Hold On Loosely will be the highest placing 38 Special track for sure, but if Caught Up In You makes it instead of Rockin' Into the Night then a pox upon you all.

oh fuck if the name of the station means we're heading toward Heart as #1
oh fuck YES if the name of the station means we're heading toward Heart as #1.

Today's run is slightly disappointing because it means that some of the bands who only have the one shot at CRR fame are more likely to get shut out in favor of bands we typically talk about all the time (too often, even?).

I intentionally skewed my ballot towards bands that would never get their own poll for this reason

anyone hear a "Just What I Needed" influence on "Caught Up in You"?

I have a really good feeling about Barracuda perhaps taking the top spot, but this whole poll is mysterious. xps
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:34 (nine years ago) link
I am flabbergasted to realize that people like 38 Special enough to want one, let alone three of their songs in a list of only one hundred great classic rock songs. I mean....they're fine, filler bar band stuff of their time, but c'mon!
― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:34 (nine years ago) link
Dunno why, but I could never get into .38 Special. They just sounded so stiff and clinical next to Skynyrd and...well, pretty much everyone else. The songs never really lift off, and the singer sounds afraid to let his freak flag fly. Presuming he is in possession of one in the first place.

Stairway to Heaven was always the last song played at our Junior High School dances -- usually a B-104 dj. It was a weird but popular choice, and the black kids would exit en masse as it started. This vignette of race relations in mid-80s Maryland has been brought to you by...

When this poll was still a ways off, I envisioned being able to stuff like a dozen TL songs into my ballot. It was really the only disappointment of the nomination process for me, but I like the way it's working out regardless.

i wish i voted in this now, i'd have had trouble narrowing down this random list of songs to 100

Oh, and I realized when doing my ballot that Montrose didn't make it in either. That was a small bummer.
― love is how's life tonight (how's life), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:42 (nine years ago) link
Montrose fell out of CRR favor a while back, at least where I've lived. I couldn't tell you the last time I heard anything from that first album on the radio.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:43 (nine years ago) link
Aside from "You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet, "Don't Stop Believing" and the Skynyrds, the results so far are kinda kicking ass.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:43 (nine years ago) link
I've never heard Montrose on the radio, so it totally doesn't surprise me.

Not sure how this is "a random list of songs" if you listened to classic rock stations enough times.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:45 (nine years ago) link
Poll rules. More stoked than ever for the aggregated artist data though - think it'll paint a very different picture than the main countdown.

I suppose if people somehow avoided those types of stations for most of their lives, then I suppose I see how this could be a random list of "songs by white people prior to 1987" and nothing more.

how can you hate the radio? That's like saying, "I hate toast."
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:53 (nine years ago) link
very easily...? it's an awful medium controlled by people that loathe me and my tastes and vice versa. also the repetition of playlists drives me insane. I'll listen to freeform/pirate/college radio if I have no other options (ie I am in a car without a CD player/mp3 player/tape player in the middle of nowhere)

tbf, the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anaesthetize the way that you feel.
but then again, so is the toast industry, probably.
i love them both.

Loathe the people, love the songs -- that's not so hard. If the playlists repeat, change the station.

if my quick count is correct, 46 of the top 50 songs got between 12 and 16 votes.
the #51 song got exactly one more vote than the #100 song.
the two most extreme vote getters so far are "twilight zone" with 11 and "werewolves of london" with 19.
we are all equal in the eyes of the classic rock gods.
― PORPOISE AND ME (fact checking cuz), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:06 (nine years ago) link
