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

I just heard Love in an Elevator on WLUP and my god I hate that song so much.

Here's one that might make my ballot--

Elvin Bishop - Fooled Around and Fell In Love

I'd nominate the Move's excellent "Message from the Country," but no, they never ever get played on Q-107--ditto Love (maybe once in a blue moon on "Psychedelic Sundays").

I'll nominate it anyway:

Move - Message from the Country
Wishbone Ash - Blowin' Free (greatest power-pop/junky-metal song ever)

I really wish my local cr station had a psychedelic show. Dig this playlist from WBLM* Portland, Maine's "Psychedelic Breakfast":

(and yes, they play "The blimp! The blimp!" from Trout Mask multiple times an hour but never play any Beefheart records)

"2nd floor...hardware, children's wear, lady's lingerie. Oh, good morning Mr. Tyler, going down?"

Tarfumes --

For whenever you want to get your psych on.

Cool! Thanks!

nope.

I also heard Proud Mary and dang if that's not one of the best songs ever. Makes me want to spend the summer chooglin'.

I can't even think about CCR now without thinking of aero's hilarious hate-on for them.

i have this spacey, submariney, hazy guitar/keys (rhodes maybe?) riff stuck in my head but cant fucking place what song it is.... kind of sounds like "fly like an eagle" but its not that... anyone?

Steve Miller-My Dark Hour

xp: that was a great thread. I was reading through it just last week.

Les Dudek who played on Ramblin Man is presumably somewhere in that Mask photo. I'd bet the cast of Mask were big Allman Bros fans.

oh, wait, that's because it was revived.

not that either... its closer to the sound on ted nugent's "stanglehold"

I know it won't happen, but "Hair of the Dog" should really win this thing

The version of Highway Star on Made in Japan is probably the best song ever put to tape.

Just checked, Dudek is the guy with the facial furniture kneeling in front.

Has "Blue Sky" been mentioned yet? What a great song.

Front right.

The version of Highway Star on Made in Japan is probably the best song ever put to tape.

Can't be, cause the live "Space Truckin" on Side 4 is the best

Hair of the Dog will be in my top 10 no question. a worthy number one for this poll surely

Did Rainbow's 'Stargazer' ever get much US "classic rock" airplay? 'Cuz if it did, it deserves to be in there.

It's hard to participate in this part of the poll, because I have no idea what was and what wasn't played in the US on classic rock stations. We didn't really have classic rock radio here, at least not until the digital radio era.

I have the same problem. the criteria is up to the U.S. radio listeners to figure out

ok guys here is me singing/humming this fucking riff i cant figure out, help me out here:

http://shoutkey.com/risqu%C3%83%C2%A9

fwiw i would encourage you guys and others in a similar position to vote on your favorite songs anyway. we're handwringing about criteria now but ultimately it's just gonna be about what people like best out of the songs that meet the criteria. xp

An Error Was Encountered

wait lets try that again

ok, no fucking idea.

It sounds awesome though.

oh shit I know this god damn it what is it

it was the "bloo, bloo, bloo" part that kicked my memory in

sounds like ZZ Top's "Cheap Sunglasses" to me

YES!!!

btw gr8080 is now going to beatbox riffs from the top 100 songs during the poll results rollout

oh dude, that will be so necessary.

blooo, bloooo!

yes!!! cheap sunglasses! i even listened to that this morning and must have lost my patience before it got to the blooo blooo keyboard part

fun fact: i played "cheap sunglasses" in my set when deej and i DJ'd a loft party together in summer 2010

and thank you, some dude!

Cheap Sunglasses a strong contender for my #1 spot

I lose my patience with ZZ Top all the time.

no prob! (xp)

are ppl voting for santana?

oye como va gonna be high on my ballot

def. going to be voting for Santana, probably that track
