Like the other thread says, there were thousands of great songs released in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, but most Classic Rock Stations play the same ones over and over ad nauseam.

Post songs that you love popular, but are rarely, if ever, heard on Classic Rock Stations.

Sugarloaf - "Don't Call Us (We'll Call You)

This song was Top Ten in 1975.

There are oldies stations, and there are classic rock stations.

Never heard on WRKH 96.1 or WJTQ 100.7, Mobile's classic rock stations. Interesting.

Won't argue personal preferences, but you're wrong.

Cowboy Song

One that springs to mind is "I've Got The Music In Me" by Kiki Dee. That was a pretty popular song on the radio BITD and I don't know if some markets play it but I know I never hear it on the radio anymore.

I rediscovered it a few years back and I was surprised how much I liked it after such a long time of not hearing it. It works up a pretty good soulful/rocking lather.
