it was her classics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Sometimes I wonder how someone decided a particular song fit in the "classic rock" genre. I am thinking specifically of one-hit wonder Tommy Tutone and 8675309 Jenny. It is neither rock nor do I find it particularly "classic". It was most definitely a pop song. Just because something is old doesn't make it a classic. I have a neighbor who is driving a 1985 Toyota Cressida. It's old, sure, and it was a good car in its day, but no one would drag it to a Classic Car show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing the original by Sammy Hagar. The cover made me want to puke!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtU9jWy2aWc I suggest listening to both songs. But the tune talked about here starts around the 5:55 mark. :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
