PYX is probably doing a little rotation "tweak"...based on research done in Cleveland or somewhere-not-here. They will definitely react in some way to Galaxy and ABC.
One of the BEST things about Vito, and what many of you never pick up on, is that with Vito, it's what you DON'T hear that makes him a hero....some serious overplayed crap comes up on the Selector list during his shift, and he refuses to play them.
How many Doors hits were there? How many do you hear on PYX? Two, maybe three...that's where PYX sucks! When was the last time you heard "Love Street" or any other deeper classic tracks? Not too many surprises on PYX.
As for "new" old tunes coming up on air....some like em, some don't. The people complaining when a few new old ones get put in are the same people who complain that playlists are too tight.
I prefer to hear a chestnut every now and then, and hate it when it gets added to rotation.....like right now, I have a hankering for "157 Riverside Avenue" from REO Speedwagon. or J. Giels "Sanctuary"..but I don't want to hear them every other day!
Those songs would have to be be dayparted to play only from 7p-3a.....
It's kinda sad when the best "local" night rock show belongs to fearless Alice Cooper.
Different strokes.....
