Is there anybody out there?

That song makes me really sad.

Well, I was hopping around between several different classic rock stations and heard the following songs:

Speak To Me/Breathe
Welcome To The Machine
Brain Damage
Eclipse
Comfortably Numb
Another Brick In The Wall pt. 2
Hey You
On An Island

Nearly all of them are songs I've never heard on the radio at all. It was a nice little treat for the afternoon. I can always put an album on whenever I want if I want to hear something, but it's also neat to turn on the radio or head over to a station and just hear one.

I once heard Shine On You Crazy Diamond on a similar radio. :)

My radio only plays Bon Jovi :(

I'm sure they appreciate the exposure. I should clarify my previous post; the radio stations I was listening to were all classic rock stations in the United States. I can listen to classic rock stations from England, Australia, New Zealand, and several European countries if I wanted to. Yesterday I heard One Slip, Learning To Fly, See Emily Play, and Empty Spaces/Young Lust - I'm glad radio stations are realizing Pink Floyd did more than three to four songs at the most.

I've also noticed something else about classic rock radio stations - they play only about 12 bands. I have heard the same four or five songs from Boston, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Led Zeppelin, Heart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Styx, Van Halen, and a couple others I'm forgetting.....every damn day. Different stations, different states.....same damn songs. Come on playlist programmers - get creative.

Playlist programmers? That sounds like a really interesting job. I want to be a playlist programmer.

My classic rock station plays New Order and Kate Bush

I don't listen to it because 99% of the other acts are AC/DC and also AC/DC, but it played New Order and Kate Bush, and that in of itself is impressive

Sandra (Tarantula) and I are celebrating our third year anniversary as the first and only married couple to meet on pfo. It twas a bit more active here then....lol

Congrats! Many more happy years together.
