I would lay money that there are "radio staples" you grew up hearing that never got airplay on some of the other stations around the country. For instance, I grew up in New Orleans and one of my favorite tunes was "Love is Like Oxygen" by The Sweet. When I moved to central Florida in the early eighties, I NEVER heard that song even once on the radio. One time about 1987 or so I called to specifically request that tune and the DJ was like "Oh, man I haven't heard that song since I left Seattle back in 1981. I'll see if I can get it on for you". Still didn't get played... Another great example are the "twofer sets" that get played on Classic Rock stations. Like in Orlando they always played: Heartbreaker/Livin' Lovin' Maid - Led Zeppelin Waitin' on the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top Feeling That Way/Anytime - Journey Without fail these songs were played together. BUT in other cities they'd have different twofer pairs like: Bye Bye Love/Moving in Stereo - Cars (on a Tacoma, WASH station) Silver Wheels/Crazy on You - Heart (from??) Sailing Shoes/Hey Julia/Sneakin' Sally - Robert Palmer (on a Boston station) These three pairs were NEVER played on WDIZ. In fact, not song from the Robert Palmer set were even played individually. Just neat to me how that works. |
