Without question, the two songs that made the biggest impression while we were putting this whole thing together were these two ...
Classic Rock Fans LOVE these songs ... and they want to hear them once in awhile ... simple as that.
You are doing your listeners a complete disservice by ignoring these tunes.
First up ...
"Sounds Of Silence" by Disturbed ... one of the most powerful performances I have ever heard in my life.
This was never one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel tunes, even 'tho it was the one that launched their career.
But THIS rendition chills me to the bone ...
It attacks my very soul ... every time I hear it.
But without a doubt it was "Stealin'" by Uriah Heep that garnered the most favorable response.
"Why did they ever stop playing this one?"
And it's true ... at one time it was in heavy rotation on ALL of the Classic Rock Stations ...
And it was a "Must Learn" for any band out there who wanted a chance to perform their "covers" for a live audience at any of the clubs and bars around Everytown, USA.
Yet somehow it just fell off the radar.
But not with OUR readers. They remember ... and they know what they like.
Any programmers out there reading this today should add this one to their playlist NOW ... and let it play freely every now and then. It'll put YOUR station head and shoulders above the competition ... and might even let your listeners know that YOU love Classic Rock just as much as THEY do!!! (kk)
For the record, Disturbed's version of "Sounds Of Silence" came in at #2703 ... while Uriah Heep managed a #775 showing with "Stealin'".
