gherk...you're gonna be thrilled :fyi:

#2 led zep kashmir :shock:

trouble is having aerosmith over any of the top 10 invalidates the list anyway

There is no standard as to what constitutes 'classic rock', something is played on a 'classic rock' station if the people who program the music, and the audience WANT it to be played on the station.

For me "Classic Rock" would begin with songs and artists such as these:

I doubt there's a single 'classic rock' station in this country that would play any of those songs

Not the point. Classic Rock means different things to various age groups.

Here's Billboard's top 100 from 2011.

Of course, these are not classics.........................................yet.

well, you can make the argument that some of adele's work is instant classic 8-)

That is laughable. :laughhard

If Aerosmith must be represented, there is no way that any song other than "Dream On" is appropriate.

exactly... i have no problem with aerosmith being on the list...though i question them in the top 10...but sweet emotion would certainly not be the song... the idiots compiling the list missed it on quite a few of the songs in the top 20

one of the 2 stations has answered my question...coming from the dj on shift

Pearl Jam and Nirvana were at their peak in the 90's, so that's still a little too new for us. A ton of research goes into what we play...and we conduct music tests a couple times a year, so also determines what we play. Also, we're a hits station, so we stick with what got airplay when it was new and what was popular. I hope that answers your question.

We ask listeners what they want to hear through research. They tell us GnR music fits with Zep, Floyd and Aerosmith sounds, but 90s grunge does not.

We believe in giving the audience what they want.

Thanks for listening.
