They play the Live '80 version of Oh Well on KZPS (Dallas) ALLLLL the time along with The Chain from The Dance, GYOW and GDW from Rumours.

True, they don't expand to play anything else besides what you mentioned, but that's ALL stations pretty much these days. Every radio station out there is very same-old, same-old. :rolleyes:

Don't listen to radio much anymore. But when I was driving around a lot as part of my job in the great Bay State, FM used to get a lot airplay. Of course that was more than a decade ago. Songs often heard:

Go Your Own Way (probably the most played)
The Chain
Dreams
You Make Loving Fun
Don't Stop
Sara
Tusk
Oh Well
Monday Morning
Say You Love Me
Rhiannon
Silver Springs (yes, believe it or not)
Never Going Back Again
Isn't It Midnight

Classic Rock / Adult Contemporary stations play:

Almost every day -

Little Lies
Everywhere
You Make Loving Fun
Sara
Don't Stop

From time to time -

Gypsy
Hold Me
Dreams
Go Your Own Way
Big Love
Seven Wonders
Say You Love Me
Landslide (The Dance version)
Thrown Down (the only thing they play here from SYW)

Maybe once in a lifetime -

Can't Go Back
Mystified
Isn't It Midnight
Silver Springs (The Dance version)
Sentimental Lady

Song of the moment - Steal Your Heart Away

Oh, yeah, I forgot Little Eyes. That was a big hit.

"Go Your Own Way"
"Dreams"
"Gold Dust Woman"

MAYYYYYBE "Don't Stop"
MAYYYYYBE "You Make Loving Fun"
MAYYYYYBE "Gypsy"
MAYYYYYBE "Tusk"
MAYYYYYBE "Little Lies"

That's it...5 of 8 songs from one out of 20+ albums, done in a 10 year span of a nearly 40 year career.

It's not like these stations are digging back to play "Hypnotized" or "Oh Well" anymore. I almost skidded off the road the other day when a station here in LA played the 1980 Live version of "Oh Well".

If Fleetwood Mac gets airplay, it's usually "Landslide" or "Rhiannon" on one of those "listen at work, soft rock" stations that actually just lull you to sleep in 20 minutes, which is why they have so damned many commercial breaks. :)

WOW CHILI was it the 2nd of a 2 for Tuesday on KLOS. cos I never turn the radio on, and when I did that was on. And I almost crashed as well! :laugh:

It sounds like it really just depends where you are and on whether or not the DJ has good taste.;) Yes, there is the soft rock station scenerio, but I rarely even listen to the radio and I hear Oh, Well (Peter version) and Hypnotized quite frequently on the major local classic rock station. But the station has people who really know their stuff. Then again, as far as I can tell (lived here my whole life, so I wouldn't really know the difference), it seems to be an exceptional station...even though it is guilty of repetitiveness like every other radio station.:distress:
