I'm relieved -- I was afraid you'd be ill at the avalanche of noms. xp to sd
"Heart of Gold" is as soft rock as they come, but how could it be excluded?

because it's played on classic rock radio

Yeah, as much as I love "Baby Come Back", I'm out if Bread and Player are in.

Climax Blues Band - Couldn't Get It RightBoz Scaggs - LowdownBoz Scaggs - Lido Shuffle
I don't necessarily want to nominate this, but driving through central Illinois last year I hit a CR station and they surprised me with Leo Sayer's "Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance)". Hadn't heard that in 20 years at least.

lynyrd skynyrd's "call me the breeze" and eric clapton's "cocaine" are both on the original list, and ec's "after midnight" was nominated somewhere along the way. does any classic rock station actually play j.j. cale, though?

Yeah, the classic rock stations I grew up with--first in London, Ontario and then in Detroit--were way more conservative than what some of you guys must've had. Like, even the Clash's big hits were something I'd never encounter on them.
― You know something? He *did* say "well, yeah" a lot. (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 17 June 2014 04:39 (ten years ago) link

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 17 June 2014 04:40 (ten years ago) link
Unless "classic rock" has been significantly redefined since the 90s, which is conceivably the last time I ever turned on a classic rock station.
― You know something? He *did* say "well, yeah" a lot. (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 17 June 2014 04:42 (ten years ago) link
