Yes, but only for a while in a Port Hope McDonald's.

Point is (building on earlier thread) that regardless of whether the format is oldies, classic rock, new rock or classical music or whatever, listeners expect their favorite radio station to provide a base of (at least) a couple dozen famliar pieces.     Forever + ever.

Another Brick In The Wall, Part II.    Pink Floyd
In The Air Tonight​.                            Phil Collins 

Any radio station, anywhere can play these.  Or some version of them.  Coffee shop discussion.   GO!!!

However for the Pink Floyd track, either source out the Collection of Dance Songs CD or the "...Brick" single.  The point is, classic rock stations all play the song from "The Wall" CD that comes minus the intro that is included on the single.  And it sounds TERRIBLE.  The is one case where it's better to play the radio version, even on an album rock type of format.

Rock 102 in Buffalo was the LAST place I heard this track (as a gold selection, mind you) in 1981.

Hey, gents:

Perhaps the confusion is due to the DVP being closed all weekend but this is the "ten classics" thread, not "10 classic rock songs"
