Went through my ballot today and realized that I accidentally voted for Frankenstein twice.
I regret nothing.
― voodoo chili, Monday, 28 July 2014 22:11 (nine years ago) link
I voted for it zero times, and I wish I could've voted for it zero times twice.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 July 2014 22:12 (nine years ago) link
Really moving into serious classic rock territory now.

haha there were a couple things like that where i had to be careful not to count the song twice

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.
― Lewis - J'Agour (crüt), Monday, 28 July 2014 22:16 (nine years ago) link
whenever i open my mouth to hum/sing a "cliché CR riff" this song is reflexively what comes out, without even thinking about it, it's ingrained in my mind as "what a CR riff sounds like"
― °ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Monday, 28 July 2014 22:18 (nine years ago) link
Good first 20 today, y'all. Only one kind of sticks out as odd to me (Lou Reed), but people swear it's paid its classic rock radio dues, so I'm not arguing.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 July 2014 22:18 (nine years ago) link
wow 0/20 today

I heard Walk on the Wild Side regularly on my hometown CR station, and they usually avoided that kind of stuff like the plague (there was no Bowie on their playlist, for example)

Don't know about this golden earring song guys. Really I don't see the need for any other golden earring songs other than radar love to even exist.
― Jeff, Monday, 28 July 2014 22:28 (nine years ago) link
When I was younger, I found it impossible to comprehend that Twilight Zone and Radar Love were actually by the same band. It made no sense to me.

great rollout, and great photos. lost my #1 though, feels like Wichita State all over again.

None of mine either but a solid rollout so far
― g simmel, Monday, 28 July 2014 22:53 (nine years ago) link
Four of mine so far, and one of my 'worst' has made the countdown. My highest placer so far is "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" which I had at #14 - still tons of potential for #80-#1 to be just wall to wall unquestionable classics.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 28 July 2014 23:04 (nine years ago) link

does Free Bird have a good rep up north? bc down south it was the alpha and omega
for a number of mid-80s memorial day 500 countdowns in pittsburgh, it finished second
live version or gtfo tho

a large chunk of the songs at the top of my ballot are over 6 minutes long and feature extended deviations from the verse/chorus format. AOR epics are my shit.
― some dude, Monday, 28 July 2014 23:58 (nine years ago) link
So "Free Bird" is "Stairway"/"California"/"Numb"-level in a lot of the US?
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 00:01 (nine years ago) link
I get the impression that carl agatha and I are roughly on the same page.

it has a "Stairway" like cultural stature but airplay-wise "Sweet Home Alabama" has been far and away the biggest song (by LS, or by almost anyone else) on classic rock radio for quite some time.
― some dude, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 00:04 (nine years ago) link
Yeah as often as freebird gets mentioned "in the culture" I've never heard it on the radio very often.
― before you die you see the rink (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 00:12 (nine years ago) link
I sure do.
― pplains, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 00:17 (nine years ago) link
i'm looking at an airplay ranking that slots it between "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Roxanne"
― some dude, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 00:17 (nine years ago) link
Quite the GIS for that title.

Last Skynyrd song played was this morning. Something called "Dixie/Sweet Home Alabama".
