This one is for crutis, the reason The Aorta is 107.7 on your FM dial. The first appearance by a track from the #1 LP in our albums poll.

"Immigrant Song" is the only Led Zeppelin song to refer to an Arkansas city by name.

Re: Zep III, I think of it as rocking super hard, but this may just be distorted memories of my high school bus buddy and I raving endlessly about the coolness of that big booming riff on "Bring It On Home." Which in fact is preceded and followed by somewhat labored blues/folk sections which we characterized as "a bumpkin on a log."

And Neil Young is possibly the 5th or 6th most played artist after Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. But, you know, Toronto.
Yeah, same in Ottawa (although Rush and AC/DC probably get a little more play than the Beatles tbh). I'm surprised to learn that he's considered a niche CR artist in the US. Bigger than Skynyrd here!
"Heart Full of Soul" was a CR staple when I was growing up but I haven't heard it in a decade. I know Q107 plays more 60s stuff.
I'm a little surprised that you don't know "Walk Away", though.

xps: in Stairway to Heaven, Plant does sing "there's still time to change the Toad you Suck". Possibly a reference to AR.

I just got a call requesting this song from Euler, who told me a very long, involved story of how his night moves that, frankly, the FCC would not allow me to even paraphrase for you.

"Radar Love" is amazing. Yet another karaoke song that has destroyed my voice (so worth it). I was pleasantly surprised a little while back to discover that Golden Earring had been around since the '60s and that their earlier stuff isn't half bad.

"Hocus Pocus" is a spectacular song that absolutely belongs in the CR canon and which I never expected to place here.
