Beth by KISS. Although there is a great spoof video out there, I just can't post it right now.

I am a huge make-up era KISS fan. The Beth spoof video is pure genius. One of the best in youtube history, IMO.

I love Beth.

Me too. It was a huge part of the phenomenal marketing done by Gene Simmons. A well-timed rock ballad can be a big boost for a rock band. Yes ... many times those rock ballads are considered (rightfully so, IMO) as sell-outs (Police - Every Breath You Take; Green Day - When September Ends; Scorpions - Wind of Change; Led Zeppelin - All of My Love), but they are money machines. Beth is a legitimately great tune!!

It's funny how people are listing bands vs individual songs. Pretty much every band you've all listed I bet if you went through their complete collection there would be plenty of songs you not only like but might just love.

Unless JBoyst lists a band. That band will simply suck.

but with few exceptions, it's the same songs from a particular band that get airplay. and it's not a function of how long the songs have been out. it's how often it's been played in a set time frame.

Then list that particular song instead of the band. Unless of course you don't know how to read the thread topic.

Oh sorry I was just suggesting you (and others) be specific with regard to songs seeing that is what the OP posted in the title.

 

So every song by America receives airplay? You're not very good at this.

2 or 3 chord monotone songs with da dum da dum tempo are not very good. so i'm standing by it.
