The Santana "She's Not There" is still one of his heavier played numbers. Which reminds me:

Does Motorhead's Ace of Spades get played on Classic Rock?

Like up to 10 times a week on St. Louis classic rock stations at least, yes

This would be another entry for making up the UK classic rock playlist. But I'm guessing probably not for the Americans?

I hear Robert Palmer p regularly on CR radio. Just heard Bad Case of Loving You yesterday and have definitely heard Sailing Shoes, etc.
I'm not sure about Vehicle (toes the line of oldies IMO) but I hope it counts bc I love that song.
I'm on zing and can't search but Joan Jett is nominated, right?
― carl agatha, Thursday, 26 June 2014 11:07 (nine years ago) link
Johnny and Mary never gets played on the radio does it
― °ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Thursday, 26 June 2014 11:13 (nine years ago) link
I am no longer on Zing and have confirmed that Joan Jett is nominated. Thank you for your time.

If you love Joan Jett, don't forget to tune into the hair metal poll that I'll be running 6 months to a year from now, where you will absolutely be able to vote for "I Hate Myself for Loving You" if you please.

The Ides of March - Vehicle
Yes! My hs marching band played this song and I still remember the routine.

Weird, I didn't know that was heard/played outside of Chicagoland.

can we have "This Is Not America" and "Putting Out Fire (With Gasoline)"? These were both in album rock rotation when I was in middle school.

I hear "Vehicle" all the time but I never knew the name or the band. thank you!

I thought about nomming it but I've never once heard it on CR radio. Feel like it must get some radio play somewhere in the US though.
― Vinnie, Thursday, 26 June 2014 15:17 (nine years ago) link
Heard "Stay With Me" by the Faces on the radio this morning and holy crap is that a great song. Too bad the Faces never really caught on on CR radio.

Robert Palmer - Sailin' Shoes/Hey Julia/Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley
the station in my Little Feat-loving region definitely still plays this

since this is ilx, every Bowie song nominated means one more Bowie song in the top 20 results

"vehicle" was a huge hit! strikes me as strictly AM/oldies though. frontman jim peterik went on to form the band survivor, of "eye of the tiger" fame. more important, for purposes of this thread, he co-wrote .38 special's "hold on loosely" and "caught up in you."
― fact checking cuz, Thursday, 26 June 2014 15:38 (nine years ago) link
would vote for many robert palmer songs if given the chance.

Yeah, knew that about Peterik/Survivor, and "Vehicle"'s great.
Another one that sprang to mind: Steam's "Na Na, Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)" -- definitely on oldies stations, but I swear I've heard it a few times on cr, too.

Those two huge Survivor songs must be CR staples, not that I can remember their titles right now.

Setting aside all the borderline and not-so-borderline non-CR oldies, what was the ruling on the 80s hard rock and party acts (post-Halen)? Dunno how many votes they'd get anyway but just IMO, Ratt and Scorpions were never part of the CR landscape.
DEFINITELY opposed to Bowie miscellaney that has never, ever been played on CR. Again, would be cool if staions said, ehh, let's pull Spaceoddity and Suffragette City out of the rotation and replace them with some cool album tracks, but to my knowledge they...don't. The poll should help us determine whether ILX prefers Foghat or Bad Company; it would not be news that ILX likes Bowie.
Lonesome Loser is a great call!
