So I've been thinking this would make a good thread. I've heard formats play songs I was surprised to hear. Here's what I've heard recently: ACJason Derulo - In My Head Linkin Park - In the End Staind - It's Been Awhile Alternative AC/DC - Back in Black AC/DC - Highway to Hell AC/DC - Thunderstruck AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long Ozzy Osbourne - Mama, I'm Coming Home (also hear GNR, but I didn't think that was as bad) Classic RockFoo Fighters - Learn to Fly Foo Fighters - Times Like These Puddle of Mudd - Blurry Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California  I'm sure more will come to mind (and I'll hear more). But how about you guys? What are some songs you guys have heard that you thought was weird?

With the current state of AC, I think In My Head actually makes sense.
I can't really think of anything that really shocked me. I guess the only thing I can think of is some 80s dance song (can't remember what it was) that I heard on HAC.

Man, I could write a book on this. I heard "Lay Me Down" on the radio once, and that's out of place anywhere.
But seriously, I heard Blue Rodeo's "Try" on Regina's rock station and that took me back a little. A Canadian AC staple on one of Canada's heaviest stations? Really?

So my classic rock just played "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback. I've also heard them play "Someday".
This is probably the least classic station branded as "classic rock". They play the crap out of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and even play the freakin' Offspring and Smashing Pumpkins.

Oh, do I have a good addition to this list!
A while ago I heard "Too Little Too Late" by Barenaked Ladies and "Keep A Lid On Things" by Crash Test Dummies. On an oldies station.

Good God, and I thought them playing Europe and The Police was bad.

"Keep A Lid On Things" by Crash Test Dummies. Sweet! I loved that song and it flopped majorly (don't think anyone played it except Triple A)

My active station just played "What I Like About You" by The Romantics. Does that count?

Rihanna - Rockstar 101 (Alternative) Are you serious? What station? BTW my CHR plays Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park all the time - not that it's weird for a pop station to play LP, but that's a really weird (and random) choice of a song to play

TLC's "Waterfalls" on an Oldies station. Actually, there's no rhyme or reason to their playlists anymore.
