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

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.

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

Fixed.

omg

gotta make Don 'n' Glenn happy

that's completely crazy. gonna test this out ~

Fleetwood Mac -- "Big Love"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Gypsy"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Hold Me"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Little Lies"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Monday Morning"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Over My Head"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Sara"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Say You Love Me"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Sentimental Lady"
Fleetwood Mac -- "World Turning"

phew!

DON: Our bands wound down around the same time, so to me it was both educational and inspirational to see Robert Plant in a solo career that both made a pull from his past while moved forward into a realm Zeppelin never occupied.

GLENN: We were all about the pulling of our own "Big Logs" back then, ifyoucatchmydrift.

DON: Well, yeah.

That got radio play? xp

Heard that way more than "Walk on the Wild Side" back then.

Yeah, I "Intro/Sweet Jane" all the time. I guess having Alice Cooper's guitar players playing standard hard rock made it more acceptable to program managers.

I heard that all the time.
