Thinking these need to be here:
Tina Turner - Better Be Good to MeJohn Waite - Missing You
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:52 (ten years ago) link
missing beatles: "the end," or whatever you call that part of the abbey road medley
missing southern rock (though maybe this one has been lost to time, but it was huge in my youth): the outlaws "green grass and high tides"
missing neil: "like a hurricane"
missing lou reed/velvets: "walk on the wild side," "sweet jane," "rock and roll" (or was that only classic rock if you lived on a coast?)
― fact checking cuz, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:52 (ten years ago) link
maybe too "oldies," but I still hear these occasionally on "classic rock" radio:
The Yardbirds - Over Under Sideways DownThe Yardbirds - Heart Full of SoulThe Yardbirds - Shapes of Things
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 16 June 2014 19:53 (ten years ago) link
Lou was big down south too, but I don't remember hearing any Velvets on classic rock radio
― Euler, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:54 (ten years ago) link
yeah "Walk On The Wild Side" definitely needs to be on there but i am skeptical of Velvets inclusion
― some dude, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:54 (ten years ago) link
ok yeah I have heard "Eye in the Sky." good song!

Can't say I've ever heard VU on a classic rock station either.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:55 (ten years ago) link
Velvets only after CR retooled post alternative stations.

Velvets on classic rock radio might be an coastal thing only. Only Velvets/Lou song I ever heard was "Walk on the Wild Side"
― intheblanks, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:56 (ten years ago) link
I've heard them, but only "Sweet Jane," and always referred to as "Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground."\
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 16 June 2014 19:56 (ten years ago) link
Only neil I've ever heard on CR stations were the 3 in the original list. Never heard Fairport or Iron Maiden on any CR station ever.
― lauded at conferences of deluded psychopaths (Sparkle Motion), Monday, 16 June 2014 19:56 (ten years ago) link
Anyway, I've heard "Schizoid Man" a few times but I won't pretend that it's in heavy rotation or anything. Fair enough if you want to exclude it.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 16 June 2014 19:57 (ten years ago) link
idk if I'll be adding anything myself, I was kinda psyched over the original list and now the flood of suggestions I'm like O_O
but cosign Rainbow 'since You've been gone' for sure, for sure, for sure
rock on, evrahbody!!

The Kinks -- Big SkyThe Kinks -- Waterloo Sunset
i would love to live in a world where those are considered classic rock, but i don't think i do. but maybe:

Yeah, some people are privy to cooler classic rock stations than ones I've ever encountered. Waterloo Sunset? sh'yeah right.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:58 (ten years ago) link
Maybe that's too AM, memory's getting hazy

I didn't hear Velvets on the radio at all as a kid. I was super confused about the difference between Pete Townshend, The Kinks and Lou Reed and my friend's older brother gave me shit because of it. That's not something I'd forget!
Is Come Dancing on here? That's a song I definitely heard on the radio.
― La Lechera, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:59 (ten years ago) link
Only Kinks songs I ever hear: "You Really Got Me", "All Day and All of the Night", "Lola", "Rock and Roll Fantasy"
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 16 June 2014 20:00 (ten years ago) link
I've heard "Waterloo Sunset," but only once, and only on this one DJ's show where he occasionally could sneak in some rarely-heard shit.
Never heard "Rock and Roll Fantasy." Heard "Superman," "Catch Me Now I'm Falling," and "Do It Again" (as well as "Come Dancing").

The Warrior always seems like a cool song nostalgia-wise and then I hear it and it just goes on foreveeeer
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 16 June 2014 20:11 (ten years ago) link
Great song, too many refrains of the chorus.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 16 June 2014 20:12 (ten years ago) link
"Against the Wind" is the one I can't stand for that reason.

Goodbye to You is probably the Scandal song you're more likely to hear now anyway.

More Neil Toung songs too -- Old Man, Like a Hurricane, is Ohio on there? Probably others.

Heard "Old Man" by Neil Young approximately one million times on classic rock radio as a child. Feels like canon to me for sure.
― intheblanks, Monday, 16 June 2014 20:20 (ten years ago) link
Xps For a while, "Fire On High" was one of the only ELO songs you'd here down here (the others being "Evil Woman" and "Don't Bring Me Down".)

This one's borderline, I'm sure, but I've heard it mixed in between more standard classic rock fare before.
