It might be a matter of just a bit more effort with the borderline AoR/Classic Rock stuff.
Marty's right; it wasn't that great a song anyway. Thing is, it's an unbudging virus on a few hundred Classic Rock playlists across the country. We can all name a dozen similar bootlickings of the late 70s AoR niching which put them there in the first place.
101 is doing a very good job opening up the library. But when it comes to auditioning strict AoR -- and Smoking' became Classic Rock only -- you have to go deeper than another niched playlist for goodies. There are better hooks and hits from that eggshell era going into and out of Woodstock.
