CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL: THE RESULTS

Well, we think you've got an idea of what the top 2 is going to be. But let's get it all out there. I was rooting all along for it to take #1, but in the end the gap in points was far too big to overcome. This one's for emil.y.

Wrote in jailbreak as my #4, a vote I was more than happy to waste

Happy it's #2, sad it's not #1.

#2 is exactly where I voted it! I could listen to that opening riff all day.

And your #1. This one's for Sandy:

1. Blue Oyster Cult – Don’t Fear The Reaper
3107 points, 41 votes, 2 first place votes

Yay I finally number oned an ilm number one

totally respectable but I'll say it: Stranglehold was straight up robbed

OMG if The Stroke even makes the top 500 I might have to leave the internet rather than continue to be associated with it

CLASSIC ROCK POLL -- the ballots thread

Superb organisation peeps this has been awesome

Great poll, sad my number one didn't cut it.

Looking forward to seeing the Top 500.

I have to say, it took a lot of man hours, but it all went down pretty smoothly. Glad you guys let me take the last few months to be ready to execute this as well as I could. Huge props again to gr80 for adding so much color and flash to the rollout.

I wouldn't have minded "Lonely is the Night" placing though. It has the best Led Zeppelin riff not actually in a Led Zeppelin song.

No Cheap Sunglasses either, I hope all the Boys of Summer can still see

totally respectable but I'll say it: Stranglehold was straight up robbed

Yeah, that's one shocking omission, for sure.

Great work, poll dudes!

Way to go s.d. and gr80. You guys = rock

Maybe the Nuge's decades of pure assholism induced voter fatigue.

A+ work all around! First round of pitchers on me. I only wish there was a daily calendar of these songs-n-images so I could always start the day off right.

Great poll except for everyone forgot to vote for more Allman Brothers.

agreed, this poll has been a month long blast

posting this from my phone so I hope it works

Excellent poll you guys, worth the wait for sure!

sad to have missed the final bit of rollout but MAN what a ride!!!!!

sixpacks and a joint each to gr8080 and some dude for some STELLAR poll work here

fuckin a guys, you killed it

added to my favorites gr80, awesome job by you and some dude

Nice work, some dude and gr80! Thanks for doing this! It was a lot of fun.

Great poll, loads of fun -- thanks SD and Gr80 for the work! Can't wait to see the top 500 and commiserate with the other few Thunderclap Newman fans.

some dude did all the heavy lifting here, i just got to stumble in to the studio at the 11th hour and have all the fun, thanks to him & the 61 other voters who made it worthwhile

my only disappointments:

• no steppenwolf at all
• no "roll with the changes"
• i didn't get to use the image i used for "peace of mind" for dobie gray's "drift away" as i'd sincerely hoped i'd get to

FANTASTIC POLL EVERYBODY DO A SHOT NOW

oh fuck I missed that "Roll With The Changes" didn't make it, I think that was top ten for me

great job everybody, btw
