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.
