Before 'Classic Rock' even became a format really, the only place I could
hear it was on an AM station, and it was really cool - they'd play album
cuts all the time, of trully classic acts like Zep and Floyd, they'd play a
lot of Tull, King Crimson, and even Arthur Brown and Gong. When it went over
to FM, it started out good enough, the Doors and Neil Young got played a
lot, but over time they started to rely more on real crap - stuff like the
Guess Who and Three Dog Night, really tame stuff, second-rate if you ask me.
I haven't listened to classic rock in years, and now that the alt-music
stations are playing the same old stuff or stuff that sounds like a rehash
of ten year old hits, well, you're right, radio just plain sucks.
