I have heard Steppenwolf before. That segue you gave is interesting.
At some point you will see all 60s gone. You will also see all 70s gone, which they seem to have overall ignored.
The big question is, how will they deal with the Hip Hop titles that dominated the Hot100 for part of the 90s. Also those few dance titles that popped through. Jams has emulsified those Hip Hop titles and that format is called the "New Classic Hits" as niched as it is.
The issue I have with all these Classic Hits stations, the playlist is about 100 titles long, pretend that Urban doesn't exist except for a few safe artists. Also, notice how there is never more than a few titles from artists? Can you say they spin all the Madonna or Elton or Prince tunes all during the same week or month? Notice how it is always 4 or less songs from 1 major artist?
Bigger question, perhaps the MD is so busy there they are not manually modifying the playlist that the computer app spits out?
Hunter, need to get some shut eye at that time in the morning. :-)
