Hmm, strange. Restarted Spotify, no help. Could you repost the link to the playlist?
― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Thursday, August 28, 2014 10:00 AM (4 days ago)
I think maybe the playlist got changed from a public to a private one somehow? It doesn't show up in the list of your public playlists. I dunno.

Still empty. Oh well, it is a mystery as they say but no biggie if I'm the only one who can't see the tracks.

Crack the Sky! I forgot about them completely.
― carl agatha, Monday, 17 November 2014 03:28 (nine years ago) link
They regularly played somewhere that advertised on the radio a lot when I was a kid and when I see the name all I can think is the radio commercial announcer guy's manly voice saying CRACK THE SKY.
― carl agatha, Monday, 17 November 2014 03:30 (nine years ago) link
i had always assumed they were a pittsburgh thing, but wiki says they were mainly popular on baltimore radio
'from the greenhouse' is very late-floyd/queensryche with huge gated drums and a children's choir. i love it
― mookieproof, Monday, 17 November 2014 03:36 (nine years ago) link
Crack The Sky are still enduringly beloved in Baltimore (and nowhere else). they co-headlined a show with Boston recently, and the local classic rock station plays "She's A Dancer" and "Hot Razors In My Heart" pretty regularly.

Hot Razors in My Heart! Yes!
I knew some dude would have first hand knowledge of CRACK THE SKY.
― carl agatha, Monday, 17 November 2014 12:05 (nine years ago) link
OMG YES CRACK THE SKY
They were pretty much hometown boys (Weirton being only about a 45 minute drive from Pittsburgh). They were awfully popular here in the mid 70s (Hot Razors in My Heart and Rangers at Midnight especially) but their popularity didn't endure here the way it did in Baltimore.
And yes, this poll was so much fun, it makes me a little bit sad that it couldn't have lasted forever.
― The Velvet Fog called me a motherfucker (Sandy), Tuesday, 18 November 2014 04:03 (nine years ago) link
Oh, and Surf City, too. That was the song from their first album that was waaaaay more popular on Pittsburgh radio in 1975 than She's a Dancer was.

Our venerable classic-rock station here, Q-107, is in the midst of some kind of identity crisis. (Declining ratings, I would assume.) First I heard Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)" a few months back, now I'm hearing "1979" and "Creep." They've closed the gap from being 30 years behind to maybe 20. (Putting aside that there's much better stuff from the early '90s than those two particular songs..."1979"'s good.) Maybe one, two, or all three of those wouldn't be unusual on an American classic-rock station--for Q-107, they're very unusual, and, for me, egregiously wrong. Worlds colliding; if I tune into Q-107, I want to stay inside the cocoon. I'd almost rather they stick with their old idea of new music, Nickleback and such, as godawful as that stuff it is. It at least makes sense in context.
― clemenza, Friday, 13 February 2015 23:40 (nine years ago) link
That is horrid. I can't imagine WDRV in Chicago - "The Drive" - which I listen to all of the time - doing that.
― SCOTTISH PEOPLE ONLY (I M Losted), Friday, 13 February 2015 23:47 (nine years ago) link
My dream station plays everything, of course (not really; "everything" from the subset of music I love...), but there's something so sad and desperate about hearing Simple Minds and "1979" there.
― clemenza, Friday, 13 February 2015 23:53 (nine years ago) link
CR playlists seem so set in stone that there's always a tiny thrill whenever I hear something for the first time since its original release. Today -- "Jazzman" by Carole King and the Elton cover of "Pinball Wizard."
― Carly Furiosa (WilliamC), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 23:12 (nine years ago) link
A massive stone edifice with a typical CR playlist would make a pretty sweet piece of public art actually.

Why Classic Rock Isn’t What It Used To Be
(bizarrely, neither the words "lynyrd" nor "skynyrd" show up in this article, and "eagles" appears only once. some interesting stats nonetheless.)

i love this poll so much
last week i looked up the doobie brothers wiki page to find out what the deal was with them switching singers
i got the gist of it but man it's long. srsly the War & Peace of wiki pages
and i never knew they started in San Jose! i always thought they were from florida or something

I looked it up to find the Doobie version of "You Belong to Me".
It'd be hard to beat Carly or Anita anyway, but I thought MM would be up for it since he co-wrote the damn thing. Was kinda disappointed.
But hey, that pun title/bizarre photo manipulation of an album cover made up for it.
