hey folks,
you've been tailgating and helping me get the nominations list ready for the last couple weeks. now let's get ready for the eternal all-request weekend.
will post the final nominations list in a moment -- i tried to consider everyone's suggestions but ultimately made the final call on what was in and what was out. there should be plenty of songs for you to vote for. about 800.
send ballots to shipley.al at gmail dot com by the end of day on Tuesday, July 15.
you can send up to 100 tracks (or at least 20). there are also two subpolls:
10 worst tracks
5 favorite classic rock albums (i.e. records that have multiple tracks you always enjoy hearing on the radio -- you don't even necessarily have to know and love the whole album, just the hits).
I've just started loading tracks into the Spotify playlist but hopefully soon all the nominated tracks will be here: http://open.spotify.com/user/1219464571/playlist/54fE6NUiIkUpeR4WENZWWr

(uh, 861 songs, that is)
I know this is somewhere in the gigantic noms thread, but: ordered or unordered?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:02 (nine years ago) link
Do you want the ballots in any particular format?
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:05 (nine years ago) link
Also: EXCITED
this thread should play 'caught up in you' every time you open it
nvm that's probably not a good idea

Did you exclude Three Dog Night's "Shambhala" for some reason?
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:29 (nine years ago) link
Uh, wow, so... you've disallowed 2 songs that I nominated and were going to be top-10 on my ballot.
Guess I'll have to rethink this.
― WilliamC, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:29 (nine years ago) link
Or, "Shambala" as they spell it. xp
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:30 (nine years ago) link
song that doesn't need to lobbied for at all, but which i will lobby for anyway: "sweet home alabama." the platonic ideal for every rock radio format ever invented. but this is its home format. and it has the best sounding guitars ever recorded in the rock and roll milieu.
― fact checking cuz, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:35 (nine years ago) link
Ah yes, sorry: ordered ballots only please, top to bottomed. Numbered not necessary but may be helpful.
― some dude, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:40 (nine years ago) link
Don't know if it makes a difference but you have the following listed as separate entries:Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to LoveJefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit, Somebody to Love
― nxd, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:40 (nine years ago) link
Ha, I just looked that one up and went "Oh, that (awesome) song!"
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:43 (nine years ago) link
I think "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Tush" are the only non-Allmans Southern rock songs that made my initial cut.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 15:44 (nine years ago) link
so glad ILM loves .38 Special as much as I do

Was Mr. Blue Sky disallowed for any reason? CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL parking lot tailgate pre-party -- nominations, discussions, parameters, etc.

Also the song Blue Sky itself. Could have sworn i nominated that.

This is the "Party Rock Anthem" fiasco all over again!

why is Party Rock Anthem not on this list?

Mr Blue Sky is a classic rock staple
not gonna vote for it but
― Euler, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 17:21 (nine years ago) link
i never heard "Mr. Blue Sky" on the radio before it appeared in a bunch of commercials and movie trailers about a decade ago and only a few times since then

oh yeah, disregard the entry w/ both song titles in it. maybe i should've specified that it would've helped to format nominations for my convenience but there was a lot of stuff like that to fix on my end, there was bound to be something falling through the cracks.

I managed to get my list down to 134 on the second pass. I realized I was keeping token songs from certain radio airplay staple bands even though I was either burned out on those specific songs or liked other songs that don't get airplay much better. Once I let go of that urge, it went much easier. That's going to make my ballot weird, I think (no Pink Floyd, no Aerosmith for two examples), but it will be true to my heart.

if you're dying to vote for something not on the list, vote for it, i don't care. but i don't feel like i cut anything that has a fighting chance of making the countdown unless i had a reason, and ended up just trimming away a lot of obscurities that only seemed to have one or two likely voters.

nbd but I pine for Rainbow's "stone cold" as nom'd by (i think) la lechera and I will vote for it

also I heard "edge of seventeen" on the radio last night and it ruled and I'm happy it's on the list!

Is that a different version than Cream's "Badge"? I'll totally vote for the OG Cream recording.

Cream's "Badge" is great. I guess, billed as Clapton, it might be some live thing? I dunno.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 17:59 (nine years ago) link
Ah yeah sorry, Cream did it first - was thinking of a live number. I'll vote for Cream too.

huge place in my heart because it's one of the first songs i ever learned how to play on guitar. i thought i owned the world. also, it's great.
― fact checking cuz, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 18:43 (nine years ago) link
tbh i've barely heard even the really BIG enduring Three Dog Night hits on classic rock radio and just included some of those in good faith, never heard this "Shambala" thing before in my life
― some dude, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 18:44 (nine years ago) link
I guess it's regional (although I don't know why the southeast us would've picked up on it more than other regions)? It's a total radio-cranker for me.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 18:46 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I hear it reasonably often. I'll write it in.

The number of points your #25 song is getting is still pretty high, just list 'em and they'll all get a nice boost

letting the deadline slide is so classic rock
wait was five man electrical band's (or tesla's ffs) 'signs' nominated?
― mookieproof, Thursday, 17 July 2014 01:10 (nine years ago) link
cover was post-86 and nobody nommed the original.
I let the deadline slide on all my polls, usually because i'm anxious for more voters, in this case because the turnout was so huge that it just seems fair to give people an extra window of opportunity while I'm counting.

btw I should just you guys the gist now, the top 100 will probably run mon-fri the week AFTER next, starting July 28. thread will kick off with subpolls sometime next week I reckon. all tentatively, obviously gr80 have our work cut out for us and doing it right is more important that doing it quickly.

― Euler, Saturday, 19 July 2014 19:30 (nine years ago) link
great song obv but i can't recall ever hearing it on a classic rock station
― some dude, Saturday, 19 July 2014 19:34 (nine years ago) link
I dunno I think I remember it as a staple but I have no other evidence.
― Euler, Saturday, 19 July 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link
Thirty seven Decembers ago, pop songstress Carly Simon tore up the record charts with her single "You're So Vain." The song captured the number-one slot on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Adult Contemporary charts, and to this day remains one of the most popular classic rock songs of all time.
from a Carly Simon press release, qed
― Euler, Saturday, 19 July 2014 19:51 (nine years ago) link
Yup: Billboard Hot 100 x Adult Contemporary.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 19 July 2014 20:38 (nine years ago) link
I've heard it on classic rock radio before, for sure.
― how's life, Saturday, 19 July 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link
I never have, I don't think--which is not to say CR stations elsewhere don't play it. Great song, but it doesn't really fit my amorphous definition of CR; for one thing, my guess is it would have been considered pop by Creem readers at the time (as they lusted after Carly herself...).
― clemenza, Saturday, 19 July 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I think that's OTM. Singer-songwriter, not noted as an instrumentalist as such, James Taylor connection, other hits are all definite AM pop stuff, and...a girl?!! Feel like the deck woulda been stacked against her. I'm totally down with the idea that some CR stations could have gone with it though. It does basically rock, kinda. And it's undoubtedly classic.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 19 July 2014 21:03 (nine years ago) link
fwiw this was *precisely* why I didn't nominate any Carole King
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 19 July 2014 21:17 (nine years ago) link
I would've voted for You're So Vain til the cows came home though
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 19 July 2014 21:20 (nine years ago) link
yeah there's a lot of '70s soft rock that's borderline classic rock, and where you put the border is subjective. speaking of James Taylor, i definitely would've nominated "Fire And Rain" if i'd thought about it, although it's in that gray area where i doubt it would've gotten many votes.
― some dude, Saturday, 19 July 2014 21:28 (nine years ago) link
There will be a singer-songwriter poll one sweet day, and Kris Kristofferson will get the acclaim he deserves
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 19 July 2014 21:36 (nine years ago) link
I heard "You're So Vain" on a car radio (*) the other day and the solo + 70s Stones subtext made me think it HAD to have been a CR staple, like in between "Beast of Burden" and "Rock and Roll Never Forgets"
(*) counterpoint: I was in Britain
― Euler, Saturday, 19 July 2014 21:42 (nine years ago) link
It could fit, musically, but, yeah, I don't hear it on CR radio, even though I hear it a tonne or other formats. Doesn't turn up on the couple all-time lists I checked.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Saturday, 19 July 2014 22:48 (nine years ago) link
Adult Contemporary at the time of You're So Vain would have meant the much less hip Easy Listening. Classic Rock at the time would have been AOR. Nice spin by Simon's publicist though.
― campreverb, Saturday, 19 July 2014 22:57 (nine years ago) link
Joni gets a lot of CR airplay here. It's hard to say how of that has to do with Cancon requirements. Absent that, she'd still have gender bias and the singer-songwriter tag to contend with, but not as much as King or Simon, probably. Think she was more accepted by the rock audience back then.
A singer-songwriter poll down the road with a window from about '68 to '72 would be great.
― clemenza, Saturday, 19 July 2014 23:20 (nine years ago) link
i was going to vote for Donovan's "Season of the Witch" but it was not nominated either.

Really? I don't hear her much on CR. "Big Yellow Taxi" does turn up at #482 on the Q107 list.xpost
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 20 July 2014 00:10 (nine years ago) link
yeah...the classic rock canon is funny, women were allowed in, but they had to rock pretty hard most of the time, whereas there's lots of mellow acoustic staples by the guys. some of the mellower Fleetwood Mac hits probably the most significant exception.
― some dude, Sunday, 20 July 2014 00:19 (nine years ago) link
I've been hearing the Court and Spark singles semi-regularly on Q-107 for years, Sund4r. I can only seem to find the 2007 list online, which has "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Raised on Robbery."
― clemenza, Sunday, 20 July 2014 00:26 (nine years ago) link
I can believe it. CHEZ has become pretty limited even compared to the Q, probably.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 20 July 2014 00:45 (nine years ago) link
I think Joni has more CR street cred via her Zeppelin endorsements over the years (plus more shared Zep DNA if you consider her influence on III and IV).
