Contest: Classic Rock Artists I heard today

[stevel]

Ok, I listened to the radio (all local stations) on my way to and from picking up the kids from school.

It was roughly an hour total. These are all "Classic Rock" artists, and the stations were varied - so some were classic rock specifically, while others were modern pop stations that play some older stuff, an oldies station (oldies to them meaning songs from the 60s and 70s that were not hard rock), and "adult contemporary" (middle of the road, which includes "safe" classic rock).

In that hour, I heard:

5 songs by one group
4 songs by another group
2 songs each by two groups
And of course many songs by a variety of artists.

And I head "Smooth" twice, but I'm not counting that because I don't hear that every five minutes like I do the above "5" and "4" artists.

So see if you can guess who I heard.

Winner gets the privilege of knowing they are as tired of Classic Rock Radio as I am.

I quit listening to classic rock radio over 20 years ago. I'm sure they're still playing the same songs. Here in Mpls they've still got the same schmuck doing the same morning routine.

I'm gonna guess Zeppelin, Boston, The Who and The Stones.

Eagles, Journey...

Ok, I'm going to give you Zep - they were one of the artists with two songs - Ramble On and Black Dog. But I do not mind listening to them, so I'm Ok with that.

Did hear one Stones song - can you guess which one?

Boston was the other day - more than a feeling and 4play/long time. But they don't overplay Boston here (though I know some consider any Boston being played is overplaying them :-)

Very good. Heard both. Journey - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).

Do you think the Eagles were 1, 2, 4, or 5?

Holy crap. Already responded about Journey and Eagles (still looking for guesses as to how many Eagles).

Did hear Foreigner too - Double Vision (and I'm OK with Foreigner, don't really hear enough of them, as opposed to say, Bad Company).

Pink Floyd is played to death around here.

Wait, are you guessing, or just compiling the others' lists

Ahhhhh (that's the wrong buzzer sound - and too bad too - we don't have enough Floyd)

[sonicD]

Zeppelin, Tom Petty, The Doors and Boston

Can't say why, but for some reason the classic rock station here doesn't play much Stones stuff. And they only play about 5 Who numbers - I'm sure you can guess which ones. Both bands have great MID sixties catalog that the station completely ignores in favor of the same old early 70's albums over and over and over and over... talk about lame. I'd like to find the turd head that programs these stations and kick him in the ass.

5 Beatles
4 Eagles
2 Fleetwood Mac
2 Led Zeppelin

Crap, I was going to play along but even thinking about what the correct answers are is giving me a headache. Man do I ever HATE classic rock. It makes my freakin stomach turn. You know, I wouldn't want to eat steak everyday. Why on earth would I want to hear the same 25 songs everyday?
