POPPING BACK : CLASSIC ROCK--THE PEOPLE SPEAK
In the Popping Off column on May 10, Chris Willman criticized the “classic rock” radio format for its narrow definition of classic rock and for discouraging diversity in programming. Here’s a sample of reader response.
One of the main reasons I listen to the radio is to be exposed to new music. Unfortunately, with rock radio being so firmly entrenched in the ‘70s, and with individuals who have sprung from now defunct ‘70s bands, it has become increasingly harder to hear anything out of the mainstream without actually taking a chance and buying new records on a whim. I echo Willman’s sentiments.
