classic rock songs that deserve more air time?

I agree with Sad Eyed Lady.  You don’t hear a lot from bands like Traffic, King Crimson, Uriah Heep and other bands much, and more deep cuts would be appreciated as well.  I listen mostly to internet radio stations and I can usually track down lesser played but still great tracks.  Here’s a few...

I Talk To The Wind - King Crimson
Glad - Traffic
Empty Pages - Traffic
July Morning - Uriah Heep
Silver Tightrope - Armageddon
A Pillow of Winds - Pink Floyd

@winston - I saw Ozzy Osbourne here in Toronto a few years ago, and they played Mr. Crowley, along with a few Sabbath cuts (War Pigs, Fairies Wear Boots)....Show more

The problem is that I have a larger music collection than almost all so-called "classic" stations.  They totally ignore a lot of excellent bands, but also never play many of the great "one-hit wonders".  You'd think they'd at least look through lists of the "Top 100" of various years & play some of these.  Of course, they likely don't even have any tracks by those bands.  Lots of stuff by Buffalo Springfield, bands like The Easybeats, Amboy Dukes, Wishbone Ash, etc.   ...Show more

I get tired of hearing the same old songs being played to death by classic rock stations, not that the songs are bad but overplayed, instead of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd it would be nice to hear some songs by Traffic, The Kinks, Uriah Heep, Ten Years After, King Crimson etc......Show more
