    What are some songs you like that never got played on the radio?

    I was listening to STP earlier and some of their best songs never made it to the radio or at least I do not recall hearing them on the radio.

    yeah, I know... most of you are grumbling... This might be your first introduction to John Hartford... He wrote the song Gentle on my Mind that Glen Campbell made famous in the 70's. - fact check, it was 1967... I guess that makes me old...



    don't blame me if you get an earworm from this...

    Renegade by STYX. They played it for just a couple weeks then nothing. Loved this song when it first came out.

    They played the heck of that here where I live. I still hear it to this day on local radio. It always makes me smile because I think of Billy Madison every time I hear it.

    This one is different, but I really enjoy it. I'm guessing I went 10 years between hearing it on the radio.

    You did read the title of the thread, right? That song got radio time like no other, and it's also HORRIBLE! LOL!

    I guess most of the dudes on this forum need FM radio to tell them what are the good songs.
