I tried to fix that. When I moved here in 2011 I listened to WIND 95.5 Classic Rock Gainesville/Ocala. I noticed their playlist seemed so repetitious, in 2015 I emailed a list of about 50 songs I never heard. Hunter, who is a morning DJ and listed as their PD was who I emailed it to and she replied thanked you. I continued to listen and for the next year and heard only one song from list. I emailed a second list in 2016 and she thanked me again, but I never heard any of those songs either.

In 2017 I bought a new car with XM free for 3 months and afterwards I have kept XM Sirius membership and I really like it a lot. In garage and lanai on my other-the-air radio I've switched to several different stations I listed in post #9 and for classic rock I find WMNO 98.9 Classic Rock Orlando has a different playlist.

The only song WIND played from my two lists was Judas Priest You got another thing Coming. The other 100 or so songs I emailed were songs like this; Aldo Nova Fantasy, Billy Thorpe Children of the Son, Zebra Who's Behind the Door, Giuffria Call to the Heart, The Cult She sells Sanctuary, ELO Telephone Line, Robin Trower Victims of the Fury, Jackson Browne Somebody's Baby, Uriah Heep Easy Livin', Sweet Love is like Oxygen, The Babys Back on my feet Again, Head East Never been any Reason, Whitesnake Still of the Night to name a few.
