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

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!

Fleetwood Mac -- "Big Love"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Gypsy"

Fleetwood Mac -- "Monday Morning"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Over My Head"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Sara"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Say You Love Me"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Sentimental Lady"

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.
