Happy Happy New Year

Choice Classic Rock Library
Choice Classic Rock Library

First off … Happy New Year from Choice Classic Rock! I hope that 2022 finds you happy, healthy and rockin’ to the sounds of Classic Rock!

I have added 26 new songs into high rotation on the playlist. Listen for brand new songs from the following artists:

  • Bryan Adams
  • Chuck Berry
  • David Bowie
  • Eric Clapton
  • Elvis Costello & The Attractions
  • Deep Purple
  • King Crimson
  • John Mellencamp
  • Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
  • Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators
  • Tears For Fears
  • Tommy Iommi
  • Eddie Vedder
  • The Waterboys
  • Neil Young & Crazy Horse

I have also refreshed the promos and sweepers that you have been hearing for the past several (many) months. Hopefully you find the new ones funny and/or engaging – or at least not too boring/lame!

Lastly, I have spent the last six months going through my music collection (see the photo above for a glimpse of part of it), and have added over 3000 new songs into the different parts of the playlist. There are now over 14,000 songs in rotation on Choice Classic Rock. Some of the more well-loved ones you will hear more often, but you are guaranteed to go months before hearing some songs repeat. My hope is that it keeps the playlist fresh for you – and you keep coming back to hear new songs! You can click here to see a list of artists that have songs in rotation on the station. Let us know via the contact page if you think we are missing an artist that deserves to be played!

Once again – Happy New Year and all the best in 2022! Keep it tuned to Choice Classic Rock for the very best in classic rock music.

Stay safe!
