I want you to put some thought into this question. I think we can all agree the state of classic rock radio is pathetic these days. I am so sick of the ever shrinking playlist and repetition of the same tired songs. Let's pretend there is a classic rock/hard rock radio station not owned by one of the corporations like Clear Channel, so you have much more freedom in terms of a playlist. Pretend you are the program director and are assigned to design a two hour playlist for classic rock radio. The songs must be from the classic rock or classic hard rock genre (preferably a bit of a mix)
Here are the rules:
1) You cannot repeat the same artist twice.
2) You will program two hours of music with each hour containing ten-twelve songs.
3) Your playlist must be somewhat realistic. In other words, don't program something like Death Angel who never had any chance of airplay.
4) The songs must be radio appropriate. In other words, if they contain a lot of profanity, etc don't list them because we are talking about "corporate" radio.
5) Mix your playlist up.
I will post mine later.

ok cool idea... I would think that you may want to also identify the region your audience will be in since your playlist may be inlfluenced by that as well, for example if you are a Seattle station versus and New York station versus a Jacksonville Fl station, I can easily see that some artist selections may be received more warmly than if they were played elsewhere.
I need to stew on this for a few...
Alright here is my playlist. I tried to get some diversity here but I don't think anything is outrageous:
Hour One
Queen-Radio Ga Ga
Steppenwolf-The Pusher
Def Leppard-Hello America
ZZ Top-Party on the Patio
Alice Cooper-Caught in a Dream
Deep Purple-Highway Star
Billy Idol-Cradle of Love
Robin Trower-Bridge of Sighs
Moody Blues-Singer in a Rock n Roll Band
Badlands-Dreams in the Dark
Slade-Run Run Away
Hour Two
Ace Frehley-New York Groove
Fleetwood Mac-Green Manalishi
Black Sabbath-Neon Knights
Axe-Rock n Roll Party in the Streets
Heart-Even it Up
April Wine-If You See Kay
Saga-On the Loose
Gary Moore-Out in the Fields
Damn Yankees-Coming of Age
The WHO-I Can't Explain
Vanilla Fudge-Keep Me Hangin' On
King's X-Over My Head
You should never play anything off of that VH record 'cause it stinks
I'd say you diversified pretty well. I'd listen to this station.
