Did KLOS screw up at the end of their Top 1000 greatest rock songs broadcast?

M

Major Infidel

Did anyone catch the end of KLOS's Thanksgiving weekend 1000 greatest rock songs broadcast? The station made the entire list available on their website. It clearly listed Bohemian Rhapsody as the #2 song on the list. Yet when the broadcast aired, Sgt. Pepper played in the second slot (which I believe should have been #10). Seems like a pretty big goof up if that is, in fact, what it was.
 
LOL. It's not quite that bad, is it? I'm not minimizing how badly KLOS has been outdone in relatively short order by the upstart 100.3, but you'd still have to say they're the #2 rock station in this market.
 
The Top 1000 listed on the KLOS website is (most likely) a previous edition (2009, maybe?) since many songs are "out of position" as compared to the logs on Yes.com and KLOS.com's own TuneGenie.com. Thus, there was no mistake made.
Goes to show that in terms of classic rock, there's so little movement amongst the top all-time songs on any of these lists, you'd be forgiven if you were looking at a previous year's list and think that it applies to this year.

Ah, I didn't realize this was something they did every year. So the mistake was in not updating their website.

It also hurts their credibility when the list is full of typos.

Your one-liner is a bit ironic to me. I recall in the mid 80's, KLOS (or was it KMET? My memory is starting to slip) did a "Top 30 Who Songs of All Time" whereby they proceeded to play the entire catalog of the Who's greatest hits for three straight hours one Sunday afternoon. Of course, the "number one song" was... (anti-climatic drumroll please)... "Won't Get Fooled Again".

Ridiculous of course. Everyone knows the Who's best song is "Substitute".
