I understand that old songs like this need air-time in order to keep RP afloat, but the experience would be improved if more unexplored-and-not-beaten-to-death songs were played. I don't listen to RP to be reminded of what was once really good but is now dated. I listen to find new favourites.
It has more to do w age and experience. My sense is that you are a young person and have not built up several decades of connection to songs/artists based on synaptic links. Many years from now you'll have a bright younger person telling you what you've stated to us older listeners. May you have many wonderful adventures filled w an excellent soundtrack.

Great rock'n'roll is timeless—like all great music. If you're annoyed by Bill's mix, you might try internet stations like WXPN and KEXP, both of which emphasize current and breaking artists.

To this I can only note that not everyone who listens has your history with this or any piece. Over time one notices that magazines publish the same articles that they published earlier (National Geographic must hold the record for repeatedly mining the same trough). There are indeed songs played here that grate for me, but in general I manage to work past them, realizing that there are listeners who probably share some of my tastes but not all.
Being a Real Old School guy, I loved John Lennon when he was part of Lennon & McCartney. But he became a pontificating, fatuous ass during his solo career. "Instant Karma" is one of the better solo tunes, but NOT as good as anything the Beatles did.

Could not an old, potentially trend-setting classic tune become a new favorite for someone?

Yeah, I'm not sure why they put 1970 there. I thought this came out a couple of years after he passed (early 80's) since I remember borrowing the cassette tape from the library.
Edit: now I see: Collection, kind of retrospective.

Don't look now, but I think romeotuma LIKEs this song!
This song is soooo good my nipples get hard when I hear it...
we miss you, John...
His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead. —James Joyce, "The Dead" in Dubliners (1914)
