"Bad Company" by Bad Company
"Turn the Page," "Like a Rock," and "Night Moves" by Bob Seger
"Simple Man," "That Smell," "Sweet Home Alabama," "What's Your Name" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
"All Along the Watchtower" by Hendrix
"Heartbreaker," "Living Loving Maid," "Immigrant Song," "Kashmir," "Whole Lotta Love" by Zeppelin (man, I hate "Living Loving Maid")
"Young Lust" by Pink Floyd (that song should never, ever, ever be played on the radio unless it's part of an uninterrupted broadcast of The Wall in its entirety; stripped from context -- and, hell, even in context to a degree -- it's just awful)
"Start Me Up" and "Angie" by the Stones
"Rockin into the Night" by .38 Special
"Back in the Saddle" by Aerosmith (I honestly don't care for most of their songs, but this was the first one to jump into my head that needs to go)
"Rock'n Me" and "Take the Money and Run" by Steve Miller
"Up on Cripple Creek" by the Band
"Cocaine" and "Wonderful Tonight" by Clapton
And, as Beardo already mentioned, most songs by the Eagles.
That's all I got off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's plenty more.
Lol, some good ones in there.
I forgot all about Aerosmith.....I ****ing hate Aerosmith. I don't know what it is about them, but I really dislike them. The J.T. Show on Supertalk probably has a little to do with it (**** you J.T.!). The only song I'll tolerate is "Dude looks like a lady", and that's only because of Mrs. Doubtfire, lol.
I actually don't hear much Seger, outside of Turn the Page. That's my dad's favorite song, so I always like hearing it, but I'll agree it's a tad overplayed.
I love Clapton. I actually wish radios would play more Cream; you typically only hear White Room or Sunshine of your Love....they need to play some Strange Brew, Crossroads, and Toad. So many great songs.
Outside of Satisfaction, Paint it Black, and Jumpin' Jack Flash, I'm not a huge Stones fan....
And you're right about the Beatles....if anything, they don't get played enough. I feel like I rarely hear them on the radio. I hear solo stuff from Lennon, Paul (esp. Wings), and George (What is Life is one of my all time favorite songs), but not much Beatles.
