I want to include Whitesnake's original version of "Here I Go Again" because it still makes me laugh that he used "hobo" instead of "drifter," but I know full well that shit never got played on the radio.

Did anyone else here grow up listening to NY classic rock, mainly WNEW and WXRK?
i think those two stations are right on the rock/classic rock divide that have flummoxed a lot of us in trying to remember what did or didn't get played on classic rock radio back in the day. to me, the wnew of scott muni, dave herman and carol miller was a "rock" station, playing beatles/stones/zep but also '60s AM nuggets (motown, girl groups, some actual nuggets) and also plenty of new stuff that lifted from both traditions (petty and mellencamp on one hand, smithereens and elvis costello on the other hand). wxrk, if memory recalls, came later and was much more self-consciously "classic rock," zeroing in on the zeppelin/skynyrd/acdc/vanhalen piece of the format and dispensing with anything that smelled "alternative" or "black" (and adding, of course, howard stern). i think wxrk is much truer to the spirit of this poll.
another station like wnew was boston's wbcn in the '70s and '80s, which played a ton of new wave and weirdo one-hit wonders and local rock along with the beatles and stones and phil spector and sly stone and marvin gaye, and love's "alone again or" was a staple, and i think of it as classic and as rock, but not as classic rock, and i think there's a big difference there.

metallica is a good example, i think, of a band that classic rock radio wouldn't have touched in the '80s but which has become classic with age, in a legitimate "classic" "rock" sense. "enter sandman" and "unforgiven," for example, are full-on cr staples now, aren't they? they completely belong next to foghat and edgar winter.

would the cast of Mask turn it off in disgust or turn it up man? that's my metric for CR or no. also did i hear it on the radio y/n

I'm not able to get Q104.3 to play on my browser but it does seem like a better, and much more classicist, station than CHEZ, where Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon are part of the mix. (US CR stations tend to be more classicist ime.) Wow, they like Close to the Edge! Do they actually play the title track in regular rotation?
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 16:39 (nine years ago) link
Ha, CHEZ is playing the Beastie Boys now.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 16:40 (nine years ago) link
The Q1403 was a reader request list, so maybe the baby boomers of the tri-state area loooove Yes. I've only ever heard the Yes tracks listed on some dude's original list, though I think I might have heard "Close to the Edge" on when the DJ had to go to the bathroom, or during one of their special "album sides" hours.

I'd nominate the Move's excellent "Message from the Country," but no, they never ever get played on Q-107--ditto Love (maybe once in a blue moon on "Psychedelic Sundays").
― clemenza, Wednesday, 18 June 2014 17:07 (nine years ago) link
I'll nominate it anyway:

I really wish my local cr station had a psychedelic show. Dig this playlist from WBLM* Portland, Maine's "Psychedelic Breakfast":

(and yes, they play "The blimp! The blimp!" from Trout Mask multiple times an hour but never play any Beefheart records)

Les Dudek who played on Ramblin Man is presumably somewhere in that Mask photo. I'd bet the cast of Mask were big Allman Bros fans.

Did Rainbow's 'Stargazer' ever get much US "classic rock" airplay? 'Cuz if it did, it deserves to be in there.
It's hard to participate in this part of the poll, because I have no idea what was and what wasn't played in the US on classic rock stations. We didn't really have classic rock radio here, at least not until the digital radio era.
