no soft rock! this is classic rock. unless air supply is your idea of "classic rock"

if that's the case, i have some air supply songs to nom

lol me too

I'm relieved -- I was afraid you'd be ill at the avalanche of noms. xp to sd

"Heart of Gold" is as soft rock as they come, but how could it be excluded?

because it's played on classic rock radio

Yeah, as much as I love "Baby Come Back", I'm out if Bread and Player are in.

(Not really but I don't think they fit in here.)

Americans nominating Triumph songs = heartwarming

good to see that michele michaels is still running the electric lunch on dve <3

miss u herschel

xp and red rider on the original list!

Climax Blues Band - Couldn't Get It Right
Boz Scaggs - Lowdown
Boz Scaggs - Lido Shuffle

I don't necessarily want to nominate this, but driving through central Illinois last year I hit a CR station and they surprised me with Leo Sayer's "Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance)". Hadn't heard that in 20 years at least.

yeah, I have no idea what qualifies and what doesn't. will vote though cause the list is beautiful already

yes lido please we need some boz

Bowie suggestion: "Jean Genie" over either of the '80s hits

Donovan - Atlantis
Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man
Donovan - Sunshine Superman
Dire Straits - Tunnel Of Love
Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet
Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue
Eric Clapton - Let It Rain

Modern English -- "I Melt with You"
War -- "Spill the Wine"

The Animals: "The House of The Rising Son", "We've Got To Get Out of This Place", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "It's My Life"

when voting everyone should designate the locations and call letters of the classic rock stations in their lives imo

is this the thread that will break ILX?

going to put some thought into this and come up with some later.

104.3 Gold FM in Melbourne was my australian variation on the 'classic rock' station

Mr Veg would like me to give a shout out to his classic rock station 98.5 KZAP

a proper station identification would be KZAP Sacramento

just make sure to mention it within six minutes of the top of the hour iirc

Don't think I saw any J.J. Cale above:
- After Midnight
- Cocaine
- Call Me the Breeze

A couple more from Joe Cocker
- With A Little Help From My Friends
- The Letter

WKLS Atlanta, 96 Rock

Eddie Rabbit - I Love A Rainy Night

not sure if it counts, they played the shit out of it in Australia on the classic rock station

Sub poll idea: can we do a top 10 tracks we never ever want to hear again?

Had the same thought when someone posted "Green Eyed Lady"

I second the idea of an "ENOUGH ALREADY!" side poll.

Otm re: green eyed lady

Don't think I saw any J.J. Cale above:
- After Midnight
- Cocaine
- Call Me the Breeze

lynyrd skynyrd's "call me the breeze" and eric clapton's "cocaine" are both on the original list, and ec's "after midnight" was nominated somewhere along the way. does any classic rock station actually play j.j. cale, though?

Hawkwind -- "The Psychedelic Warlords (Disappear in Smoke)"

green eyed lady blehhhh

definitely gonna be a 'worst' subpoll.

you guys are crazy, though, "Green-Eyed Lady" rules.
