Why do the resorts always play classic rock?
Why oh WHY, when there are loudspeakers playing music on the runs… do the
ski
resorts usually play classic rock? And even in the bars… wtf?
Please! Don’t make me hear Runnin’ On Empty by Jackson Browne again!
At least in the parks there is more contemporary music: Incubus, Linkin Park, and the like. Not necessarily my style, but I don’t think anyone but me would appreciate some deep or progressive house on the hill.
Resorts… listen up! We’re not a bunch of graying baby boomers who are down for some ZEPPELIN when we’re out snowboarding! At least throw us a bone with some 80s or something. I would love it if I was cruising along and heard Rio by Duran Duran 
Stumble It!
add to del.icio.us
I hear you and will talk to the music man at Snow Summit and see what they say! I know that we play christmas music at the base area during the holidays.

Thanks Mindy! Although I know that “DJs” usually hate being asked what to play
Hopefully we’ll enjoy some non-classic-rock soon!

that’s pretty funny. Have you ever been to any European resorts? Serious, wall to wall, classic cheese rock! Whitesnake, Foreigner, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi… Found the best thing to do is to surrender to the cheese!

Adam - I would happily take Whitesnake and Bon Jovi over yet another play of Born to Run… don’t you know the cheesy 80s are back, man? We americans love us some “Livin’ on a Prayer.” LOL!

i for one would LOVE to hear some progressive house on the hill / base area. so long as it wasn’t cheese, either. i’m not sure which is worse - cheesy club-house, or hoary pop-rock.
but why can’t we hear some digweed? come on, that’s trendy, right?

Yes! Digweed! Although he’s soooo 1996
Maybe in 10 years we’ll hear house on the hill - at that point will THAT be the classic rock of our world??!?
