CCR's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" has Fogerty's best solo EVER. I'm hearing it more and more on XM Radio and I'm loving it, not wishing it would never be played again.

I can kinda see where they're coming from in that while I love a lot of these songs... hearing them over and over and over again can make them get pretty old. 

Not sure what point they were trying to make with their comments on Sweet Home Alabama, however. Ronnie van Zant wasn't telling Neil Young to take his anti-racist views back north of the Mason-Dixon Line. He was simply responding to the words in Neil's songs "Southern Man" and "Alabama", which he felt unfairly painted the entirety of the South as a land of racist hicks.

Lynyrd Skynyrd weren't saying they supported racism. They were saying, "We can handle the race problem ourselves and don't assume that all white southerners are racist.".

All of the songs are my faves. How dare they say they never wish to listen to these songs?? I can't believe it

Some songs are overplayed by classic rock radio.

All songs on classic rock radio are overplayed.  They only play about 500 songs - the same 500 songs over and over.  After 30+ years of listening to classic rock radio, I really wish they would dig a little deeper into the catalogs.  There are so many great tunes that they never play.

I can attest to this... if I hear Don't Stop Believing, or More Than A Feeling one more time...

And, a bit of a rant, but they always play the same two Steppenwolf songs over and over - Born to be Wild and Magic Carpet Ride. I've never heard The Ostrich, Hey Lawdy Mama, Jupiter's Child, Move Over, etc... other great songs by them on the station. Oh well.

And with the Airplane, you don't hear nothing but "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit", and occasionally "Volunteers". I heard "The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil" once on classic rock radio.

Only song of theirs I've heard on my city's classic rock station was Somebody to Love, twice.

Albumwise, people know nothing other than Surrealistic Pillow and Volunteers, mostly the former.

And I think so many people depend on single/album charts too much.
I don't trust it anymore.

One of the things that constantly infuriates me about the radio is their choice of Pink Floyd songs. All you ever hear is bits of The Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall with the occasional Wish You Were Here track thrown in. Once or twice I've heard a track from A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell.

The band has fifteen albums and all you'll ever hear are singles from three to five of them???

[MissChromeNun]

They don't want to stray from the hits that they're positive everyone tuning in will know.

With Led Zeppelin, all I ever hear on my station is Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven, All My Love, Whole Lotta Love, When The Levee Breaks, Black Dog (and in that order)... rarely strays from those six songs except for the one time they played Battle of Evermore.

Sometimes they they mix things up a little when it's an artists' birthday, or putting on live versions of the songs. It's still the same song, only difference is its live.
