It's a role for stations to play the same popular stuff repetitively. If they push the button, land on a station, and hear a certain song they don't wanna listen, they'll push the button again until they find another they could listen. ![]() Most people are looking for certain tunes than the stations and/or formats themselves. They assume most people are gonna be listening in their cars and turn it on, pushing the button until they hear a certain song they wanna listen. In most areas, it's rare to hear certain acts that are not played on a regular rotation (See Iron Maiden and Motorhead). That's why some bands only have one or two radio staples like Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Devo to name a few for instance. Ads have been driven the radio since the early years. If they have biggest crowd of listeners, the advertisers are gonna get their ads heard by the most people, so what they do is they try to play popular songs often as they could to get those listeners hear them to get decent/high ratings. In order to get advertisers - including some who work for the Rock Hall - and make them happy, they want to have the most people listening at any given time possible. While I don't recall hearing Heep on terrestrial radio, but the reason why it's so limited notoriously cause it's quite similar to television: they make their money by selling advertising. The only Heep song I think I am tired of is "Stealin'" and that's the only one ever played." "I honestly have NO idea how "they" decide what gets played on radio and what doesn't, but somehow there are bands with 20+ albums out, and only 1 or 2 songs gets airplay. Posted by Matthew Bula on Saturday, 12:51pm URIAH HEEP and its members past and present needs to be inducted. Does not give creadsnce to R&R HALL OF FAME.

The countless albums and longevity as well as inspiration and cutting edge. Like so many other artists that deserve to be there yet ignored or overlooked. GETTING MORE AND MORE DISCOURAGED AND DISDAIN OF R&R HALL OF FAME. IT'S A DISGRACE THAT HAVE NOT AND SHOWS THE BIAS AND IGNORANCE OF THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. On an average night they are at their A game and are great. ![]() And the CONCERTS the CONCERTS very few bands perform as good or better live than what you hear on an album. Rush had not been put in until the outrage of fans. Ots a shame that groups and individuals with so much influence and longevity are omitted by THE ROCK AND ROLL Committee. ![]() Kiss, Rush, Stryper, Wasp, Blackfoot, Focus, Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull. Every other major group knows how good they are and reputation is. While not as big as they should have been here in the States. They have been a staple in Europe and inspiration to many. While personnel changes have occurred as in many cases and bands even evolved. These guys have been around for 50 years.
