"Hair of the Dog" represents my first "Oh THAT song????" moment on this poll so far.
"Panama" represents my first feeling of true disappointment. There are so many Van Halen songs that are so much better gah.

GNR's "Hair" cover was a mnor radio hit (rock radio embraced it after the only video they made for Spaghetti Incident was for "Since I Don't Have You"). For years I only knew the cover, until I started listening to a station that plays the Nazareth one a lot.

"Panama" is their #1 most played track
Surprised. I had no idea.

Was anyone as confused as I was as a kid about all the Fleetwood Mac solo stuff? I knew Buckingham as the guy who did the Vacation theme song, so I thought he was a Dr. Demento type ("Go Insane" also) and I knew Stevie's "Lips like a One Wing Dove" song, but she was part of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, right? So then these videos with Stevie & Lindsey started showing up credited to someone named "Fleetwood Mac." Who was that? The other blonde girl?

"Hair of the Dog" too low. You voters done messed with the wrong song.

Hair of the Dog is like one of the bricks in the foundation on which CRR stands. It was my #2, but only because there was one song I liked even more.

Panama is fucking fantastic. Top 25 for me.
Won't Get Fooled Again is too long, but I had to vote for it cause of Daltrey and Moon.

"Won't Get Fooled Again" TOO LOW.
What a weird song. The guitar is pretty sparse (sometimes only playing one or two notes per line), the bass is trying to make up for the sparseness while simultaneously sparring with the drums which manage to lay down new rules that no one to this day has yet picked up on while flailing into hitherto-unexplored territory all while keeping perfectly swinging time with the organ/synth...and then a solid 60 seconds of supercharged Terry Riley, Moon laughing through the warning shots, and the greatest scream ever screamed.

Absolutely one of my favorite AC/DC songs. Didn't make my cut just due to the vagaries and constraints of the poll, but I'll love this song no matter how overplayed it is. I met one of my best friends on a Boy Scout campout because one of us was singing this under our breath.

This was actually the only AC/DC track I voted for, but please know it's not the only AC/DC track I think worthy of inclusion in a classic rock poll. I just had to choose to vote for only a single track from some big names to make room for everything else.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 31 July 2014 13:40 (ten years ago) link
Haha what vagaries and constraints of the poll stopped you from putting a song you love in your personal top 100?

I had to leave room for things like Survivor and Red Rider and Donnie Iris, who will never have a shot at making any other ilm poll.

xp: sorry, that would have been better expressed as "the sheer number of good songs along with personal choices about how many songs certain bands could get". didn't mean it as a snub on you or the poll logic at all.

You might think that this far into the countdown, you wouldn't be seeing any more deep cuts. But you'd be wrong. This is The Aorta, and we go DEEP.

#7 for me.
so I don't have perfect pitch, but I have pretty good relative pitch, and at this point I can basically tune a guitar by playing the intro to "you shook me all night long" in my head for a reference G. As good as a pitch pipe.
(AC/DC heads will now point out that it's recorded off a quarter-step or something...)

I think I've always been unfairly biased against Boz Scaggs because my aunt, who was 12 years older than me and pretty much the epitome of cool, always made fun of his name. I voted for Lowdown anyway because that song rules.
― carl agatha, Thursday, 31 July 2014 14:19 (ten years ago) link
I joined this band once, and as an "introduction", gave them all a mix CD of some songs that kinda shaped what I play. Not saying my life was changed by Boz Scaggs or anything, but I threw that one on there since I like the intro.
I was already the Mick Mars of the group, having been born in the Nixon years while they were all Carter children and subsequently, I earned the nickname Lido. But it's cool, they were all good dudes, and besides, Lowdown probably has the better intro anyway.
― pplains, Thursday, 31 July 2014 14:19 (ten years ago) link
I'm sure to be in the minority here, but I find the 'woahs' in Lido to be the best part

Oh the woahs are essential. Almost as essential as the shuffle itself.

When I ran cross country in high school, my friend and I would frequently skip our runs during practice. We'd buy slurpees from 7 Eleven and walk up and down nearby Panama St. One of use would bust into 'Panama' every time. Then we'd run through a sprinkler and jog back to school.
― David Schramm (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 31 July 2014 14:29 (ten years ago) link
I will have to check with our research department, but I am pretty sure no future members of Toto were involved in the recording of this next song...
