I understand that classic rock stations tend to play a certain set of songs from the classic bands as they need to play to the broadest spectrum of listeners. Many stations often have “deep dive” shows where they get into areas of the artists’ catalogues that are not normally heard on the radio. This playlist is one of those dives.
I wanted to get a good balance and flow within the playlist, so I was fairly discriminatory in picking the songs. All these artists have deep catalogues of songs, so getting “off the beaten track” songs wasn’t the challenge, it was getting a flow.
For fans of these bands, I’m sure there are no surprises here, but I expect that there’ll be a couple of surprises for some of you. Enjoy!
Oh, and, yes, “Peace Frog” ends rather abruptly as it flows seamlessly into the next song on the album, but not here!
