Why Do The Top Classic Rock Songs of All-Time Keep Changing?: This week, Rich and Clint discuss the phenomenon of "classic rock radio" in the US. Every city in America has a classic rock station, and they all have their "countdown to the greatest songs" playlist. Even though the songs to choose from haven't changed in decades, these top 10 lists change from year to year and differ significantly by region. Why is that? Why do the top classic rock songs of all-time keep changing? Lots of fun and laughter this week as Rich and Clint answer this age old question. Joined this week by AOQ regular Jeff Symonds.
