Well, I'll just repeat the comment I made on the newer thread so it can be completely ignored again. the new Stevie Winwood 3cd best of that has just been being reviewed over the last few weeks has about a disc and a half of Traffic on according to reviews I've read. i'd expect that'd mean that a lot more people would be becoming aware of, or reminded of the existence of the band.
I don't really listen to the radio but I would expect this added availability to be reflected in playlists. & thereby further recognition. Plus I'd expect a lot more of them being played. Though I'm not sure how the casual listener responds to 3cd best ofs, if they do at all. whether they'd just get stuck on one of the 3 discs all the time or what.
BBC4's doc last Friday, repeated last night was a bio of Stevie winwood which might add to recognition too.
