Oh, man, why are they playing that Pink Floyd song again? I'll explain...Why do you guys always play the same song? Well, let me tell you:

Man, your music is burnt OUT. YOU SUCK! I HATE EVERYTHING YOU PLAY! I'M CHANGING THE STATION! NNEEYYAAGHHH.

Believe you me, Larry, everybody on this side of the radio, regardless of the format, has heard all of that OVER AND OVER. Not here at K-1017, of course, heh heh. Our listeners love all our music. Cos we're Classic HITS, not classic ROCK. And, if you're curious about how the beast called Classic Rock Radio decides which thirty-forty songs to play, and how time is changing which songs they decide to beat into an ungainly pulp, I tell you to dig into this article.

Everything you wanna know is meticulously laid out here: why certain songs and bands, how what part of the country factors into it, how large a role the disc jockey plays in it (hint: none.) So the next time you get that look on your face cos Boomer 92 is spinning Foghat for the ka-zillionth time, you'll have this in your head before you condemn Johnny Headphones to Suckville, population That Jackass.

Enjoy!
