When this poll was still a ways off, I envisioned being able to stuff like a dozen TL songs into my ballot. It was really the only disappointment of the nomination process for me, but I like the way it's working out regardless.

i wish i voted in this now, i'd have had trouble narrowing down this random list of songs to 100

Oh, and I realized when doing my ballot that Montrose didn't make it in either. That was a small bummer.
― love is how's life tonight (how's life), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:42 (ten years ago) link
Montrose fell out of CRR favor a while back, at least where I've lived. I couldn't tell you the last time I heard anything from that first album on the radio.

Aside from "You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet, "Don't Stop Believing" and the Skynyrds, the results so far are kinda kicking ass.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:43 (ten years ago) link
I've never heard Montrose on the radio, so it totally doesn't surprise me.

Not sure how this is "a random list of songs" if you listened to classic rock stations enough times.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
Poll rules. More stoked than ever for the aggregated artist data though - think it'll paint a very different picture than the main countdown.

I suppose if people somehow avoided those types of stations for most of their lives, then I suppose I see how this could be a random list of "songs by white people prior to 1987" and nothing more.

this is p much what it looks like to me but I hate the radio and haven't listened to it since I was a child

how can you hate the radio? That's like saying, "I hate toast."
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:53 (ten years ago) link
very easily...? it's an awful medium controlled by people that loathe me and my tastes and vice versa. also the repetition of playlists drives me insane. I'll listen to freeform/pirate/college radio if I have no other options (ie I am in a car without a CD player/mp3 player/tape player in the middle of nowhere)

tbf, the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anaesthetize the way that you feel.
but then again, so is the toast industry, probably.
i love them both.

Yes! Discussed in the voting thread!

Kinda weird that "Mississippi Queen" mostly reminds me of Howard Stern and the Beastie Boys.

re: Caught Up In You, amazingly, a Southern Rock and Pop masterpiece simultaneously. #2 on my ballot.

Loathe the people, love the songs -- that's not so hard. If the playlists repeat, change the station.

HOW IS THIS NOT IN THE TOP 10 OMG YOU SAVAGES
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:02 (ten years ago) link
My favorite dumb couplet in rock: "MISSISSIPPI QUEEN/IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN". Sorry, no, I don't. But your song rocks it.
― Blood Supper III: Marrow Feast (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:04 (ten years ago) link
if my quick count is correct, 46 of the top 50 songs got between 12 and 16 votes.
the #51 song got exactly one more vote than the #100 song.
the two most extreme vote getters so far are "twilight zone" with 11 and "werewolves of london" with 19.
we are all equal in the eyes of the classic rock gods.
― PORPOISE AND ME (fact checking cuz), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:06 (ten years ago) link
"Twilight Zone" was an easy Top 10 for me. I guess other people agreed?
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:10 (ten years ago) link
hell yes MOUNTAIN. this is my kind of classic rock... i did not vote in this thing but i'm rooting for either free or funk #49 in the top ten, more '70s rawk with sloppy / kickass rhythm sections plz
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:12 (ten years ago) link
the difference in points/votes only gets crazier from here on out. you'll see a little later today that #46 got NINE fewer votes than #47.
― some dude, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:12 (ten years ago) link
60 people voted right? so no song has gotten a simple majority vote yet (25% gets you to 51).Poor somedude these ballots must be insane.
― campreverb, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:15 (ten years ago) link
63 voters. only 4 songs were on more than half the ballots.

Just listened to "Mississippi Queen". How the fuck is that thing only two and a half minutes long?! It's so epic in my brain, with long, squalling solos that just go on forever. That, my friends, is economy of songcraft.
― Blood Supper III: Marrow Feast (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:20 (ten years ago) link
I did not vote in this magnificent poll, but La Grange would have been my #1. Mississippi Queen would have been #2. I hope the former made it into the top 50 anyhow.
