Is this thread different from the "I hate this song!" thread in any way?

I would say yes because "I Hate This Song" deals with songs that you absolutely hate.  Songs/artists you're tired of hearing deals with material that you like, but you just hear it over and over and over again on the radio.  Freebird would fall in the latter category.  Great song, just played to death on classic rock stations.

I could probably put this list at about 150-200, but I'd rather not bore you...Here's some good-bad examples. The problem with so-called Classic Rock stations is that they seem to play from a seemingly universal playlist, one that's barely moved an inch since 1985, and rarely takes a crack at anything before 1965. For reasons radio experts here can better explain, they rarely delve much past the singles, let alone B-sides.

Oddly, when an artist passes away, you get to hear a lot more songs that fell out of rotation or didn't have (much) radio play. Once in a while, they'll play just the right song at just the right moment, and that's great. Even great songs lose their impact when you hear it every day.

It's not just a classic rock-station problem, it occurs with anything stuck in a particular time era. For all the whining about how often Hotel California gets played, you could be stuck for a week or two listening to XM's The Blend, or some other "All Your* Favorites from the 80's, 90's, and Today!" station, and you'll be begging for Derek and the Dominoes to belt out Layla right quick.

What is interesting is that I've seen a couple of classic rock stations in my travels that will delve into the 90s and early 00s. Nirvana and Green Day are starting to make its way onto classic rock stations. I've even heard Nickelback on a Classic Rock station.

I believe that once a song reaches a certain age, it become "classic rock". I have no formula to prove my point...just a hunch.

I do not know WHTQ when they were the rock of Central Florida used the exact day it stopped playing new rock to differentiate.   So the latest song they played was either Ozzy and Mama I'm Coming Home or Van Halen Right Now as you never heard anything from Balance (the next album after the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge where Right Now came from.

However when WNEW was a station in NYC they called themselves classic rock even though they played the latest of the time. 

Now in Orlando we have it defined as "The Classic Hits" on WHTQ, that took over after HTQ went AM Talk using WDBO's call letters.  Apparently the change in demos was why they yanked classic rock off the Orlando and Tampa dial as both Cox Media Channels The Bone at 102.5 in Tampa and WHTQ in O Town.  Then all of a sudden the soft rock WMMO changed format back to classic rock as well as whatever 107.5 in Tampa was is now The Eagle 107 playing the same exact format MMO is now playing.  I assume they were wrong with the demos and got complaints about those stations going south and they resurrected them.

Anyway, I am surprised the FM Sirius or Sirius FM did not take as when I attended Connecticut School of Broadcasting it was made know to us pupils that Satellite Radio is just holding on, as like someone here mentioned that many stations on there play songs that have been forgotten or those in between cuts that were never singles and never got long term air play you can now find in Deep Cuts and a few other stations.  They I imagine would not have to much repetition to have songs played to death on, so you would figure the Generation X would be the number one users to that radio phenomenon.

What really gets me is since the early 90's I have not heard any rock station play anything from Clapton's albums.  The last new song from Clapton was the unplugged version of Layla.  After that he released many albums including one with JJ Cale who was the author of Cocaine and After Midnight and even BB King in the 90's.

Other groups too like Van Halen as the album Balance and the one sole one with Gary Schorone and even the latest with David Lee Roth (which I never knew existed until I looked it up).  Their last song to be played was Right Now.

Even Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and many others since the early 90's have not gotten anything played from the late 90's, the 00's and even the present teens.

Somehow I get the feeling that rock music from the year 1991 to now is a new different genre.

Bon Jovi and U2 are probably the only two 80s bands that managed to get their newer stuff played through the 90s and into the 00s.

I havent listened to XM since 2009, but Deep Tracks was the perfect station imo. Playing b sides & sometimes obscure tracks as well as tracks most everyone loved (but not playing them 5 times a day). Earl Bailey was a great host he often had little tidbits of info about the song or the musician. I got the feeling he really loved his job. They used to play the long version (is there even a shorter version?) of Ina Gadda Da Vida either Fri or Saturday nite at midnight, I loved it!
