CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL parking lot tailgate pre-party -- nominations, discussions, parameters, etc.

Great song, too many refrains of the chorus.

"Against the Wind" is the one I can't stand for that reason.

Goodbye to You is probably the Scandal song you're more likely to hear now anyway.

Gerry Rafferty - "Baker Street"
Ozzy Osbourne - "Bark at the Moon"

More Neil Toung songs too -- Old Man, Like a Hurricane, is Ohio on there? Probably others.

Young! Ugh!

But Neil Tongue would be a funny alias.

Neil Tse-tung

Quarterflash - Harden My Heart
Heart - Bebe Le Strange

Thinking these need to be here:

Tina Turner - Better Be Good to Me
John Waite - Missing You

On classic rock radio?

Maybe some sort of 80's Lite FM or something.

Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues
Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Da Vida

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)

Heard "Old Man" by Neil Young approximately one million times on classic rock radio as a child. Feels like canon to me for sure.

Xps For a while, "Fire On High" was one of the only ELO songs you'd here down here (the others being "Evil Woman" and "Don't Bring Me Down".)

Well, yeah noms "Witchy Woman" & "New Kid In Town"

Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin'

This one's borderline, I'm sure, but I've heard it mixed in between more standard classic rock fare before.

One more Well, yeah..."Desperado"

WitchAY Woman

the other neil that seems CR canon to me is "rockin' in the free world."

and this may be a new york/LA thing, but the ramones' "i wanna be sedated" seems pretty comfortably CR to me too.

Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me
Todd Rundgren - I Saw the Light
Thunderclap Newman - Something in the Air
The Raspberries - Go All the Way
Booker T. and the MG's - Green Onions (one of those pre-Beatles tracks that def should be included imo)
The Box Tops - The Letter
Paul McCartney/Wings - Junior's Farm
Paul McCartney/Wings - Another Day
Paul McCartney/Wings - Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
Paul McCartney/Wings - My Love
Paul McCartney/Wings - Listen to What the Man Said
Paul McCartney/Wings - Silly Love Songs
Paul McCartney/Wings - Let 'Em In
Paul McCartney/Wings - With a Little Luck

I Wanna Be Sedated is every CR station's token punk song. God Save the Queen is still a little too aggravating.

Badfinger - No Matter What
Badfinger - Baby Blue
Badfinger - Day After Day
Badfinger - Come and Get It

Train in Vain is the only British punk song I've ever heard on a CR station.

I Wanna Be Sedated is every CR station's token punk song.

lol, heard this on the CR station while driving to work this morning and it made me raise an eyebrow

Used to hear both "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Train in Vain" on classic rock stations.

I hear "London Calling" sometimes.

Can't get away from these guys...

Don Henley: "Sunset Grill", "All She Wants To Do Is Dance", and "Not Enough Love In The World"

Glenn Frey: "Smuggler's Blues", "You Belong To The City", and "The Heat Is On"

Blood, Sweat, and Tears - "You've Made Me So Very Happy"

This is skewed, but I live in Texas, and SRV is a Deity of sorts on our CR radio, so:

Texas Flood
Look At Little Sister
Couldn't Stand The Weather
Change It
Tightrope
The House Is Rockin' (these two, like Crossfire, are from '89)

"watching the wheels" is such a jam. good call

Chicago -- Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
Chicago -- Feeling Stronger Every Day

Robert Plant: "Big Log", "Little By Little"

Orleans - "Still the One"

Chicago - Make Me Smile
Chicago - Beginnings
Chicago - Old Days

Chicago "classic rock" stations leaned heavily on Chicago -- sounds similar to what Grisso/McCain pointed out about Texas/SRV.

<3 badfinger!!

Are the Turtles/Raspberries oldies or classic rock?

I hear the Raspberries (well, just "Go All The Way") all the time, but never the Turtles.

(on classic rock, that is)

I guess one is prob former and one latter. 60s-70s were a blur to me during my prime classic rock radio years. I was mostly a little kid.

I don't know where I'm going to start voting in this thing. So much to choose from!

ZZ Top: "Sharp Dressed Man", "Tube Snake Boogie", "Pearl Necklace", "Arrested For Driving While Blind", "Sleeping Bag"

The SRV that got played to death on rural IL classic rock radio was "Pride and Joy"

will second the Robert Plant solo nominations

I am definitely all for nominating regional staples and giving them a shot at some votes. I didn't put any Little Feat in the initial list because Maryland/DC is a big support base for them and I never know how much airplay they get elsewhere, so it was cool to see someone else throw their name into the mix (although I hear "Dixie Chicken" more than the 2 songs mentioned).

Guess Who - Undun
Guess Who - No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature

Zombies - Time of the Season

The Guess Who -- "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature"
The Zombies -- "Time of the Season"

xpost -- holy shit!

seriously that's fucking

uncanny

will second the Robert Plant Glenn Frey solo nominations
