Yeah, some people are privy to cooler classic rock stations than ones I've ever encountered. Waterloo Sunset? sh'yeah right.

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").

― Euler, Monday, 16 June 2014 20:08 (ten years ago) link
The Warrior always seems like a cool song nostalgia-wise and then I hear it and it just goes on foreveeeer

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.

On classic rock radio?

Maybe some sort of 80's Lite FM or something.

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".)

Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin'
This one's borderline, I'm sure, but I've heard it mixed in between more standard classic rock fare before.

the other neil that seems CR canon to me is "rockin' in the free world."
and this may be a new york/LA thing, but the ramones' "i wanna be sedated" seems pretty comfortably CR to me too.

I Wanna Be Sedated is every CR station's token punk song. God Save the Queen is still a little too aggravating.

lol, heard this on the CR station while driving to work this morning and it made me raise an eyebrow
― macklin' rosie (crüt), Monday, 16 June 2014 20:39 (ten years ago) link
Used to hear both "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Train in Vain" on classic rock stations.

I hear "London Calling" sometimes.

Can't get away from these guys...
Don Henley: "Sunset Grill", "All She Wants To Do Is Dance", and "Not Enough Love In The World"
Glenn Frey: "Smuggler's Blues", "You Belong To The City", and "The Heat Is On"

This is skewed, but I live in Texas, and SRV is a Deity of sorts on our CR radio, so:

Chicago - Make Me SmileChicago - BeginningsChicago - Old Days
Chicago "classic rock" stations leaned heavily on Chicago -- sounds similar to what Grisso/McCain pointed out about Texas/SRV.

Are the Turtles/Raspberries oldies or classic rock?
― La Lechera, Monday, 16 June 2014 21:03 (ten years ago) link
I hear the Raspberries (well, just "Go All The Way") all the time, but never the Turtles.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 16 June 2014 21:04 (ten years ago) link
(on classic rock, that is)
I guess one is prob former and one latter. 60s-70s were a blur to me during my prime classic rock radio years. I was mostly a little kid.
