Has anyone ever heard the song "Helter Skelter" played on the Radio?

They play what people want to hear. If they suck it is because the people that listen to them suck. Radio stations do not just play songs. They select and play songs from music list that are very scientifically made up and tested with focus groups. They tend to keep play list tight because they only want to play the most popular music.
For more variety, I have found Sirius to be a good alternative. Lots of people think it is silly to pay for radio but I am out and about on my job all day and it is worth it to me to be able to listen to blues or reggae when I want to hear it.

"Oldies"???

It is a great song. It used to be played on the radio in the early 70s- I can vouch for that.

Maybe two or three times. It's not really one of their better songs, in my opinion.
