Lido even got play on "Urban" stations. Not sure how many other times on this list so far that's happened, unless you want to count the time Rerun tried to bootleg a Doobie Bros show.

I already voiced my appreciation for this, but having slept on it, I just wanna say that I think this is my favorite thing that I have read in this thread full of wonderful things so far.

I love origin story songs, and I now wish Long Train Running was a song about how the Doobies formed and became successful, a la "Rock and Roll Band"

Clapton rots but I still voted for "Layla" and a Cream song. there's no class in classic rock.
― Euler, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:16 (nine years ago) link
Sabbath was never adequately represented on radio. At least terrestrial radio, they are all over Sirius' Boneyard and Liquid Metal stations today. Im the biggest Sabbath fan ever and Im sick of Paranoid.
Layla is the worst song of the album that shares its name.
― Prince Kajuku (Bill Magill), Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:19 (nine years ago) link
I consider that a Duane Allman alb
― Prince Kajuku (Bill Magill), Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:20 (nine years ago) link
Sabbath is probably the biggest band with the largest catalog that only has one album as far as classic rock radio is concerned
― some dude, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:21 (nine years ago) link
Voted for this, the outro is still gorgeous, mostly because of Duane's slide.
― voodoo chili, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:21 (nine years ago) link
"Layla" is the only song I can tolerate on that album. well, I guess I wouldn't rather jump off a bridge than hear "Bell Bottomed Blues"...usually...
― Euler, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:21 (nine years ago) link
the greatest scream ever screamed
this is obviously true about "won't get fooled again," and i used to sit through what seemed like 25 minutes' worth of the rest of the song waiting for it, and of course the "new boss/old boss" bit is essential, but "fooled again" otherwise does little for me. my least fave song on one of my top five cr albums.
and speaking of foolin, where the hell is def leppard's "foolin"? sigh.

My Clapton votes went to Bell Bottom Blues and Badge per someone's write-in campaign. I wish I could hear Layla as though I were listening to it the first time. I think I would like it a lot but as it stands now, there's too much cultural baggage and it just leaves me flat.

not quite sure this counts
― Prince Kajuku (Bill Magill), Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:26 (nine years ago) link
"Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" is tremendous. I dig a lot of that record, and Clapton acquits himself well (for the last time, as it turned out -- dude could've/should've stopped there and then).
xxp
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:27 (nine years ago) link
"Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?" is excellent, and I like "Thorn Tree in the Garden," which Clapton had nothing to do with
― voodoo chili, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:27 (nine years ago) link
love love love "lido shuffle" (and "lowdown") but they were early cuts for me. never thought of them as classic rock in the way that, say, toto's "hold the line," which i did vote for, is. but now of course i wish "lido" placed higher, this poll's damn self-imposed vagaries and constraints again.
― PORPOISE AND ME (fact checking cuz), Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:27 (nine years ago) link
I thought the interlude in layla was the best for awhile. I listened to a lot of moe. around that time as well.

I get that. I was trying to think where something like "You Sexy Thing" would go, and that about nails it.
We played Hot Chocolate, but we were also one of those Oh Leah classic rock stations.
