Out to rock and 3a this week from billboard.biz. One of the best on the CD in my opinion.

^IMO you should be putting these threads in the Triple A forum - heritage Rock is now almost nonexistent as a format

I wish older artists like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers were still on active rock. I thought "I Should've Known It" and Rush's "Caravan" could've hit active if it were pushed.

I know Rush's "Far Cry" from 2007 did hit the active rock chart and reached #22 on Billboard Mainstream Rock. "Caravan" was a better and heavier song, so you're probably right. I know my local active rock station played "Far Cry" and didn't touch this, and when I called them about it, they said that they were waiting to get the song. Idk if that was a line they used to appease me or the truth, but they LOVE Rush, so I felt inclined to believe them.
Idk "I Should've Known It". EDIT: Just checked it out...yes I do know this song. Must have heard it on Music Choice or something. I don't think this song would have as strong of a chance on active rock as Rush - "Caravan" just because Rush is more of a staple artist of Active, and Tom Petty sounds more dated (classic) than Rush.

This and "I Should Have Known It" were the standouts when I listened to the album. Too bad this will flop.
At least up here in Canada, "I Should Have Known It" was a big rock hit, and I got to hear a much needed jolt of bluesy rock.

I Should Have Known It is probably the strongest Heartbreakers song since they got back together. This CD is pretty awesome too, although I haven't listened to it in a few weeks.
