The Partridge Family Was Heard

P

peppertree

Yesterday around 3:00PM I heard I Think I Love You on KONO San Antonio. I thought that song was not played because of bad polling.

Next time I listen, I could hear Harper Valley PTA?<P ID="signature">______________

Partridge Family

the song generally does not get played because it is a STIFF.

Which song is a stiff? Last I checked both of those records were #1 hits. But you don't hear eithier as much as you used to...(and I have those records, too)

Partridge Family

What blinds many radio Programmers, especially Oldies PDs, is the difference between what WAS popular and what IS STILL POPULAR TODAY. The Partridge Family was a fad that lasted a year or two- and that was it.

Oldies radio will die a painful death if the bubblegum/chart obsessed faction ever gets their hands on this format. The LAST THING Oldies needs is Jackson5, Partridge Family, Osmonds, Tony Orlando and Carptenters genre songs. Face it, gentlemen- "Sugar Sugar" did not define a generation.

Re: Partridge Family

I know all of this....hell I don't wanna hear those songs that often, but you can't say they were stiffs just because no one wants to hear them now ("Honey" is another great example of this!)
 
Re: Partridge Family

I've heard stations go that route, and it just seems that there is so little from the 70s that's playable and anot already being beat to death on Classic Rock, that looking to all that stuff as the way to keep the format young is ridiculous.<P ID="signature">______________

70s oldies

I think there's a ton of stuff in-between the soft AC genre and classic rock.
Stuff textured like Still The One and Don't Stop, the Elton/Joel/Eagles stuff.
Lean pop-rock w/o too much disco, classic rock or soft AC. There's still a lot of great music to play.
