i'm late but i heard "surrender" on the radio last tuesday, because that's when 100.3 does twofer tuesdays and invariably play i want you to want me/surrender at least 5 times
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:00 (nine years ago) link
I don't remember hearing "Surrender" that much. "Dream Police", "I Want You -- To Want -- ME", even the goddamm "Flame" I heard more often on CR.

Note the large jump in points from #5 to this one. The top 4 separated themselves from the pack fairly early on in the voting and never let "Slow Ride" or anything else get close to catching up. This one is for Jeff and Doctor Casino.

DAMN IT THE WAITING ISN'T GOING TO MAKE THIS LIST

this is pretty cool re: "all the young dudes" (via wiki)
According to an interview Bowie gave to Rolling Stone magazine in 1973, the boys are carrying the same news that the newscaster was carrying in the song "Five Years" from Ziggy Stardust; the news being the fact that the Earth had only five years left to live. Bowie explains: "All the Young Dudes' is a song about this news. It's no hymn to the youth, as people thought. It is completely the opposite."

Also, thinking it might only be two Doobies tracks in the top 100, and one of them is yacht rock.

Somebody needs to translate this for me, i have no idea what this means.

More Than Feeling was my number 1. That song is goddamn perfection. I probably listen to it 79 times a day. Maybe not.

All I know is that there are three songs left and one is Barracuda.

It would be nuts to have zero Bad Company songs in the top 100, though.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:12 (nine years ago) link
one is reaper

Biggest surprise to me thus far is "Comfortably Numb" being the only Floyd pick in a classic rock poll. That's not their best song, their most popular, or their most Classic Rock.

It very well could be The Waiting, but a top 100 with no Foreigner and no Bad Company is just weird.

This one is for Ben. You sent me a quick top 20 ballot at the last minute and guess what? It made a difference, your top song would've been #4 without your vote.
Also, a special dedication to our boy gr80, who did an amazing job with the images. This was his favorite song that made the top 20.
And finally, a shout out to the crew at Jaker's, who always take good care of The Aorta whenever we broadcast from there. There was this chick that used to dance a lot, but I forget her name at the moment.
