I could never really stand Seger period, full stop. The tunes of his I liked even a little bit are songs we aren't gonna be hearing any time soon (those being the Live Bullet versions of Nutbush, Let it Rock and Get Out of Denver).
So, perhaps, the NAME is the issue. Because if you're gonna call yourself 'classic rock', there's an expectation. The original classic rock, aka "AOR Gold", was based around a certain period with certain artists, generally beginning with the Beatles. I can't say I've heard any Beatles music, group or solo, on the station yet...at least that I'm aware of. The original WLLZ used to play Beatles for a period. But the phrase 'classic rock' automatically makes people think Beatles, Hendrix, Doors, Zeppelin, CSNY, etc.
So it comes down to a name thing. So what would a station that plays everything from a Hendrix song from 1967 up to a Linkin Park song from 2001? I guess a simple positioner like 'All the rock' or 'Where Detroit rocks' might be in order? I don't have the answer. Idk jack squat, or I'd still be in "the biz". But I do know that you can't satisfy all the people all the time...
I like to give credit where it's due. At least they're giving us the 'deep track' thing once or twice a day.
And they don't have Dahmer. That's major points in my book.
