The first years the playlist for me always sounded fresh and exotic with a great mix of classic and new songs. Now it has become very repetitive for me. When I listen to XM's Loft I am constantly hearing new songs. I only listen to that in the car though. The selections on The Loft are not that great but at least they are new. They talk way too much on XM and they are really banal. I think your critique is helpful and I hope others make this point. RP needs to pick more cuts off more albums, even albums from the past, it doesn't matter. Just as long as I have not heard it before. I often think we are limited to hearing only what Bill likes. His skill is what makes this a great station but it could be improved by trying out some other songs that he may not like so much and letting us decide via the rating. I've been listing to RP for, what—12 years?—and I can't disagree more. RP is always fresh. In the car, I'd rather the frequent dropouts on RP from the poor cell coverage in the Portland hills than anything on XM, including The Loft. It's missing something essential that is definitely there in RP—no doubt Bill's magic touch. |

RedTruk Apr 12, 2013 - 11:50 | Awesome, one of those songs that always resonates in my head. And Stairway to Heaven is LedZep, not the Who. |

kurtster Mar 31, 2013 - 19:55 | ... when logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead. It took me all of these past 46 years to finally hear this lyric for what it is. Yes, indeed ... |

These first times all occured in the seventies. Some of them lasted, others didn't as if time erased their power. Or may be going from teen age to adult hood changes the ears? Repetition is a factor too. I had the same effect with some classical music too Casta Diva by La Callas, Mozart Concerto for Clarinet & Oboe Adagio (Out of Africa made it famous), Astor Piazzola, Coltrane, ...and so MANY more! Nice call Bohemian Rhapsody, Sultans of Swing, lust for life, common people, it's a long way to the top... |

Other songs that have done that over the years: I Am A Rock by Simon and Garfunkel More Than a Feeling by Boston (crazy, I know)...but I was a kid Black by Pearl Jam You? |
