i've had 12 show up so far, including my #4 and #9

mentioned this on the nomination and/or voting thread but eminence front is one of the only tracks i can think of that sits comfortably in both the CR and balearic canons
love eminence front so so much. i think you could make a case for other tracks in this poll like "fly like an eagle" (particularly cosmic if you cut out after the intro) and a few fleetwood mac tunes, but i say this more because i see them pop up on lists etc not nec b/c i agree

Only 2 of mine have shown up so far (BTO, Steve Miller Band*), but my ballots tend to be exercises in defiance, so no surprise.
*It shocked the hell out of me after a day of cutting and ordering and pondering to find "Fly Like an Eagle" still hanging around on my ballot. There's no difference between Steve Miller and Dave Matthews in my mind, but "Eagle" is hard to fuck with, and the essence of what I consider to be CR.

Also, I've been slacking on my stories because (1) this thread is about THE RESULTS, not my foolish behavior in my youth and (2) I'm at work and on my phone while the rollout is going on, which makes keeping up with things hard, but since The Load Out was a hot topic of conversation earlier today, I have a LOAD OUT STORY:
I was living in LA, it was 1978, and God, I hated that song so much (still do). So anyhow, my friends and I were walking down Sunset, we walked past SIR Studios (popular rehearsal space in Hollywood) and there were some roadies loading equipment into the building and standing right there, not really doing anything, was Jackson Browne. My friends and I were almost always drunk and/or on Quaaludes, so I yelled "hey Jackson, you getting the load out?" And he flipped me off.

If I were a woman Jackson Browne and J.D. Souther would seduce me, raid my purse for coke money, and right a song in which I'm a devil woman who inspires fountains of sorrow.

This is the one time in the poll where I will join in on the "is this classic rock enough?" handwringing. In my mind Michael McDonald-era Doobies is less CR than pre-MM Doobies, and even then "Takin' It To The Streets" is the most classic rock MM single, this feels like much more of a crossover pop hit, don't think I've heard it on rock radio in a long time.

Yesterday we left off with Fleetwood Mac, and this morning we started with the Doobie Brothers. I guess this means we've got a Doobie Mac sandwich here...reminds me of the time I got pulled over by the cops and had to hide a joint in my McDonald's burger.
