    Anything by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. Never hear them on the radio, either Sirius or otherwise.

    Come to think of it, Springsteen is the same way, isn't he? You hear a bunch of his 80s stuff on different radio formats, and "Born to Run" gets some classic rock play, but other than one or two songs I don't know that you ever hear (or even really heard) anything that he recorded before or after the "Born in the USA" album. If "Thunder Road" came on the radio I — not a Springsteen fan — wouldn't recognize it.

    Springsteen’s Human Touch is a great song on a great album and got very little radio play.

    There are a bands whose early stuff doesn't get played. Pre-1964 Beatles doesn't have a place on radio as it more golden oldies than classic rock. The Grateful Dead's only radio hit was 'Touch of Grey. ' Occasionally I hear something from American Beauty or Workingman's Dead, but rarely and in no measure commensurate with the band's popularity.

    I can only recall a handful of times I have heard an Arcade Fire song spun in its entirety on the radio. Most of the time it's bumper music.

    They have a handful of great bumpers.
    Does DP still play the one only on Fridays?
    I can’t think of the song though…..
