Didn't Macca claim that Steve Miller was his favorite guitarist? Yikes...― Iago Galdston, Monday, July 28, 2014 4:06 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Recommendation: don't seek out their 1997 collaboration "Used To Be Bad."
"Runnin' With The Devil" is, ironically, god-like. AaaaaaaaAAAAAAAH!!!!! OH GOD! OH GOD I'M RUNNINGAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Maybe the best showcase for Roth as lead singer, a justification or mission statement for what it is that he does. "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" is maybe more of a song, but my heart is with this one.

I know you didn't expect to have to get your lighters out this early in the show, but it's time to get 'em out:

I kind of hate the guitar solo in this song.

My 17.
Struggling to think of another band I adore (3 of their songs in my top 100!) where I hate their biggest song. Can't even take the 4 minute demo version.

For a couple of years Free Bird was my go to song to tell people it was time to leave my party.
Unfortunately I found out every party always has the couple of drunkards who scream 'fuck yeah finally some good music' and try to rock out through the whole thing... for them I had to play this one afterwards:

Granted it is totally played out and granted it is never, ever funny to yell a request for "Free Bird," still: the idea that there are 82 tracks more Classic and more Rock than this boggles my aging mind.

I last heard somebody yell "Free Bird" at a show exactly 164 hours ago.

ughhhhhhhhhhh you guys I hate that I have missed most of this rollout so far. hopefully tomorrow will be kinder to me
crying into my can of beer that 'Walk Away' came in so low. I even voted it my #1 to give an extra bump. Oh well. Glad it ranked, it's such a great jame

yeah i have nothing against "Free Bird" but i much prefer "Simple Man" and "Tuesday's Gone." by the same token "Sweet Home Alabama" is probably my least favorite of their uptempo hits.

Totally possible that there will be more Golden Earring songs in this countdown than CCR.

I've never heard "Frankenstein" on the radio. Listening to it now; it's going on the "songs I probably should have voted for" list.
