I never hear Beatles songs on classic rock stations that play the life out of Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and the Who. Only occasionally will I hear Come Together - but 9 times out of 10 it will be the crummy Aerosmith version. Seems that radio programmers have decided that Beatles music is considered "soft rock," and that's where I hear them the most. Disgrazia.
What is classic rock anyway?? Music is music to me!
I listen to one or two stations that play continues music & they do play the fabs & some solo stuff but I'm more likely to hearBryan Ferry's version of Jealous Gut than John's! shame! :-/
You seem to have this idea that everything that is not hardrock is automatically relegated to soft rock, as if nothing exists in between.I think the truth is most Beatle songs don't fit the classic rock format, which is hard/progressive. Doesn't mean they're considered "soft rock." There is a world in between.
Where I live there's a rock station that plays Beatles'music once in a while.
