I know there is still a long ways to go with this relatively new format (new meaning the concept and presentation), but if they really want it to work, they should do away with some of the songs that identify with WMGK. That means doing away with "Free Bird", as well as tracks from The Who, Kansas, and Jimi Hendrix (how can he qualify as an artist "from the 70's, 80's and 90's" when he was alive for a grand total of 260 days in 1970?) and adding more songs from artists like Talking Heads, The Clash and Blondie. What have they got to lose; they're certainly not going to hurt any of their own stations by doing this. Does 'OGL have "Call Me" and "Once In A Lifetime" in heavy rotation? I don't think so.

If WYSP Wants Its Format To "Grow"...
- Thread starter DToTheJ
- Start date
For better or worse, by definition of classic rock you have to include the Hendrixes, Whos, Floyd, Zeppelins, etc. For them to push this as "not your father's classic rock" would be suicide. You need a certain dose of "freedom rock" to draw in the average classic rocker. And again, I say "for better or worse", and you can thank the homogenization that began with dereg for that line of thought.
