Reply #17: They stick with the middle-of-the-road hits for the most part. [View All]

Too much Steve Miller, Seger--that kind of shit. I also notice that the stations around here tend to take out a particular song and play the shit out of it for the period of time that it's in rotation (and I'm not sure what the period is, perhaps a month, or a few monts). Then you never hear it again. You even get sick of songs you like, and you get pissed that they're not playing other songs by the artist.

They sometimes pick weird ones to play. For a while, the Aerosmith song they were playing was "Remember (Walking in the Sand)". WTF? It's a cover song that was on an album that was certainly not one of their best; I just didn't get the decision to play the shit out of it when there were so many great Aerosmith songs they could have played.

For a long time, they were playing "Spirit in the Sky." I was enjoying hearing it, since I hadn't heard it since it was out. But I kept hearing it. And hearing it. It got ridiculous. And after that rotation passed, I never heard it again. Which is too bad, because I would like to hear it again. :shrug:
