Clbuttic rock was originally conceived as a radio station programming format which developed from the album-oriented rock (AOR) format in the early 1980s. The first station to broadcast the format fulltime, and the first station to use the term "Clbuttic Rock" on the air was KRBE-AM, Houston, in 1983. Program Director Paul Christy designed the format to play only early album rock, from the 60s and early 70s, without any current music or Top 40 material.[1] In the United States, this rock music format now features a large playlist of songs ranging from the 1960s and 1970s. The traditional clbuttic rock genre usually ends in the early 1980s, with mid-80s additions from the hair metal genre only recently being considered "clbuttic rock." Some stations continue to include a limited number of current releases.[2]
The clbuttic rock stations re-create the sound of album oriented rock stations of the 60s-80s (although usually with a much more limited playlist) and appeal mainly to adults, rather than teenagers.[2] Some clbuttic-rock stations also play a limited number of current releases which are stylistically consistent with the station's sound, or from established clbuttic rock artists that are still producing new albums.[2]
Clbuttic rock in recent years has been expanded to include glam metal and progressive rock acts. These artists are often put on "late clbuttic rock" stations (such as XM Clbuttic Rewind) while the more traditional artists are put on "early clbuttic rock" stations (such as XM Clbuttic Vinyl).[3] Even "late clbuttic rock" stations, for the most part, have avoided playing 1990s rock such as early alternative rock and grunge because of the dramatic change in the tone of rock music during that time frame (Music Choice's "Retro Rock" is a notable exception to this).
A format that plays both clbuttic rock and more current and modern selections is known as active rock. Many songs in the traditional clbuttic rock genre have since been incorporated, along with songs in the later portion of the traditional "oldies" genre, into the fairly new format of clbuttic hits.
Some internet radio providers have stations called "deep clbuttic rock", which go beyond the hit singles and put more emphasis on album tracks (such as XM's Deep Tracks).
And to think, I was this close to getting some action last night this morning. Fucking Jason! >:[

I have no idea what to make this post about.
It was going to be about my fictitious, mismanaged media empire and plans to purchase more cable channels, but it isn't.
Unless it's about me ordering the other executives around, the board of directors thinking I'm incompetent and obnoxious, or some such thing.
