Classic Rock radio's function isn't to turn people on to music that "never made it." For every one person that would say "oh wow," 20 others would probably change the station.
That said, Love was a staple of my old deep cuts show. A great band that may have eclipsed their labelmates The Doors had they been willing to tour. Combustible personalities and crippling drug problems didn't help either. Great band? Absolutely. Would I play them in a prime daypart? Never.

Arthur Lee has actually put together new versions of "Love" that have been touring (playing small clubs) in recent years! I haven't heard them on commercial radio in Boston since WBCN when it was a "progressive underground" album rocker in the late 60's, but I think I did hear them on Viking's old weekend show when I was up in Vermont a few years ago.
It's true, you can't play that stuff during regular format on commercial radio anymore. It would attract only a small cult following, and turn off mainstream listeners. Perhaps only on a weekend "deep cuts" specialty show. I think I've also heard them on the syndicated "Little Steven's Underground Garage".
There are non-comm stations with "deep" 60's/70's shows that play "Love". I played them frequently on my old show at the volunteer MIT college/community station WMBR Cambridge MA, which was part of a weekday block from 12 noon - 2 PM called "Lost & Found". I "retired" from WMBR last fall after 22 years as I could no longer afford to do volunteer radio, but the "Lost & Found" block continues with different hosts every weekday, playing a very eclectic mix of all types of "deep" 60's/70's music.
The professional Public Radio folk music station at U. Mass Boston WUMB has a Saturday morning 60's/70's folk-rock show called "Highway 61 Revisited", which also plays "Love" from time to time. I was hired to be the substitute host for that show a couple of months ago, and I played them on the one fill-in show I've done there so far.
Both WMBR and WUMB stream live on the web.

Love is yet another example of a great American band that garnered more recognition and accolades in Great Britian than in their homeland. The only distinction Arthur Lee has managed in this country, if I recall correctly, is that he was sent away under California's "three strikes" law for apparently discharging a firearm in the direction of a neighbor's house.
