KeaRTH mostly plays 80's as far as I know. I don't listen to the station, but I turned over for a while and heard hits by The Police, Cyndi Lauper, Men At Work, and some other 80's songs. They did play a 1976 disco song by the BeeGees and a song by the Four Tops, but everything else was classic 80's.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-18079955924790921982014-06-09T21:35:55.883-04:002014-06-09T21:35:55.883-04:00That definition is pretty much the same here... th...That definition is pretty much the same here... they just have to play "the big three" all the damn time, though.<br /><br />I'll have to check out Planet Waves, though I doubt they'd be as destructive as THOSE waves...CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-27170431063454236742014-06-09T21:33:44.199-04:002014-06-09T21:33:44.199-04:00That woulda been SO cool...That woulda been SO cool...CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-25348482478118958912014-06-09T21:33:16.775-04:002014-06-09T21:33:16.775-04:00What is wrong with Dr Hook, pray tell?What is wrong with Dr Hook, pray tell?CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-43537238090226746372014-06-09T21:20:28.924-04:002014-06-09T21:20:28.924-04:00BROTHER MARTIN ~

Jumping The Gunne, had a disastrous showing mainly because of their choice of cover art.</i><br /><br />OK, I'm going to say it. I never saw that one before but... worst... cover... ever! (Even worse than Dylan's 'Planet Waves'.) <br /><br />And "for the record", in Los Angeles and here in Phoenix, "CLASSIC ROCK" stations play nothing but late 1960s music and music recorded throughout the 1970s. THAT is what I have always understood "Classic Rock" to be - that and almost NOTHING else (very little '80s - maybe a few songs from the early '80s, mostly by bands who were also big in the '70s - and certainly NO '90s).<br /><br />In other words, Hendrix is Classic Rock; Van Morrison is Classic Rock (even his stuffs from the early '80s); Dylan is Classic Rock, and so is David & David's 'Welcome To The Boomtown' from 1986, even though it never gets any airplay anymore ...unfortunately.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

The band leader was a short guy wearing (of course) a white sports coat and a pink carnation whose name was Bobby Vinton. That encounter with the soon-to-be famous Polish Prince and a conversation with Andy Williams in a hotel elevator in Madison, WI in 1976 are my only claims to face-to-face meetings with famous singers.gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219461694806089345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-38748981750129883102014-06-08T17:44:20.635-04:002014-06-08T17:44:20.635-04:00Chris:

Don't reme...1972 was one of my favorite years. Don't remember exactly why, but it seemed like a good year for me. I remember so much great music from that time, but judging from the songs you've mentioned there must have been a lot of kind of bad music too.<br /><br />Is "Lime in the Coconut" one of the most annoying songs ever or what?<br /><br />The fat lady flying over the bed? How did I miss that one? It must have been banned in Tennessee.<br /><br />And re: classic radio. Our local classic station used to play 50's and 60's. Last time I listened they were even playing 90's and that does not seem classic at all. That's okay though since I normally don't listen to that station anyway.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-12580546554043033482014-06-06T17:23:19.053-04:002014-06-06T17:23:19.053-04:00As much as I loved the Partridge Family, especiall...As much as I loved the Partridge Family, especially Keith, I never followed David Cassidy's music. My crush on his bro, Sean, was stronger. And though I've heard "How Can I Be Sure?" countless times, I didn't know he sang it. It's very nice. <br /><br />Have a great Friday and weekend, CW.Rawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-64567868685948467902014-06-06T15:25:50.652-04:002014-06-06T15:25:50.652-04:00Technically, "classic rock" is anything ...Technically, "classic rock" is anything that played on what we used to call "album-oriented rock" stations. Now, classic HITS can sometimes be oldies, but our "oldies" station is about .0001 % 60s, 15% 70's, and the rest eighties and even later. They even dropped the oldies for classic on their latest billboard. I think the new definition of "classic" is "What we call your era while we go ahead and play newer junk you really could care less about."<br /><br /><br />You really should google yourself up some Mrs. Miller....

The Eagle plays Classic Rock. I always thought of classic rock as being music from the 60s and 70s. Well, now it is the 70s and 80s. <br /><br />I found that insulting.<br /><br />Not because I don't love 80s music. I do. It is MY music (like the stuff you feature here is yours.) But it isn't classic. I am NOT classic. And then it occurred to me how my parents and grandparents must have felt when the music of their youth became "Oldies." Wow. That is a sucker punch to the gut.<br /><br />When 80s become Oldies I will probably cry. Or maybe I will be on those old folks who relishes being old because I can say any darn thing and get away with it. Who knows? <br /><br />Once again, I recognized a few of these by name. <br /><br />Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.com
