>>>Hot Dog was too different for me. I didn't care for it although it got a lot of air time around here. On the contrary, Hey Hey What Can I Do and Tangerine, are two of my favorites but hardly heard on the radio.

>Here in Western Washington state, a classic rock station (KZOK) plays, every day, at noon, an hour of Led Zeppelin. The show is called "Lunch with Led".

A radio station in Toronto (Q107) used to do something similar. Not sure its still done these days. They used to say it was time to "Get the Led Out". On Sundays, they do a 9am to 9pm (I think) program called "Psychedelic Sundays". Just about every group/artist mentioned in this thread gets airtime.
