I'll just take a shortcut and say most songs from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The local classic rock station here probably plays a song from each every hour. You'd think they'd try to spice up their play list a little since they've been playing the same songs and groups for the past 30 years now.

Exactly my reason for not listening .They play the same things they always have, but with much less variety . I choose to listen to my own massive collection of various bands that I love, and seek out new music on the internet .

As much as I love Boston-their first album is overplayed while you all you hear off Don't Look Back is the title track and you hear nothing off their third album.

If there are any Boston albums that no longer get airplay, that would be Walk On, which came out around 1994, and Corporate America which came out around 4-5 years ago.
As far as I know, rock radio hasn't supported either of those Boston albums at all (at least "regularly") since a year or two after each of them was first released.
While I may be exaggerating some, I might have been one of the only radio dj's in the world still using songs off of Walk On between 2000-2007.
Boston to me is just plain hard to figure out Aero...they released a smashing debut, then followed it up with a good record, and then their third slipped a little more. I know nothing about them after Third Stage. I know that Tom Scholz was a perfectionist and CBS records grew exasperated with the interminable delays getting a new record out.
I have not listened to FM radio in over two years, before that it was CBC 2 for the classical they played. I do miss the really good little stations we used to have, but corporate raiders are ruining the entire business, just like the television/media giants are doing.:mad

These were the Boston singles you might have "missed" then after Third Stage. The two cuts below were from Walk On. I supported both of those songs on the radio periodically from 1998-2007. The bottom cut is the title track from Corporate America (2002), an album I never played because the record label chose not to service my station with it (and we contacted them asking for it). Nor was I about to buy it just to play on the radio either, so I never got a chance to hear it all the way through.
I remember reading about CBS suing Boston during the time period between Third Stage and Walk On because they were taking too long to deliver an album.
I'll also share with you a recent Boston story that quietly made it into the news and didn't make a whole lot of waves, but it really happened.
This concerns the Corporate America album. Boston released that album on a small record label called Artemis in 2002. A few months went by. It sold poorly and received bad reviews. This pissed off Tom Scholz who blamed Artemis Records for the poor sales, because Scholz felt they hadn't done enough to promote the new album. Then Tom also came to the conclusion that it was somehow a poor production job on Corporate America that might have caused the poor reception to the album.
So at one point, I believe during 2003, Tom Scholz was prepared to rerecord the entire Corporate America album from start to finish (after it had already been released several months before) to "improve" the sound and then release this new version of the album through a record label that he believed might be able to "properly promote it", which according to him the current label had supposedly failed to do.
If that isn't crazy, I don't know what is. The typical band would just chalk it up as a failed album and move on.
As it turns out, Scholz never went ahead with his plans to record that album all over again and rerelease it. But he was 100% committed to it at the time before something or someone changed his mind.
