Classic Rock Radio on Spotify

I know most of my posts are about WUSB but I want to throw you a curve ball with this entry.

So if you're a loyal reader, you know that I have been using Spotify heavily over the last month or so. It's actually been open more times than iTunes. Which is strange to me because iTunes has been my dominant music player for a few years now (before iTunes, it was Winamp...and before Winamp it was...RealPlayer..).

But I'm really digging Spotify. The fact that you can stream almost any track your ears desire is too juicy to resist. So as I'm streaming music, I decide that I need to organize it all into a playlist. Not a very new concept, mind you, but on Spotify, your playlists are shared. They're public! Anyone can see and listen to them. And if they dig the playlist, they can subscribe to it.

Now on my 5th generation iPod (about two years removed from the iPhone), I had a playlist on their called CLASSIC ROCK. My goal for the playlist was to emulate the classic rock radio stations that play in the New York area (and pretty much the entire country...thank you Telecommunications Act of 1996...). When the playlist is on shuffle, it was nearly identical to the radio. It was scarily accurate!

So I did my best to recreate that playlist on Spotify. Here is the result of my work....please feel free to subscribe to it...and if you have suggestions of songs I'm missing...please leave a comment.

NOTE: I wanted to emulate the playlists of the radio stations. Which means this playlist can get repetitive. Since classic rock radio has about 50 songs in its rotation. Ok..maybe a little more than that..but not much.

Hope you dig it!... remember to listen in Shuffle!
