Okay, I recall TV adverts from 20 years ago for a classic rock radio station...
Showing examples of bands they would not play (heavy metal, alternative, college rock, grunge, lovey dovey crap, and country), what do they play now as "classic rock"? Heavy metal, alternative, college rock, grunge, lovey dovey crap, but thankfully no country. Yet.

You know, "Shook me All Night Long" followed by "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" just seems WEIRD.

I think they played "Shiny Happy People" recently too. :scared:

And yet they still haven't played "Love Shack" for some reason. x(

1. My local classic rock station plays Charlie Daniels occasionally
I like some of his older stuff, but since when is he rock-n-roll?

2. He was country rock and/or southern rock.
In the 70's, rock stations were the only ones playing the CDB.
