On the other side, Classic Rock songs you don't hear enough.

[TheGhost]

I'd have to say most definatly, anything by Guns N' Roses.  I'm lucky if I hear them once a week on the local station.  Also, Sweet Home Alabama and Detroit Rock City almost never get played, in favor of other songs from the respective groups.

[Brock Samson]

i never hear enuff BadBrains but you prolly don't either... 

[Guns N Rotors]

Anything by Joe Walsh... A local boy that done good.

[twilt]

Stairway to Heaven..........just kidding.
anything off of the Zebra 3.v cd, all good and never to be heard on radio. 
Krokus - Headhunter cd, same as above
radio sucks. dont even bother listening to it anymore except for a little sports radio.

[Carlwalski]

REAL Rock! 


Linken Park?? Creed? Oasis?!?!?!?  These bands ARE NOT real rock. Single bass beat. Rocking riff. No BS. Just soul....this is rock.


Chuck Berry, Led Zep, Black Sabbith, Deep Purple, AC/DC for ever!!! lol

Savoy Brown - Street Corner Talking
http://www.savoybrown.com/

Jeff Beck - Freeway Jam
http://www.jeffbeck.com/

Jimi Hendrix - Third Stone From The Sun
http://www.jimi-hendrix.com/

It's just as well you don't hear them enough. If you did, they'd be on the other list of classic rock songs we hate.

[Afflyer]

Yoko Ono  

[Afflyer]

How 'bout "From The Beginning" from Emerson, Lake and Palmer.  Now there's a great song.

[Brock Samson]

i was gonna say robin trower too, seen him do bridge of sighs,.. and tower of power and van Morrison at the winterland 1977!!!

Howabout Tommy Bolan you guys hip to him?.. Private Eyes and Teaser were his albums before he OD on Horse,.. and he played on some fusion records like Lenny White's Pss it On and Billy Cobham's Spectrum... awsome rythem player too... too bad he blew it..
i like the early tom petty stuff alot.. and the Jim Carrol Band they were pretty heavy.

[Shakey]

Yes

[TeeWJay426]

Early Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears, early Springsteen (pre Born in USA), early Stones, anything ELP, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, probably more that will come to me later.

[TruckDriver]

I must be lucky. I live close enough to Appleton, Wi. to pick up WAPL http://www.wapl.com/. They play everything you guys have listed on a regular basis..... Well, except Yoko Ono thank god   On Saturday nights, they have 3 hours of "Lost in the '70s", which they only play songs from the '70s. You hear a lot of rare forgotten songs occasionally. I can't wait til after new years again. Every year they will play straight 2005 (whatever the new year is) requests and requests only. Then you hear a lot of cool forgotten stuff!

I just heard recently on regular radio play;

Chicago
Robin Trower
Jeff Beck
Jimi Hendrix (always play him daily)
ZZ Top and Thin Lizzy (all the time daily)
Springsteen (pre Born in USA), (occasionally)
early Stones (reg. basis)
anything ELP, (occasionlly)
Ozzy, Black Sabbath (all the time Daily)
Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic (occasionaly - just heard it over the weekend)
Bachman Turner Overdrive - Tramp (if it's requested on Saturday nights "lost in the 70s" show)
Cheap Trick - I Want Be Man (few weeks ago on "lost in the 70s)
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel (just heard it over the weekend)
Dire Straights - Sultans Of Swing (fairly regularly)
Head East - Never Been Any Reason (fairly regularly)
Journey - Anytime (fairly regularly)
Manfred Mann - Blinded By The Light (fairly regularly)
Queen - Now I'm Here (once in a while)
Sugarloaf - Green Eyed Lady (once in a while on "lost in the 70s)
The Rolling Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knocking (once in a while)
Jump-Van Halen (regularly)
David Essex - "Rock On" (once in a while)
Boston, Queen, Van Halen, AC/DC (all the time every day)
Led Zep, Deep Purple, (every day) almost to much for my taste even

[41husk]

alan parsons project

[nh_mopar_fan]

Pat Travers

"Boom Boom, Out go the light"
"Smokin' Whiskey, Drinkin' Cocaine"

Anything by Triumph, April Wine, Shooting Star.

[41husk]

A couple people have mentioned April wine, I thought they were just a local favorite like Head East,  I remember when I was in the Navy in the early 80s I would play those two bands and no one knew who they were.

[TeeWJay426]

I loved Head East, saw them play a bar in Syracuse NY in 1980. Never made it that big in the Northeast, they were out of Iowa, I think it was? Someplace in midwestern farmland..... one of my favorite bands from that time period.

[41husk]

yep I need to get the CD flat as a pankake, and supertramp Crime of the century or breakfast in America.  Huum, Flat as a pankacke and breakfast in America, I must be gettin hungry

[Doc74]

Other Who songs, not My Generation, Who Are You and Won't Get Fooled Again, they got about 500 more and it would be nice to hear a few on the radio.
More Zeppelin, Hendrix, Cream and more of that caliber.

[Old Moparz]

How 'bout "From The Beginning" from Emerson, Lake and Palmer.   Now there's a great song.

I always liked that one too. I've seen them live 5 or 6 times, but the only time they ever did that song was when they had Cozy Powell on drums instead of Carl Palmer. He came out from behind the drums with a small set of bongos for that one.

[Lowprofile]

Boston, Queen, Van Halen, AC/DC

I'll also add Joe Cocker, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bad Company, Pat Benatar, & Eddie Money

[derailed]

I also would like to hear more older Supertramp. We have a station in Westport NY that plays nothing but B side stuff by alot of different artist. I try to listen to them anytime im up that way, problem is they probably only have a 50 mile listening radius. Im hoping they start streaming. Check out some of there lineup under album feature.

[TruckDriver]

Here's another good radio staion out of Milwaukee that is just over a year old now. They play a lot of '70s and '80s rock. AND, they have streaming air play so if you guys care to hear them, you can give them a listen.

           97.3 The Brew

[Brock Samson]

 'N 'ow about BeBop Deluxe?  anyone else into Bill Nelson?... 

   

[Old Moparz]

Hey Strat,

Those album covers always got my attention in the record stores, but I never heard what they sound like. (Be Bop Deluxe) Who were they comparible to, if anyone?

Bob

[Brock Samson]

 O.K. Now imagine if Bowie was a great guitar player with some jazz chops he might sound abit like Bill nelson who sings that blue eyed soul stuff too,..
another great album he put out in the early '80s was "Vistamix", not as "Rock" but a great collection of tracks in the "concept album" tradition.



The first album Axe Victim as a bit like the first Blue Oyster Cilt album "Secret Treaties"... another fav. of mine...

[NHCharger]

Oh man Strat, I forgot about BOC Secret Treaties. That is a true classic, back when BOC really rocked.The rock band I was in use to cover a few of those songs, Dominance/Submission, Astronomy.
BTW, Did you know that BOC's first name was Soft White Underbelly??

[Telvis]

I'm not the biggest music buff. I do like AC/DC and Pink Floyd. I don't hear them too often. Probably because I'm listening to talk radio most of the time.

[4cruzin]

I can't stand TALK radio!          I never hear much old RUSH on the radio and if I do, it's usually something off "Moving Pictures" album.   I really like the older stuff!     

[Old Moparz]

I've never heard B.O.C.'s Secret Treaties, or at least I'm not aware of it, but I did go to a bar in Northern New Jersey with friends to see Soft White Underbelly, but they wouldn't let anymore people in that night. They used to still play the bars in the early 80's under that name.

Side note on Rush, I like their first album a lot.

[nh_mopar_fan]

I just remembered another band, Foghat.

[chrisII]

Here's another good radio staion out of Milwaukee that is just over a year old now. They play a lot of '70s and '80s rock. AND, they have streaming air play so if you guys care to hear them, you can give them a listen.

                97.3 The Brew

we in southern WI seem to be verry lucky in our classic rock variety..the songs guys say they never hear shocks me. asside from "the brew" we also have "the hogg", in milwaukee playing a slightly more aggressive calssic rock format. I also get 101.5 wiba out of madison. there slogan is "classic rock that rocks"
     a song that i love , that doesnt get much play , except on "the brew" is "Honeymoon Suete"(sp) "new girl now".  for whatever reason that song neads every sterio to go to 11!   I was in my early teens in the late 80s when bands like GNR motly crue , poison, warrant ect were all popular so i miss hearing some of them, but i also like Rush and several others from the early 80s and late 70s..but im sick to death of zepplin!

[TruckDriver]

Thats why I like 105.7 WAPL out of Appleton Chris. I doubt you can get it in though. But if you took ALL of the rock stations in Milwaukee + WIBA out of Madison, you would end up with www.wapl.com Best of the old, and all the new music that rocks. AND no "Lincoln Park" sound alikes.

[andy74]

i like the 80s heavy metal,megadeth,pantera,metallica,metal church-stuff they never really played on the radio to begin with,so it isnt as much of a bother-

[chrisII]

thats what i was into as a "kid" i actually had a verry cool pirated copy of that t shirt with evertyhing but the wrighting backwards.i loved metallica until they cut there hair off an became "listner friendly" anthrax was another favorite. fut those dont really fit "classic rock" lol

  dcg i used to pick up "the rockin apple"  in my upstairs bedroom at my parents house on a boosted antenna i had. at the time i had the higest bedroom in jefferson county. my dad lives on top of the 3rd highest hill in the co and the others didnt have houses on them then. i moved to the downstairs bedroom my freshman year. so that must have ben in like 87? that i would listen to it. but any time im up north i end up finding it.

[TruckDriver]

i like the 80s heavy metal,megadeth,pantera,metallica,metal church-stuff they never really played on the radio to begin with,so it isnt as much of a bother-

WAPL plays that stuff all the time. Especially Megadeath & Metallica They really need to have streaming audio.
