I like that RP plays a wide variety of good songs. The fact that other radio stations play a song is no reason for RP to not play it -- we're not listening to those other stations; we're listening to RP. |

Whether it belongs on RP or not, or whether its overplayed on "classic rock" stations, its still a good tune, and there's no problem with having 3 minutes of good tune in between other good stuff, and a lot of eclectic stuff that may or may not be so good.
So stop complaining.

I think this is what RP is about though - eclectic online rock radio. At least that's what it says at the top of my browser.
IMHO there's nothing wrong with mixing a classic or two with all the others. It's the same reason that I use "random" on my mp3 player. |

Unditto. I think it is entirely necessary to play songs like this.
Just to underline the point, I can hear Bowie's Sound and Vision on 'the other radio' at any time, but I ain't gonna complain, coz there's more than just a few RPers out there who like it!! IMHO |

So, there is somebody here that likes this song so much that they took the effort to upload it, rather than thousands of other songs infinitely better.
I could live the rest of my life very happily never hearing this song again.

Comparing it to or remember tv by a song. You must be watching to much tv or something. Saying cause you can here this song on canned radio doesn't matter either.
It's a great song. New rock just doesn't hold a candle most of the time to the older rock songs.

People still seem to think that if part of your extensive and varied selection includes something they've heard before, it must not be eclectic. :|

Does anyone remember that old TV series "WKRP in Cincinnati" and Johnny Fever? I can't hear this song without thinking of a particular episode.
Love this song!

Yet another case of discovering the original after being much more familiar with a particular cover. Yay RP!

lynncorry1964 says:
hear hear!!!!
 The adjective eclectic has one meaning:
Meaning #1: selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas
So I must say that "Drift Away" seems the best of the 70's rock ballad/classic style....wouldn't you agree????
Amen to that! Of course, Dobie has the unfortunate problem of having had a very popular song with this one. It's a great song...too bad, huh? |
